The term I would use is: 4chan users engaged in Live Action Role Playing. They were trying to spook you, and they did, apparently. The most they could muster from the entire world is < 200.

I remember when the media tried telling us about how "Anonymous" were "hackers on steroids" who treated things like a "real life video game".[1]

Yes, there are some creeps out there. But they are not a serious threat.

Role playing Nazis, by choice. And this wasn't a historical reenactment, or even a skit/play. This was an attempt at showing fear through symbology and crowd size.

You seem to sympathize with them in a very odd manor.

LOL I see what you pathetically tried to do there.

Please explain, what's so friendly and cuddly about people who's ideology involves extermination of other humans.

Not sure what you mean, feel free to clarify.

So because one news outlet was wrong one time, we should now disregard all reporting from any outlet till the end of time. Got it.

You are an expert on what defines a serious threat now too! So in your clearly expert opinion (/s) what is the definition of a "serious threat?"
