San Francisco Just As Guilty In Terry Childs Case
snydeq writes "Deep End's Paul Venezia follows up on the Terry Childs sentencing, stating that the City of San Francisco is as much at fault in this case as Childs is. 'The way that the San Francisco IT department has been run is nothing short of abysmal, and that has been pointed out time and again by anyone paying attention to this case,' Venezia writes. 'Plenty of dirty laundry was aired out in court as well, yet through it all, the city has had a full-court press on Childs, and being both the plaintiff and the prosecution it spared no expense to drill Childs into the ground.' Worse, perhaps, is the disproportion of the sentence, when compared with recent convictions for intended malfeasance on the part of several notable rogue IT admins."
Jail the city!
What level rogue was the admin, anyway?
"rogue IT admins" are the only thing worse than, "mall ninjas." *Dunt, dunt, duuuuunt!*
When, seemingly, most of our judges seem unable to read and comprehend, which is both the easiest to understand and the highest law of the land, the US Constitution, how can you expect any other result?
But the Constitution doesn't mean what it says. It's a living document that evolves over time. That's why we only allow people with law degrees to decide what it means. Following the plain text of the document? That's crazy talk.....
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
"rogue IT admins" - I find that phrase humorous for reasons I cannot explain.
That's a typo. This IS San Francisco we're talking about - they almost certainly meant to say "rouge IT admins".
couldn't have been that high, though I guess the city of SF MIGHT be classed as a raid boss.
Plenty of dirty laundry was aired out in court as well, yet through it all, the city has had a full-court press on Childs, and being both the plaintiff and the prosecution it spared no expense to drill Childs into the ground.
Wow, that metaphor is more confused than an eel at a hovercraft convention. The word on the street is that Infoworld editors are sharper than tacks, but when the rubber hits the road it seems the prose flies like a banana.
