Well, well, well. Let's take a look at the comments section... always an enlightening place...

Some of the choice ones:

"shindig24 1 hour ago I hope they beat these little bastards so bad they can't type their own name without help

5 people liked this."

"bootfklibs 44 minutes ago Taze em!!! Over and over!!!"

Why hello there, fascists. I don't know much, but I know this - that mindset is bad.

If I read and believed the stuff Fox has been telling their readers ever I would already be an idiot.

It's future shock, pure and simple. They get frustrated by what they don't understand, and express it in terms of violence.

He might be safer in a jail cell than running around on his own; look at Sam Hoare. I have a feeling this means no Sun email trove, though. Oh well.

i had that feeling that the boat sank...

I don't imagine that the sentencing any of the Lulz peeps get will make up for the harm they've inflicted.

I don't imagine that any of the harm they've inflicted will offset the dozens of major corporations that are finally getting their security together.

Whether corporations really get their security together remains to be seen. Even if they do, that doesn't justify the criminal acts. Let ATM skimmers go free because they found a way to beat the technology? Let smash and grab jewel thieves go free because they can break a glass display cabinet? Srsly...
