#2Well fuck. I was there.
The HPD on the scene seemed pretty chill most of the time, but still. Goddamn.

Ah, if only there was as much diligence paid to this sort of thing as to file sharing and drug enforcement and server seizures. I guess the common man isn't as important, you know?
Hey, fellow techies--this is something you should be really concerned about. Selective enforcement of the most crucial laws (don't murder, conduct attacks, etc.) is really horribly bad for business.

#5I'm going to cling on to hope that there is some kind of context missing here, because taking that paragraph at face value is terrifying.
(Example of context I hope is missing would be text like ... "In the event that members of the Occupy Movement have obtained a nuclear weapon and are threatening to detonate it ...")

#10Huh. I looked up conspiracy laws in the US:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_%28crime%29#United_...
"Under most U.S. laws, for a person to be convicted of conspiracy not only must he or she agree to commit a crime, but at least one of the conspirators must commit an overt act (the actus reus) in furtherance of the crime."
Does anyone know if the FBI could have arrested them on conspiracy to commit murder?
