white ppl who've never heard of Kathy Sierra or the CFAA or US v. Auernheimer being like "Now is the time to prove I'm not racist" *tweets*
-
But rolling my eyes at everyone else. Lots of gross opportunism and ignorance afoot, people diving into this without even Googling.
The government picked Weev as a defendant in an incredibly overreaching case with disastrous implications for many, bc he was unlikable.

-
It's hard to walk the line between "I don't care for this guy BUT he should not go to prison." Some people did it better than others.
-
Some were likely scared that bringing attention to his personality or past would be to collude with the government in imprisoning him
-
It's something to give a lot of thought to—how could we have been more supportive of Kathy while taking a stand against CFAA overreach?
-
The swastika tattoo is like the Donald Sterling tape. Everyone knew Sterling practiced *housing discrimination* and didn't care.

@sarahjeong If Weev burned cross in black family's yard (he's just a troll!), would I have to ask you for absolution before condemning him? -
@Popehat oh come on you know how the holding in Virginia v. Black works. Also I have no idea what this tweet means. -
@sarahjeong Go back to your opening tweet, and yes I know Black. -
@Popehat maybe you missed the part where white people called me a Nazi for not wanting to see stuff about weev on my twitter stream anymore - 1 réponse de plus

@sarahjeong@morisy So some journalist folks strained to make him seem likable, cool. For justice's sake. -
@edmondcaldwell@morisy I don't think anyone strained. People are getting attacked for "hiding" the racist "jokes" he would make. -
@sarahjeong@morisy no joke, it turns out . . .

@sarahjeong The government also went after John Kiriakou and Thomas Drake, neither of whom are unlikable Nazis. Weev was one of many.Merci. Twitter en tiendra compte pour améliorer votre fil. SupprimerSupprimer
