I'm not saying he isn't guilty. I'm saying 11 years is a very long time. 2 or 3 or hell even 5 years in a prison full of non violent criminals. With good attention making sure he doesn't fall back into crime when he gets out, best he should have a job waiting for him in Verizon or law enforcement. And Gary Mckinnon shouldn't do time either. He should get more like detention and again best have a job waiting for him. And Adrian Lamo should have gotten a stern talking to and a job offer. Simply because these kids are brilliant, non-violent, and socially inept, doesn't mean we should be putting them jail.

If someone broke down your door and threatened you and your family with a gun, would you call that a "non-violent crime"? That's what happened to this kid's victims. Sure, the kid wasn't personally breaking down doors and pointing the weapons, but he effectively ordered it. He is responsible for that violence. He and his victims were just lucky that no one actually got killed because of his actions, as does sometimes happen when the police invade completely innocent people's homes by mistake.
