Palin's E-Mail Hacker Imprisoned Against Judge's Wishes

Em Adespoton writes "It was a computer security story that made headlines around the world, involving the private emails of a woman who could have become Vice President of the United States. And now, it's ended with a young man sent to a federal prison, hundreds of miles from his family home. David C Kernell, the hacker who broke into Sarah Palin's personal Yahoo email account, is reported to have been sent to jail despite a judge's recommendation that he should not be put behind bars."

    Another benefit is, say you have them repairing buildings for the city or whatever; you're also teaching them a trade that they can use when they get out of jail.

    Good luck with the unions allowing that!

    Simple answer to that- outlaw unions, throw them in jail, then they can repair all the buildings they want.

    Is it the case that if you happen to be ambivalent about Palin or *gasp*, even be a supporter, that your statements, which normally everyone would agree with, suddenly become inoperative?

    Yes, because you've demonstrated your stupidity by doing so.
