'G20 Geek' Byron Sonne Cleared of Explosives Charges

Posted by Soulskill on from the didn't-have-to-pull-a-dufresne dept.

New submitter davegravy writes "Byron Sonne, the Toronto-based security consultant, chemistry hobbyist, and geek who was arrested leading up to the Toronto G-20 for alleged plans to bomb the event, has been found not guilty of all charges. Sonne was held in prison for 11 months without receiving bail, and the ruling comes two years after his arrest. Sonne is considered by many in the Toronto security community as a champion of civil rights and a sharp critic of security theatre."

    Unlawful combatants don't get rights, because unlawful combatants according to the rules of war have no rights. It's not exactly rocket surgery. And it hasn't been rocket surgery for the last 350 years that we've been using it either.
