@weareintolerant Small but very important correction: Swartz was never convicted of any crime or sentenced to any prison time.
What prosecutors were seeking was outrageously over-the-top, and he was a victim of deliberate malicious targeting by the justice system, but he did not die a convicted criminal.
@Alex
This has already been amended but, for the record, had they sucessfully convicted him it would change nothing. He’d still be a victim and a hero. Please excuse these mistakes, we aren’t on top form because - nows where I paste in a message we are sending to every one who’s commented - It’s happening to us right now. Please learn about what we are facing, (pointers to how to do so in the OP) they almost finished us less than a week ago… Rosa took an overdose. This is not a drill we are in real danger and in desperate need for solidarity. We plead with everyone who’s heart is broken by what was done to Aaron Swartz, please please don’t let them do the same to us in obscurity.
