Appropriate Punishment For Crackers?

Cally writes "There's a Kevin Poulson article on SecurityFocus reporting that the US Sentencing Commission is seeking opinions about the appropriate punishment for convicted system crackers and other black-hat types. On one hand, it seems absurd to ruin the entire life of a foolish 15 year-old for committing the equivalent of graffiti. Then again, perhaps these people are cyber-terrorists who should be illegally imprisoned, indefinitely, without a trial, charges, or legal representation? You choose."

    They should be eaten, with maybe a glass of wine and a slice of cheese on top.

    It's not a double standard unless the man has his clothes torn off and is raped, beaten, and then possibly killed, simply for wearing another team's jersey.

    If you go into a bar, or hell, go to an away game dressed in your team's colors, and you are beat up simply for dressing that way, the person or persons who assaulted you would be just plain guilty. Now, on the other hand, if you are dressed in the opposite teams colors and spend 20 minutes taunting fans of the opposing side, while of course everyone is getting liquored up, then a jury might find that you provoked the fight.

    If you think that a woman deserves to be raped because she is wearing a low-cut top or her pants are little too tight, then you have some serious problems and should be taken out of society immediately.
