He's absolutely a hero, if only an accidental one. His actions thwarted a large scale cyber attack on some pretty crucial services, so he definitely deserves recognition for it.
Let us also not forget that these are allegations against him and until he is tried and found guilty, he is still an innocent person with only said good deeds to his name. If that changes, so be it, but let's not get ahead of ourselves until justice has ran its course.
- bitJericho 9y agoSadly, the justice system is so broken we're likely not to see a resolution any time soon, and if he's forced to plead guilty, it may not even be true.
- greenshackle2 9y agoI don't have to have the same standard of evidence as courts to judge someone though. 'Beyond a reasonable doubt' doesn't have an agreed upon numerical probability AFAIK, but let's say it's 95%. I can say, sure, don't put people in jail until it's 95% certain they're a bad guy, but if I think it's 75% likely they're a bad guy, I'm still gonna think they're probably not the most lawful person ever. (I have zero evidence either way w.r.t to this case specifically, I'm not saying he's guilty, but I just don't think it's as black and white as you make it sound. If someone is accused of murdering children, and there is some evidence pointing to that, but not enough to reach 'beyond a reasonable doubt' so he is found not guilty, it's quite sane to refuse to hire him as a babysitter.)
