No. He got life for running a MASSIVE criminal enterprise because he financially benefited from the drug/other illegal transactions. The tax dodge could have easily gotten him decades as well.

With that said I think the "war" on drugs is the 2nd biggest US policy failure ever.

He only got a life sentence because the judge was corrupt and didn't allow for a remotely fair trial. The government Broke the law by illegally hacking the Silk Road servers without a warrant. The government's whole case should get thrown out on appeal as none of the evidence is even admissible.

Don't disrespect your masters!

I lol'ed at the back-and-forth.

I'm glad people aren't afraid to speak their minds. (Though, that may change after these subpoenas!)

Quote:
Agammamon: Its judges like these that should be taken out back and shot.
Alan: It's judges like this that will be taken out and short. FTFY.
croaker: Why waste ammunition? Wood chippers get the message across clearly. Especially if you feed them in feet first.
Cloudbuster: Why do it out back? Shoot them out front, on the steps of the courthouse.
Rhywun: I hope there is a special place in hell reserved for that horrible woman.
Alan: There is.
Product Placement: I'd prefer a hellish place on Earth be reserved for her as well.
croaker: **** that. I don't want to oay [sic] for that ****'s food, housing, and medical. Send her through the wood chipper.
Molon labe!

Remember when Proph threw a hissy threat and (thankfully) left the board because he was paranoid that someone said his lunatic rantings sounded like that of a violent separatist? That was funny.

Proph, no, these idiots shouldn't get arrested for idiotic message board posts. Yes, the state should go ahead and investigate when people are positng about feeding judges through woodchippers. They, like yourself, are probably keyboard commandos who like to whine about paying taxes and explore fantasy worlds like AC land while taking absolutely zero actual action but we should go ahead and make sure. The judge has a right to life after all.

"SAFETY! GURTA DO EET FER TEH SAFETEH!"

lol@your hypocrisy.

"They didn't mean it, but let's pretend like they did, anyway."

As long as one life is saved, infringements on liberty don't matter! (Especially if that life belongs to a biased, possibly corrupt judge!)

Perhaps she should step down, since she obviously can't handle public scrutiny.

Yes proph, death threats aren't legal here in the US. As a result, the authorities investigate when someone talks about putting a Federal judge through the woodchipper to find out if its a credible threat. Its probably not, but investigating is the right course of action.

In your make believe world of AC land, which doesn't and never will exist, the limits of what is legal is only limited by your imagination so enjoy to your hearts content.

You obviously didn't read the article. There's a difference between "hyperbole" and "bluster" versus a true threat. (The former ARE protected under the first amendment.)

Now, the people who doxxed her and uploaded her information to the Hidden Wiki might be another matter all together. (But, I'm of the mind that thinks all of this information should be public anyway, since governments already know everything about you via clandestine agencies.)

Lets try again since I know this is hard for you to follow since I didn't make a youtube out of it.

So yeah, its probably bluster but finding out whether it is or not is a proper role of the state.

Again, in your imaginary land of make believe you can make whatever rules up that you want to your hearts content.

Proph definitely should be on the NSA's watchlist and someone probably should contact the IRS on his ass.

Paul D shouldn't burn in hell, even though all he shows is hatred. (Perhaps it's all he knows!)

I hope you keep getting more chances to change, Paul D.

The US Attorney's Office says they're seeking evidence connected to a violation of 18 USC Section 875, the federal law against interstate threats. That's the law that was just considered by the Supreme Court, which held that a 31-year-old man who threatened his ex-wife on Facebook must be given a new trial, because the government didn't prove that Anthony Elonis had a "subjective intent to threaten."

A separate statute, which bars threats against federal judges, isn't mentioned in the subpoena.

In White's view, the Reason comments aren't "true threats" in the legal sense, but only "hyberbole" and "bluster," which remain protected speech under the First Amendment.

"They do not offer a plan, other than juvenile mouth-breathing about 'wood chippers' and revolutionary firing squads," White states. "The comments are on the Internet, a wretched hive of scum, villainy, and gaseous smack talk. They are on a political blog, about a judicial-political story; such stories are widely known to draw such bluster."


Despite his view that the posts are "clear bluster," the government "can probably abuse the grand jury subpoena power this way," White says, citing a 2012 case regarding a Twitter account called "Mr. X" that made juvenile statements about then-presidential candidate Michelle Bachman. A judge in that case said the government's interest in protecting a presidential candidate outweighed the Twitter user's right to speak anonymously.

White's post, worth reading in full, also describes his interactions with Niketh Velamoor, the Assistant US Attorney who issued the subpoena, whom White believes may have been trying to intimidate him into not publishing the subpoena.
Luckily for you, courts agree, Lols.

Unluckily for you, you're a member of the same "wretched hive of scum, villainy, and gaseous smack talk" that exists on the intarmawebs.

Basically, government can do whatever it likes. ("Dun' liek it? TUFF!")

Glad you figured out I was right Proph.

Terrible injustice for someone who created a website to help buyers find quality peer rated merchandise without having to deal with strapped thugs on the streets.

And so the colossal failure known as the "war" on drugs goes on.....
