EDIT: found the second article, comment redundant.

Chuck could you provide an analysis of how this article ends up on the front page of here, specifically what value it adds to the situation and how relevant it is. To me I'm strugg…

Honestly read the comments in the submission.. It was insane the amount of misinformation being thrown around. I'm sorry if my comment was exaggerated, I was just trying to highlig…

I'd expect more intelligent people, which this community claims to consist of, to not react the way it has to the events, with nothing but hyperbole and sensationalism. The only cl…

If I proposed that perhaps in an age where cyber crime is not only misunderstood but increasingly high (see anon et al), that perhaps the prosecution wanted to deter Aaron who by a…

politician, with respect I think you need to be more concise with your questions, I would hope Aaron would also say 'no' to the vague: 'Should you always plead guilty to crimes the…

I'm not sure how or why you fail to see or accept any grey area in this. I'm not sure how else to explain my view.

I think the consensus here right now is that because people believe the laws he broke shouldn't exist in the capacity they do, he shouldn't have been punished, and that his case is…

I think the answer is obviously 'no'. But I also believe that your question is exactly what is bad about the situation. It is a total red herring to the issue at hand. Let me expan…

Agreed 100%, your reasoning is sound. I think this is a fair assessment of the situation, and that if more people could hold this opinion, more reform against the laws that so many…

It's a sad day when the mob campaigns to end the career of someone who's simply doing there job, rather than causing change to the actual law that defines how they do the job. But …

Without getting into a philosophical debate, you can read 'objective opinion' as 'it is my un-biased opinion in a neutrally emotional state, to believe the facts to be..' if it hel…

You do realize it's perfectly plausible that they did want to bully him into a plea bargain and that they also didn't want him to commit suicide, and do feel empathetic towards the…

It read to me as if you were accusing the prosecutors of not having any empathy to Aaron in this case. I believe the default human reaction is to feel said emotion, and such I thin…

Can you explain how his personal wealth, is related to his emotional distress over this case?

Ok a felony on his record... I'm sorry I don't think that, 6 month jail time, and a felony on his record === no option but suicide. In contrast given the facts of the case, I hones…

Did you actually just post this? I'm assuming your a grown adult, so it's weird that I'm having to explain this: Everyone else refers to the average person, or more so if you want …

Hi Shock, Basically we operate in a society (thankfully in my opinion), where actually the onus is on the accuser to prove the accusations, with evidence, beyond reasonable doubt. …

I believe it's because for most people who read the case, there's so much mud in the water, the first impression one receives of the case, is that Aaron was facing 35 years in pris…

I'm sorry, but if you are arguing that Aaron Swartz did absolutely not break any current laws (whether you agree with them or not), then you are delusional, I urge you to read Orin…

This whole Aaron Swartz episode, has really shown how un-objective this community is. The last few days I've never seen such hyperbole and sensationalism plague a community. It's t…
