Throwing him in jail is an awful outcome for justice and for the precendent it sets. I'm very much hoping he walks out of court a free man. Once outside the court, he could get hit by a bus as far as I'm concerned.

When we want weev free, we're fighting for law and society, for just principles, not for the individual.

I was with you up until wishing another human dead.

I may have not formulated that as subtle as I meant, since English is not my primary language. So my apologies for that. I do not wish him dead. I mean that I'll fight for him in this case since it's important for society, but since he's such an awful person I would lose all interest in him after he's out of court.

Read it as a figure of speech, since we technology people always speak about people who might get hit by a bus when thinking about the future of products.

No, your meaning was clear. That guy was either trolling by deliberately misinterpreting you, or needs English lessons himself.

To be fair, there is an important difference between wishing someone got hit by a bus and simply not caring if they did get hit by a bus. I, for one, would not want him dead, as death is rather an overly severe punishment for his actual crimes. I would probably even think it somewhat unfortunate if he actually did get hit by a bus, simply because humans dying in general is unfortunate. But, were it to happen, an honest evaluation of my feelings leads me to predict that I would not weep.

We could also wish that Weev or people like him did not exist, without actually wishing that anyone now alive become dead, or predicting what our feelings might be were such a thing to happen.

What is the greatest harm that someone has caused you? Just curious.
