Whew! I don't know about you, but I'm sure glad we got a hardened thug off the streets ... Don't want anyone going around hacking Yahoo accounts from idiots that can't figure out how to make a 'secure' password.

Karma's a bitch and this bitch will get her's one day. She should have dropped this case for being stupid. Learned her lesson and moved on.

Poor bastard...Wrong place at the wrong time and wrong bitch for sure. I'm sure if I were to guess one of your passwords and go into anyone of your email accounts on yahoo/gmail whatever nothing would come of it. I've heard this happen to a few people I know and guess what happened? That's right, they learned how to make a stronger password and moved on with their lives!

Wow. Someone had their cup of rage this morning.

LOL! The moron knew exactly what he was doing. If you play with fire, you're going to get burned.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Yep, it all Sarah's fault that an angry young Democrat broke the law and is having to pay the price for breaking the law.

ftfy

But the guy who edited the acorn video together was a hero.

 

[Corn]

You are one criminal apologizing douchebag if there ever was one. Wow, the depths of your partisan depravity would crush a block of solid lead.

 

[ericlp]

haha ok.... Yeah and I thought justice was equal for all.

 

[Scotteq]

It is. Witness the kid got a little time in a halfway house. ^_^

 

[ericlp]

If this kid hacked my account... Nothing would have been done.

Justice my ass.

This guy did not hack Palin's account as a prank, he did it in an attempt to destroy her political candidacy.

He got a slap on the wrist with only a one year plus one day sentence, to be served either in prison or a half-way house, depending on space available.

Yeah, hacking your personal account wouldn't get him that kind of a sentence. Doing so as a partisan effort to corrupt the political process merits at least that kind of a sentence.

Yeah....but he did it to a bitch! Doesn't that help his case any?

Sucks to be you, then.


Newsflash: If the kid had hacked my accounts, he wouldn't go to "Halfway House" either.

Tell you what - Go right on ahead and hack Senator < >'s accounts, or Governor < >'s accounts and post them on the Internet. You'll get your dose of equal justice.


Look... The only reason you're upset is because you hate Palin and want to see the kid get off. If the same kid had hacked Obama's accounts you guys'd be outraged and want him strung up by the testicles.

I don't much give a sh*t either way: Except insofar as it stands as a lesson that fucking with the wrong people, for whatever reason, carries consequences.

Does using Yahoo accounts for state business to dodge disclosure requirements corrupt the political process less? Maybe if she were VP she'd decide it was a good idea to discuss state secrets on her Gmail account. That guy did everyone a favor.

Yep, equal justice here.

Why, because you wouldn't have reported the crime?

The criminal charge and punishment for this low rent hacker wasn't created just for this crime you moron. Sure, this idiot got caught because the case was vigorously *investigated* due to the fact the victim was a party to a Presidential election, but that has nothing to do with the "justice" meted out when the perp was *convicted* of his criminal tresspass.

The only victim to karma should be you, who excuse criminal behavior because of rank partisanship. Are you telling me that if you left your front door unlocked (similar to an easy password) and someone tresspassed into your home and made off with your belongings that you would simply say, "damn, my fault for not locking my door, therefore I won't call the cops and report this"? Yeah right.

Silly liberals.

As expected, another example of lefty dishonesty. Well done.

If Palin is stupid for having a weak password, how much more stupid is this doofus to use his own traceable computer to commit crimes?

I suppose for supporting crimes as long as they are inflicted on those with whom they politically disagree, we can't call progressives stupid, merely evil.

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

I'm going to go right ahead and agree with this.

It takes installing one package in any distro or in Windows to be anonymous to a degree where you cannot be traced (it's actually used by the UK mil, there are millions of private computers using it AND acting as servers so you don't really know where it is from, backtrack is encrypted for session and discarded on logout) and he didn't even know how to do that...

I think this is useless though, Wikileaks is a lot more important, focus more people on that and let Sarah stew for a while instead, she did use her own e-mail where she shouldn't have to avoid having it stored, she got her arse handed to her for doing that and since the NSA just like to do that on their ex girlfriends someone had to do it for Palin so...

She is the real criminal, the hacker should serve 1/10'th of what she's guilty of.

How the h3ll could Palin "drop it"?

She's not a federal prosecutor.

If you wanna bitch at somebody for prosecuting this guy why aren't you criticizing the Obama Dept of Justice?

Really? Where is that in &#167; 2701?

He's taking the cue from Patranus, always blame someone you dislike even if they have nothing to do with what is being done.

You are doing the same here, it's hardly Obamas Dept of Justice, if it WAS, you'd have REAL complaints.

Palin went outside of the rules, got caught, the person who got her caught should actually enjoy immunity for exposing it, that is the way it should work, that is the way it doesn't work in the US these days.

Providing evidence of a politicians wrongdoings should mean immunity in the nation as long as it doesn't inflict on security of the nation or the extension of the nation abroad. That's the way it used to be.

 

[alchemize]

I would say the punishment doesn't match the crime, but then again democrats have jumped on the whole zero tolerance/minimum mandatory sentencing thing like a bunch of sheep as well, so you get who you vote for.

 

[PJABBER]

Really? Where is that in § 2701?

LOL! Let me correct my statement to reflect the actualities of the law rather than my personal opinion.

Yeah, hacking any personal account and being successfully prosecuted for such an action would possibly get him that kind of a sentence. Doing so as a partisan effort to corrupt the political process merits at least that kind of a sentence.
