Quoting khigh:" I don't trust them at all. Sure, they do some okay things. But, they have also gotten soldiers killed and disrupted many financial transactions. They are considered a terrorist organization."

What happened?

  Why the hell did they do that?

there is no "they"
anyone can call themselves anonymous
lots of completely unconnected people have done all kinds of things, and called themselves anonymous
maybe *i'm* anonymous
maybe "you" are
at best, they are a bunch of reasonably tech savvy bored 4chen 13-year olds
at worst, they are actual terrorists using a common meme ("anonymous") as subterfuge

Several of the worst ones have been arrested. There's also another one and Wikileaks. Assange is a douche bag, but he's Wikileaks, not anonymous.

no, they haven't
by definition, the most dangerous ones are still out there

the whole POINT of anonymous is that ANYONE and EVERYONE can claim to be anonymous, which then provides cover for ALL KINDS of nefarious groups and individuals
just because someone using the name anonymous did one thing you thought was cool or whatever is not a reason to "support anonymous" because the next thing they'll do will be just as likely to be something you DON"T agree with, like publishing troop deployments
