That's one of the things they use the footage for. The footage is otherwise used to identify people, some of who are caught subsequently on CCTV committing a crime and some of who are of simply of interest because of frequent political activity. The use of video cameras by police for surveillance of protest predates the prevalence of CCTV. Cops have historically kept file on activists, long before computers and video cameras became widespread.

Faulty logic... like saying everyone should be jailed because we don't do enough to prevent people we know from committing crimes (otherwise crime wouldn't exist, right?). Taking away the rights of people who haven't commiitted crimes as punishment for those who have committed crimes is the simpleminded response of a society that doesn't understand the value of liberty.

Riots cops don't wear normally wear badge numbers (and, often, non-riot cops at protests don't either). The situation now will be that activists have to reveal their identity yet cops, paid by the public, can operate with no accountability. Cops can now more easily keep files on people, harass them, and target them at demos. And by tying assembly with identity anyone unwilling to risk being targeted by authorities can no longer protest.

I played through Saints Row 3 until the end. No bugs.

I've heard Resistance 3's Move support is bad.

Anon's a pretty decentralized, amorphous "organization": different groups acting independently with different tactics and targets. Folks working under the banner of Anon have done a wide range of actions: some idiotic, some admirable. These guys, specifically, are protesting a cult. So not sure what your beef is with them, pointing out flaws in their appearance and clothing and all.

because they saw your face on the news

And their own video footage. Cops with video cameras are a pretty common occurance now. Cops keeping files on activists is more or less a tradition.

But you're okay with riot police wearing masks, right?

Charred corpses aren't safe for what kind of workplace? Kindergarten, I suppose...

We'll get our tragedy in slow motion and by the time we realize it it'll be too late. What saved the working and middle class in the 1930s was corporate reliance on domestic labour. We had leverage. In the face of globalization, and a business community that's politically engaged, the odds are stacked against us.

Sayre's law: "In any dispute the intensity of feeling is inversely proportional to the value of the stakes at issue—that is why academic politics are so bitter.”

Whether or not the CoS have a lot of local resources, being known as an enemy is probably best avoided.

Not saying retailers are mentally superior, just that when your livelihood is dependent on a publicly available interface and is in a competitive sector then it's obviously advantageous to be careful about public interactions that may alienate potential communities/individuals.

An old revision of the WikiPedia synopsis of the video is golden:

Weird... most retail business owners aren't dumb enough to act like assholes in public.

Haven't played NV, but have heard that the terrain in FO3 is much more scenic. FO3 is reallllly good. Lots of gameplay and some great experiences.

PS3 GOTY Fallout 3 reputedly has nasty bugs, in case you are a PS3er.

Was that pic from when Obama brought in Bill to defend keeping the tax cuts for the rich a year or so ago (honest question)?

Seems like we do. The girl is the one who got accused of contributing to sexual violence against children because she saw something. I disagreed with that, making a distinction between simply seeing something and doing things that create a demand for the things seen.
