Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case

jfruh writes "Evidence of a gang rape committed by members of an Ohio high school football team, including video, was, in the way of digital native teenagers today, put online on various social media sites — and was quickly taken down as students began realizing the magnitude of the situation. The hactivist group Anonymous has been able to find archived and cached versions of the damning content, which may help prosecutors make their case."

Re:Anonymous has become Batman.

Being a nerd, I feel compelled to point out that Batman has TONS of boundaries. He won't use guns, won't kill--generally won't do anything to criminals aside from beating them up and maybe helping provide some evidence for police of their criminal activity (evidence that would almost certainly be worthless in a courtroom). It's one of the many reasons why he and other comic book heroes look great in a comic book or movie, but could never exist in real life.
