Unfortunately, a big part of "what he believes in" is (to use his words) "make people afraid for their lives" and of course, "ruin lives for lulz". So, yeah, I agree he is willing to be quite bold in standing up for his right to ruin. That said, as much as I desperately want to see him behind bars for the things he has done, this AT&T conviction horrifies me, and I hope for all of our sakes he wins this appeal. And he has been right about one thing -- this IS about "embarrassing a big company". Because no law enforcement agency is willing to pursue the actual crimes he has committed against powerless individuals... the things he does to people as part of his "performance art". I have tried every way possible to justify his current conviction and sentencing. But I can't. I support #freeweev but I sure as hell don't support weev. And until/unless you and your family have been victimized by his "work", you really have no idea what he is capable of or truly believes in. -- Kathy Sierra
