You make it sound as though the goal should be to go to prison, or to become a martyr for your cause. I suppose you think suicide bombers are effective freedom fighters as well?
I'm reminded of an old quote, which I think is attributed to General Patton: The goal is not to die for your country, the goal is to make the other guy die for his country.
IOW, you're not out there intentionally trying to sacrifice yourself and take yourself out of the game. That would be silly.
Look, I'm not saying that what Anonymous did was right in any objective sense, but it is what they did, and it's real easy for us to play "monday morning quarterback" and sit here and criticize. At least they did something, which is more than most of us can claim. And, yes, members (or purported member) of Anonymous have gone to jail for their activities.
