Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Pretty simple.

…or don’t get raised by absentee and abusive adults and then develop a warped world view that leads you to do nihilistic and introverted things like harrass websites. Don’t have an unmedicated anxiety disorder. Don’t have unmedicated clinical depression.

Sorry, I knew the EXACT sortsa kids in high school who would be pulling this sorta shit. I saw where they lived, I played in bands with them. They were swapping pirated games and committing petty theft and vandalizing BBSes. They were like pidgin Anon. And to the last one, they all had horrible home lifes and no guidance, so I just sorta get turned off by the whole giddy send ‘em all to prison thing.

The Bruce Sterling article CJ posted is my favorite observation on this whole phenomenon of why people root for wikileaks and anon, where the ideas come from and what it means.
