re: #42 No Country For Old Haters
He also doesnāt share our bias against Brown because he hasnāt seen what an ass he is, and has bought the Libertarian narrative on this, so heās just reacting against prosecution for sharing a link, which on its own would be wrong.
Exactly. I personally donāt feel terrible about Brown going to jail, but I worry about the trumped up hacking charges. The copy/paste thing is a problematic precedent. But acting as the messenger to Stratfor for Hammond does seem like a real crime. (And of course: all the threats and whatnot look like pretty reasonable charges.)
(EDIT: I havenāt gone back over everything to see which charges were dropped, I think the copy/paste related charges were last year.)
