Weev probably should be in jail, just not for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weev#Trolling I probably would have been OK with them nailing him for "something", but the AT&T case set a bad precedent.



I'm uncomfortable with allowing prosecutors the leeway to just kind of decide who should be in jail based on gut judgements but I'm clearly in the minority because that's not the way the law or politics are moving (like look at the guys getting nailed for mail fraud because of Massachusetts patronage scandals that technically were probably not illegal).
