Police, judges, and other law enforcement officers who enforce victimless crime laws are the real criminals.

Focusing resources on ANYTHING except violence and crimes where there is a victim directly leads to more of the worst individuals who are not in jail. More murderers, rapists, child-abductors, aggravated burglars who are not in prison is what you get when law enforcement resources are focused elsewhere. It's simple math. Sorry to have take it there but it's INFURIATING. The fact Ross gets life while some chomo does 5-10 years is enough reason to revolt, rebel, vote, protest go nuts and shout at people. It's not what society wants... AT ALL. /rant

Fully agree. Actually told a cop this to his face once. I was already being arrested, wtf was he going to do? Arrest me? Oh yeah, and the person I assaulted didn't press charges. I didn't know you could pull that shit and get away with it...

I have 3 problems with the article linked:
Ulbricht had unprecedented public character references and surety (bond/bail) offers in court the first time round, and it helped him not one bit. And here we have a populist-trash style article seeking to influence public opinion on a court matter, my, how judges just love this strategy. His lawyers have already publicly commented that they are preparing their response to the evidence of corrupt investigators. The author doesn't say anything about checking in with Ulbricht's lawyers before publishing the article.
This kind of grandstanding damages bitcoin credibility and confidence. My folks already think CSI:Cyber is a documentary series, and until people like them believe bitcoin is something more than"what you use to buy drugs", people like Ulbricht are going to be persecuted. Bitcoin.org would do better to focus on publicizing bitcoin in a mature financial market style, working to promote it as a credible financial tool. Credibility can only work if something is credible... and "plausible deniability" can only work if it's plausible.
Holy sheets-to-the-wind, did that article just take Ulbricht's difficult personal situation and use it as a marketing platform to promote new financial products? That is creepy and low. Wow.
I'm going to donate to Ulbricht's legal fund because it's a good thing to do, and coz he's gonna need all the help he can get to compensate having for friends like bitcoin.org. Now would someone please help me buy untraceable bitcoin to donate so my fam can't find out and think I'm a druggie?

I mean, all for drugs and shit, and obviously decriminalization would help this, but stuff like cocaine and ecstasy aren't victimless. People get hurt over this shit. While they shouldn't target users, some drugs have fucked up paths to your hands.
