Federal Appeals Court Says Sex Offender's Computer Ban Unfair
crimeandpunishment writes "A federal appeals court says a 30-year computer restriction for a convicted sex offender was too stiff a punishment.

"many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised [and] came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. (Matthew 27:51-54)
Zombie stories in the Bible, woo! I wonder if they're the slow plodding type or the quick and fast style brain eaters?
Typical America, treating the symptoms, not the problems.
There's a lot more money to be made suppressing symptoms than there is to be made solving problems. Go go capitalism! /barf
