The original thread title.
So they were right to flag you, you lied as you now admit?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoOriginal title: "How Hacker News could help save an innocent man from life in prison" > Today, I sent the District Attorney this comprehensive refutation of the State's case: http://docdro.id/Qr6auC7 http://docdro.id/Qr6auC7 > I'm posting it on Hacker News because I want to crowdsource ideas for how to make the arguments even more persuasive. Which parts did you find convincing? Can you think of any arguments I should add? > Please do not post the link elsewhere, because right now a huge outcry on social media would be counterproductive. The better way to express your support is to actually send a message to Ray in his cell using Letterquick.com. I can't even comprehend how you feel the original thread was a lie.
- aaron695 10y agoAs I said that was not the title. it was - "How Hacker News saved an innocent man from life in prison" Please read the original thread. And now OP's telling us all how HN didn't save him... he did. HN was correct to flag. QED
- toomuchtodo 10y agoThe author makes an attempt with a persuasive title and that makes them a liar? This is someone's life! This thread title should be, "I freed an innocent man from prison despite reaching out to Hacker News for help." Please leave the social causes that could use intelligent contributors with technical backgrounds unflagged and head back to the "microservice framework of the week-which compiler is faster-that one growth hacking trick you need to know" threads. There's enough HN for all of us.
