Life in prison to protect corporate/government profits and secrets.
Humanity makes being a misanthrope mighty appealing.
The article has a terrible, misleading, clickbait headline. It says in the article itself:
So, he's not being sentenced to life in prison. He was deemed to be unfit to stand trial for psychiatric reasons and so he's being sentenced to an indefinite prison sentence, up to and including life, until his doctors deem him no longer a threat to society. Totally reasonable, given the defendant is severely autistic, was violent, and kept stating his clear intent to continue committing cybercrimes if released.
It’s only life if he does not change his ways. If they can help him to learn to cope, and not to want to continue to commit violence and crimes, then he will be set free.
Otherwise, you’re just running loose a violent person who has said that they will continue to do their crime
But I’m curious, what would your ideal solution be?
Ideal solution under this system? I have no faith in or respect for this system. This is what they do.
If humanity got its head out of its ass, stopped playing the "GIMME IT ITS MINE" game against itself, human information belonged to humanity, and the only secrets that need be kept are for truly dangerous technologies held solely by a government accountable to its people, he wouldn't need to be in jail.
But this kid is threatening the intellectual PRIVATE PROPERTY of our owners. And in our dystopic civilization as we've made it, that means he has to go away.
Okay, since you seem intent on just screaming into the void.
It is that way—>
Neat. Happy Holidays.
