He looks like a snot-nosed, unrepentant child of privilege to me. I hope they throw the book at him.

David Kernell's lawyer said his actions amounted to a college prank


BBC News - Student convicted of hacking Sarah Palin e-mail account

A jury in Tennessee has convicted a former student of hacking the e-mail account of US politician Sarah Palin.

David Kernell, 22, was found guilty of obstructing justice and unauthorised access to a computer.

The son of a Democratic lawmaker, he faces up to 20 years in prison for the first charge and one year for the charge of hacking.

He broke into Ms Palin's e-mail account during her 2008 Republican campaign for the vice-presidency of the US.

Kernell was cleared of a charge of wire fraud.

You have to look at the perspective, here. He'll probably get a slap on the wrist. Heck by the Dems viewpoint, he was a freedom fighter for the cause against that NAZI right-winged fanatical Sarah Palin. Now if this had been a conservative hacking into Obama's account, he'd get 30 years at hard labor.

hey, ok now there is strictly non partisan fair and balanced rant. :roll:
 
Ya betcha if David Kernell hacked into Gertrud Shmarkachski’s Email account this would be a WGAS. Therefore since we are a country of laws it should stand to reason that this budding young criminal should get the same punishment as if it was Gertrud’s Email account.

OMG I did not realize that Sarah was a Nazi. Sorry to hear since I thought that maybe with intense and careful rehabilitation she could be cured of her many maladies.

He's not doing that. He's merely wishing it on the criminal who broke the law. Just being the son of a Democratic lawmaker doesn't give you carte blanche to do anything you want.
 
"Hack" is such a strong word. He guessed her account questions. Quit hyping him up as the next Swordfish.

If you want to see a real hacker, fly to Moscow and take a look around.

The thing is, he just guess her password that is not I repeat not the next Swordfish, and I don't consider him a freedom fighter. I think that hyping him up is the reason it went this far. He should just get a slap on the whist he is not the next big thing in hacking.


To the people, who wish rape on people that have a different view than them people like you should be ashamed of themselves.

That is the same thing as someone who wishes rape on some one who disagrees with them...

Let me guess-you were howling for Scooter LIbby to get hard time
 
I'd give him a year. That should teach him a good lesson.



Its so typical the mainstream media is barely even covering this.
 
what this clown did was far worse than Libby

Outing a CIA agent is the same as guessing the answers to questions on a politician's e-mail account?

LOL he wasn't convicted of outing a CIA agent

he was convicted on the testimony of someone else that he lied

BIG DIFFERENCE

and her ID was hardly a secret in DC at the time
