RE: Ross Ulbricht: Silk Road appeal denied.
Ross Ulbricht case is a black mark on the modern justice system. I started following (just reading but sadly no activism) his case last year. To me it seemed that from the moment he entered the system, the very wheels of it were bent on jailing the guy.
What is more worrisome is the fact that his case has received tons of public exposure and yet lawmakers are literally bending the rules to make sure this guy stays in. A true example of the fact that the reach of the law is only limited to some.
I think you're on to something. The entire handling of the case appears to be an exercise in outcome-oriented process. Even public coverage/opinion of him was distorted.
Yes, the Silk Road was a place to buy drugs.
But it was also a place for low-income people to buy medications (inhalers etc) at affordable prices without the pharmaceutical company/insurance fraud mark-up.
So I ask you, who is the real criminals?
