That attitude is exactly the problem though. These kids getting hit with a 30 year sentence bothers those of us who relate, when the same thing happens to young black inner city kids every day. Plenty of them are just as intelligent, risky, and bold as these kids but we throw them in prison for the best parts of their life without a second thought.

> These kids getting hit with a 30 year sentence

They will not get hit with a 30 year sentence.

That's violent crime though, which is more obviously bad, even to a teenager. If you're 17 and intentionally kill someone then your brain is broken and you should be kept away from innocent people forever unless you really have some delayed development that comes later.

Why do you assume black kids are being put away for violent crimes? Mostly it’s drug possession, and they get hit with years while a white kid caught for exactly the same drug and amount gets off with a warning “to avoid ruining his future.”

Where did GP mention violent crime or killing people?

> To pull off a hack like this is indicative of these kids being intelligent, risky and bold. Yeah, they went where they shouldn't

They engaged in straight up fraud! It's not like they just pranked some folks, they tried to fool the world into sending them money. It's true the fraud didn't work that well (or rather, not in relation to the severity of the Twitter hack), but they still stole some $100kUS or whatever.

You want those people LEADING us "into the future of science"?

> they tried to fool the world into sending them money

Their mistake was they failed to call it a "series A funding round."
