New Jersey Mayor and Son Arrested For Nuking Recall Website

phaedrus5001 writes "The mayor of West New York, New Jersey was arrested by the FBI after he and his son illegally took down a website that was calling for the recall of mayor Felix Roque (the site is currently down). From the article: 'According to the account of FBI Special Agent Ignace Ertilus, Felix and Joseph Roque took a keen interest in the recall site as early as February. In an attempt to learn the identity of the person behind the site, the younger Roque set up an e-mail account under a fictitious name and contacted an address listed on the website. He offered some "very good leads" if the person would agree to meet him. When the requests were repeatedly rebuffed, Joseph Rogue allegedly tried another route. He pointed his browser to Google and typed the search strings "hacking a Go Daddy Site," "recallroque log-in," and "html hacking tutorial."'"

  1. So you've never heard of Cory Booker. by ifwm · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Republicans attack their own when they do something as unbelievable as suggesting that, hey, maybe gay marriage won't destroy the nation, or that maybe taxing the people who have all the money isn't socialism.

    Drink that Kool Aid chief, then educate yourself about Cory Booker, the man who denounced Obama's perpetuation of the drug war.

    Seriously though, the fact that you ran off about this subject literally days after such a high profile refutation of your claim speaks to how grossly uninformed you are.
