Linking Dangerously

indole writes "Some /.'ers might remember the story of Sherman Austin, a Californina native who created the "anarchy" website raisethefist.com. Besides posting links to bomb-making instructions, the site caught the ire of the FBI for advocating the overthrow of the U.S. government. Well, approximately 18 months later Sherman Austin, now age 20, has been sentenced to 1 year in federal prison. According to Austin, 'he took a plea bargain because he feared his case was eligible for a terrorism enhancement, which could have added 20 years to his sentence.' Doubleplusungood."

    I believe a man named Darl McBride is the man behind this terrorist.

    You should probably go and shoot him in the head. Quickly!

    I used to manage a movie theatre and on occasion when I was locking up and no one was there I'd shout "fire" a couple of times.

    I'm such the rebel.

    Please don't tell on me.
