I'm amazed by the hoops people will jump through to protect this rat. He already admitted that his ultimate goal was to "harass and embarrass" "rich people".
I'm pretty indifferent towards him, he does seem like a moron and an asshole, but this is pretty much the first time I'm hearing anything about him (before I recall hearing "weev" and a few details about the AT&T stuff, nothing about who he is).
Him being an asshole doesn't mean he deserves jail time for what he did.
How about rather than deciding he deserves punishment because you don't like him, and then getting upset when anyone disagrees with you, judge his "crime" and decide whether it deserves jailtime. After that, feel free to separately to judge him as a person and decide you won't lose any sleep over his punishment.
I'm amazed how many people are willing to accept the possibility of this kind of treatment for themselves and everyone else, on the basis that weev is not a nice guy.
