Anarchists destroy 17 cameras in reaction to Puget Sound's "system of surveillance" and the detainment of the Grand Jury Resisters
On Wednesday, a photo and short announcement was posted on the website Puget Sound Anarchists declaring that anarchists had "removed and destroyed" 17 security cameras in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.
The group responsible was described as the "Barefoot Bandit Brigade," apparently named after the Northwest native Barefoot Bandit, an elusive burglar who remained uncaught until 2010 after a series of robberies that included airplanes, vehicles and bank heists.
He developed a cult following and was seen as a Robin Hood-type character to some. After one of his escapades, he left $100 and a note at a veterinary clinic in Raymond, Wash. that read: "Drove by, had some extra cash. Please use this money for the care of animals."
