  It's good for all of us that weev walked. But damn. Why did they try to take down a piece of shit like that with a ridiculous bullshit charge.

    But damn. Why did they try to take down a piece of shit like that with a ridiculous bullshit charge. Because 97% of cases don't go to trail, and the US Attorney is in court so often that they can afford to loose here as cost of pushing judicial interpretation towards their favor (I doubt it's an explicit intention, just one of those things that evolve from well meaning incentive).

    > Why did they try to take down a piece of shit like that with a ridiculous bullshit charge. I don't know, but it backfired gloriously. He won on appeal, fled the country, and is now legally untouchable. I suppose the US could always just use predator drones to make him disappear like they do innocent children, but :\

  This article is very interesting. I always thought Mr Auernheimer was running his mouth off in order to get the maximum sentence possible!
