    I would love to hear your story, as I mentioned above, but I do not have your email address. You could contact me through a6565666 at hotmail if you wish, I am very intrigued by this whole matter. Obfuscated to avoid bots, obviously.

  3. Re:Take some time and think on Juror Explains Guilty Vote In Terry Childs Case · · Score: 1

    The first thing the jurors should have been asked was "would this be a criminal matter if the employer was a private corporation?" The answer would have been no, and the whole thing should have been revisited as a civil suit. Was he guilty? Hell yes. Did the city abuse it's position to punish him? Hell yes. Would the police have intervened if he worked for Rice-A-Roni? Not a chance.

    I'm no one special, in fact I don't even know Droopus. I just did the research based on his comments. I was going to keep the whole dialog more confidential, but after a delved more into the topic I decided there wasn't a point to that. I can see why he would be paranoid, and it's completely understandable. However if you read some of the comments he made on other sites (mostly gun hobbyist forums) you see a different sort of person, was who was defiant and inflammatory. I didn't include those links because it wasn't relevant to my line of inquiry, which was why he thought he framed.

    Being a media pirate, it's understandable why he would have large amounts of thermite on hand. Being a braggart and a bit of a show off it's easy to see him getting enjoyment from blowing up stuff, and from getting away with something (just raising the stakes from piracy, really). Throw in a pattern of drug abuse and it's easy to see how he could make poor decisions that could potentially affect his future (that's kind of a broad generalization, but not outside of the realm of possibility). This is why I asked him to explain to me what actually happened. Since he is saying I can't trust the legal documentation because he was set up, I was hoping he would tell me in his words what he believed happened.

    It is a very intriguing story any way you slice it, and even outside of this piece he sounds like a very interesting man with quite a colorful and amazing life. From DJ to audio engineer to pirate to felon- Not many have a chance to live as fully as he has.

    To be frank, I don't think making and blowing up a few bombs should be an arrestable offense, provided you do it safely on your own property, and I feel that our current judicial system focuses too much on punishing people for violating the law, ands not enough focus on the intent of the law and fostering rehabilitation.

    Here are the links that attribute to his character around the time of his arrest: they are poorly threaded in most cases, these sites are very poorly laid out:

    Again, these posts are not indicitive of anyhting, but they help to paint a picture of the mindset he was in at the time.

    This guy is a blowhard. A quick check on Wikipedia shows us that A typical ARHAB flight using a standard latex weather balloon lasts around 2-3 hours and reaches 25 to 35 km in altitude, so his "Record height of 35km" is inaccurate. Also, the last time an article like this was submitted, the total project was under $200 and it hit 17km with equally impressive results. This guy is an Ass.
