re: #110 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

A 16 year old hacker has the potential to cause a thousand times more damage than a 16 year old burglar.

But the question isn’t about doing damage; it’s about whether this is somehow a political act. Presumably this Dutch kid felt he was acting in a greater cause (Wikileaks) in some sense. That’s why I compared what he did to a Palestinian adolescent throwing stones and asked, who is more responsible for his actions? It’s different from robbery or ordinary vandalism. Do you say, the Dutch kid didn’t know what he was doing (beyond ordinary vandalism) but the Palestinian kid does know (beyond common rock-throwing)? Why?
