Rape: 1 years, 2 years. Bringing rapists to justice: 10.

[The Serbian Empire]

It bothers me that Anonymous is now known primarily as an 'activist group'. I'm not usually one for nostalgia, but back in the day people like him would have been laughed at and ostracized rather than praised in those circles. He sounds like a classic white knight, involving himself in stuff he has nothing to do with just for the sake of looking heroic and getting the - apparently much-needed for him - praise of young women on the internet.

But that's Anonymous now - and it has been like that for a few years now. It's been hijacked by the young progressive left - bleeding heart script kiddies with an overdeveloped sense of 'justice' and an underdeveloped sense of humour. Instead of closing pools due to AIDS, today's young whippersnappers are attacking Israel's websites to defend the rights of 'the poor Palestinians'. Instead of being the Internet Hate Machine, they're a bunch of misguided and disorganized socialist knights in shining armour.

They should ditch the partisan crap and get back to being an instrument of chaos.

This is what happens when /b/ got flooded with regular people who thought Anonymous was cool back in the Eternal Summer of 2007.

[Gravlen]

Also two completely different crimes, different situations, and different classes of criminals (children vs. adult).

Different victims, different points in the whole criminal justice process. Very different stuff indeed.

Why it's almost as if... as if... it's not the same at all.

Anon were never an instrument for chaos. Just for their own fleeting amusement. Though that annoys me less that people thinking that DDoS attacks or releasing dox are somehow "fighting the good fight". No. You're the internet equivalent of vandals.

Surely they must be the same, they're loosely related to the same event!

[Trotskylvania]

Ohio's sentencing guidelines are fucked.

[Trotskylvania]

I would also like to say that ten years in prison is a small price to pay to bring those degenerates to justice.

[Ifreann]

Ohio's sentencing guidelines are fucked.

Because rapists can go down for less than the federal maximum for hacking?

[Gravlen]

Ohio's sentencing guidelines are fucked.

What, exactly, do you think is wrong with them?

You do realize that the act which may land him in prison for a long time did not contribute to getting the rapists to justice?

[The God-Realm]

This is horrible, I hope the anon is ok.

But guys shut the fuck up about "rape culture". That makes me sick that you think there is one.

[AiliailiA]

Dude, you're a hero. That doesn't mean you won't go to jail. See, the thing about being "anonymous" is not telling people it was you.

[Ifreann]

Please elucidate on how Lostutter brought these rapists to justice. What evidence he discovered was submitted against them in court? Was he the one to make the police aware of that crime?

ifreann doubting lulz once again.

[AiliailiA]

Evidence obtained illegally isn't permissible in court. By illegally obtaining the evidence before police can legally obtain it, a vigilante could actually make it harder not easier to convict.

It's probably better not to even try, but assuming you did and came across evidence, why would you do anything but deliver it to police?

[Greed and Death]

Ohio's sentencing guidelines are fucked.

What would you prefer to have for what was essentially an unconsented to fingering session while the victim was unconscious ?

Regardless of his deeds, virtuous or not, he still committed crimes.

I'm not sure it warrants ten whole years, though.

I doubt he'll get the maximum for hacking a football fan club website.

Because we already know that Ohio police are pro rape and the police had no intention of prosecuting the preverts.

In the old days, vigilantes killed rapists, but the problem was that without due process, sometimes vigilantes might kill innocents. Now, the entire state of Ohio has abolished due process and decreed that criticizing rape is vigilantism and blasphemy.

That doesn't make them pro-rape, that just means they don't want vigilantes killing innocent people.

[Ifreann]

Why did they even take his Xbox?

Because it's an electronic device, which is where evidence of cybercrimes would be.

Just about everything you've just said is a lie.

[Forsher]

Guy commits crime, up for the maximum possible sentence... shocking.

With regards to Dotcom... he's currently living a bad political thriller (that may be an understatement) so it's not really surprising.

6) and blasphemy.

Just about everything you've just said is a lie.

which bit is the lie?

Police collusion was already proven in the previous thread.
Have vigilantes NEVER hanged rapists?
Have vigilantes NEVER made mistakes?
Why is killing someone accused of a crime, but not proven EXACTLY the same as denouncing someone who openly gloats about committing the crime?

[Christmahanikwanzikah]

Hacking private Social Security numbers and other information, then threatening to distribute them as part of a blackmail scheme: 10 years.

Wait, no, that's too long to use as a thread title, isn't it?
