  Re: It's only funny...

  no one does it just for a lighthearted prank. swatting, like doxxing, is done as a message.

  cash bail is normally only ten percent. so did the family actually get 50k, or were there some abnormal circumstances that required the full bond?

  Re: Re: Re: Jokes

  seems like a win/win for urban outfitters, outrage drives sales, they burn through remaining stock, while getting to say they cooperate ith prosecutor requests, and care about this scourge of the community, they get cred from both sides.
  
  
  rinse and repeat, come up with a new line, maybe something in cocaine this time.

• On the post: Did Ed Snowden Actually Write His Latest 'Statement'?

  

  Zos ( profile ), 01 Jul, 2013 @ 05:19pm

  Re: Re: Ed Snowden

  i'm just going to assume that's a troll, i think. or who's been so deluged with media attention that only a cursory reading was given to the story and the site.

• On the post: Did Ed Snowden Actually Write His Latest 'Statement'?

  

  Zos ( profile ), 01 Jul, 2013 @ 05:22pm

  seems reasonable since the man's not exactly been seen on camera, and the usage does seem weird. it seems worth questioning to me, without impunging anyone. ffs, unless you translated/transcribed it yourself and your reputations on the line, i'm not sure i understand why there's any hostility based on asking the question about the statements origins.

  i'd have an issue if the government tried to stop him from speaking, but if after the pages and pages of butthurt moaning someone here decided to kick him out of their yard, i've got no issue with that.
  
  if someone stands on your front porch and gibbers incessantly at you, i'm ok with turning the hose on them. If i thought that privilege was being abused by the admins, i'd go read another website. Could be all those years of moderating boards in the asshole of the internet, but some people really do want nothing but to shit up the joint, and my beliefs in liberty nowhere require me to put up with them. I trust masnick and techdirt to use the kill switch as a last resort, because of their actions to date.

  Zos ( profile ), 20 Jun, 2013 @ 06:00am
