IMO, you're missing the point. Is this laden with hyperbole? Perhaps.
But 'how bad life REALLY is as a felon' is not so much the issue at hand, as it is the absurdity of pressing felony charges for what is, apparently, effectively, just a silly computer prank.
- hueving 12y ago"just a silly computer prank" is exactly the downplaying outlined in the comment you are responding to. It was a ddos. Call it what it was.
- AnthonyMouse 12y agoA small scale denial of service is "just a silly computer prank" -- it's like having a bunch of your friends stand in the street and block traffic. You're not allowed to do it, but that in no way justifies felony charges. That seems to be the entire disconnect in this debate. It isn't about whether it was right or wrong, it's about the unreasonableness of imposing disproportionately severe penalties on someone who did a relatively minor bad thing.
