Hopefully, this ends up being a non-story. But, you need to be aware that there are rumors that a hacker group is calling for a 'Day of Rage' on Friday, July 15 and Salt Lake City is one of the cities that has been named. There is reason to believe this is not true.

Personal Liberty is reporting that the hacker group "Anonymous" has requested demonstrations in many major metro areas. This is the location in Salt Lake City where the rumor claimed they want street protests.

  • Salt Lake City: 5:00PM (SALT LAKE CITY COMMUNITY COLLEGE, 4600 S Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, Utah 84123)

I did some digging and it appears this is a hoax that was also threatened back in 2014. Snopes had the following info.

To those inclined to question the likelihood that an actual "Day of Rage" is being planned by Anonymous, we note that this rumor is virtually identical to one that was circulated two years earlier after the shooting of teenager Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.

I would also like to state that I don't blindly trust Snopes as the ultimate source of accurate news. But, it's worth remembering that this was the same Salt Lake location mentioned back then. So, I choose to believe they're accurate in predicting this is another false rumor that has been propagated before.

As with all things you see being passed around on Facebook, it's a great idea to do some research and make sure they're true before you share them with your friends.
