Let’s take this offline: Anonymous posting bills in southwest Portland

While Anonymous—a decentralized and leaderless organization whose members work in unison on the Web to act in protest—has been a prevalent presence online, it’s not often that you encounter them in the good ol’ IRL. Well, not without a Guy Fawkes mask at least. Until now.

Take the opportunity to wander around southwest Portland today and you might encounter paper Anonymous bills posted on telephone poles.

And more were spotted around town. This one by @lunarobverse.

The posters read:

Dear Friend,

We Are Anonymous

And We Bring You A Message

Your Government Has Deliberately Failed You

We Won’t

Because We Are You

We Are Many

And We’ve Had Enough

We Are Anonymous

We Do Not Forgive

We Do Not Forget

Expect Us

Now I’m curious… Are folks encountering these around town or elsewhere in the US? Please report in with photos and locations if you are. It would be interesting to see if this is an isolated incident or something widespread.
