Defending Harsh Sentences for Spammers
BMcWilliams writes "Russell McGuire, one of the government lawyers who prosecuted spammer Jeremy Jaynes, has published an article justifying the tough sentence recommended by a Virginia jury. He writes, 'the defense attorney argued that greed cuts both ways and the victims got what they deserved because they were trying to get rich quick. Needless to say, this did not go over well with the jury.' Still, the eye-popping 9-year sentence has even some ardent anti-spammers wondering whether 'proportionality is becoming a completely forgotten concept.'"
Boy, have you actually smelled a boatload of niggers?
Have you personally stuck your head below deck and taken a deep whiff when, halfway across the Atlantic, a few of the niggers have died and the shit down there is several inches deep? Has the captain ever ordered you to climb down in the hold to shoot a couple of the nigger bucks for making too much noise?
God, nothing stinks worse than that. Nothing.
Oh shut up.

Unlike smoking crack, selling crack actually has victims...
Forehead!
Seriously, The guy looks like a lightbulb with a wig on. 8)=
As for the harsh sentences... 9 years is a little high, but oh well. This guy continued abusing the system after the government announced its intentions.
If thousands of pissed off customers didn't change their mind, and the threat of government action didn't make them stop, what would a light sentence have done? Stopped them for the duration of it probably, but then the guy would have been back out there spamming again soon thereafter.
Perhaps such a heavy sentence will deter other would-be spammers. I know my daily load of Spam hasn't dropped at all, so I wouldn't mind seeing a few more equally heavy sentences handed down. Maybe other nations should follow (I'm looking at you China!).

Laugh, but repeated harrasment IS a crime. The parents should be fined.
