I'd like to believe that. It would certainly be nice if it were true.

Unfortunately it's not. Weev went to jail for reasons that had nothing to do with the bad things he did. And I think this is worth pointing out, because unjust laws are not selective like karma; if we tolerate them when they target assholes, it's not long before they start targeting innocent people.

Putting people in prison for unrelated things is a normal and celebrated aspect of the American legal system. I don't mean celebrated in some metaphorical sense, either. I mean it is actually celebrated in American culture. Think "Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion".

Maybe that's not a good thing, but it sure worked in this case.

I through that Al Capone really engaged in tax evasion. Even as he did much worst things, if he was really guilty of tax evasion, then it is perfectly ok to put him in prison for tax evasion. Putting people to jail for things they are not guilty of just because they did something else bad is injustice.

Putting people to jail for things they ARE guilty of is fine even if that is not the worst thing they did.
