This is so absurd. While you may disagree with the punishment sought and the law, the government is enforcing the law, as written at the time the crime was committed.
They guy actively broke many laws over a long period of time. The government is neither acting without reason nor intimidating someone for lawful behavior.
Bullies don't enforce proscribed consequences based on written law. Bullies don't use courts with impartial judges, juries, and defense advocacy. Comparing this to bullying is insulting to anyone actually bullied.
Comparing this to beating a child? Seriously?

I am arguing a massively disproportionate response occurred. Not that he was innocent, or that he deserved no punishment at all. > Comparing this to beating a child? Seriously? Decades of prison and 13 felony charges were in play. A man is dead. All for what? A little trespassing, a fake email, and a bunch of downloads? It is going to take more than your mock shock to convince me the comparison is anything other than generous. I am holding back here.
