Bryce Weiner attempted to tip ISIS!?

Not sure what to make of this.
I understand the point he was making (see coin desk article) but think that what he did or attempted to do does not justify it.
BTC has a mixed picture in the outside world. This only portrays it worse not to mention the effect that supporting terrorists can have!

What do you think?

I think he didnt attempt, he did sent them so btc.

All that makes me think about is how much financial waste exists in the government. How many people are required to monitor, research and act on every little thing that happens on the Internet. It probably violates the privacy of fewer citizens and costs less to just let one of these groups blow up a building and pay every victim and survivor family $100 million each. Sometimes the decisions of the U.S. government seem almost sophomoric to me.

Send him to GITMO or else execution for treason. His choice.

So wait. You're suggesting he should be either tortured or murdered for sending $1 to someone?  That sounds like a completely rational and reasonable response. 

You know, ISIS would probably approve of your methods and disregard for free speech. 

I think (hope) he was being sarcastic.

Surprized there hasn't been a Jihad coin made yet, good diversion to take some of the heat off bitcoin

In todays news we had , FBI Arrest a Teenager For Assisting ISIS Recruitment, who was somewhat related to Crypto

bryce weiner is certainly an interesting hillbilly.

The law is quite clear on this. He could face years in prison for providing material support to a terror group. Since we are currently fighting them he may also face treason charges. The amount is not the issue, giving even a penny to dasch COULD result in a death sentence.

I think he knew that. It was his choice and now he will pay a huge, life changing price. If he was making some kind of political statement then he should do his time. If he is going to whine about how unfair the government is for punishing him because he is aiding our enemy... well, That little boy has a lot to learn about running with the big boys. They will teach him in prison. Or he can always go to the glorious Islamic State. That would also be educational.

The G20 member nations should just nuke these damn heathen countries and turn all that sand into a giant glass parking lot for a mega Walmart. They could split the profit. LOL

Seriously though, doesn't it seem a little silly for a great and powerful nation to run in fear of a 17 year old child? Are we that fragile? Should I be packin heat every time I visit the grocery store? lol

I have worked training troops and a 17yo. is the scariest solider you will ever face on the battlefield. That is the prime age for a fighter to enter the fight. They are young enough to be excelent learners in good physical shape, and inexperienced enough to not recognize the danger of fighting. it's hard to know what a 17yo. is going to do next in a battle. They can't be counted on to play it safe. They might just foolishly attack and die, but kill you in the process.
There are thousands of kids like this currently fighting in Syria, Iraq, Mali, Nigeria, Sudan, etc...

I regard age as a minor factor. Yes you can't hold kids responsible for all their actions, however someone who has the capacity to know what they're doing and is in full control of their actions should be held responsible for whatever it is they have done.
This guy deserves whatever punishment he gets. He'll probably get off lightly but I believe he should be treated just like a 30 year old would be in the same situation.

There are too many innocent people in countries occupied by ISIS for this to make sense. The collateral damage would make up 99%+ of the dead.

The point is that we do not want terrorist orgs getting any financial support whatsoever. They are already targeting a lot of young people to fight for them

[AtheistAKASaneBrain]

This guy is an idiot. You can't be ambiguous ironical or anything with this, you fuck up by trying to being a smartass by not directly condemning the ISIS rats.

[dothebeats]

Though tipping a small amount will not hurt significantly, the point is somewhere inside your brain, you're supporting terrorist. $1 costed him legal actions and disgust from the public. Not worth it.

Well, I guess I should be packin heat then. Come to think of it, some of those grocery bag boys are pretty creepy lookin. I can see this little bastard chopping someones head off and storing it in his grandmothers freezer.

Um, yeah. I don't think there's anyone that doesn't know that was a pointed joke aimed at our militaristic country. But you're scary though.

I guess just stopping the aggression and constant manipulation of countries where we don't belong is a stupid idea. You know how I kept crazy bullies from beating me up when I was a child? I had no contact with them and avoided messing in their affairs.

She is damn dangerous!

I doubt it costed him any legal actions. It only costed him public disgust. But yeah was definitely not worth it, even as a joke.

I fear that it is love that drives her. A love of killing.

Yeah, ok. She popped out of her mothers womb with an assault rifle and fatigues. Governments fuel hate and no government is better at it than murrica. No country in the world has more armed citizens than the murrican crazy land.

Just in case anyone missed it, QuestionAuthority switched from arguing that 17-year olds aren't dangerous enough to worry about (they're just nice young buys working at the grocery store!) to arguing that child soldiers exist but are only dangerous because of 'murrica. Maybe a better handle for QuestionAuthority would be QuestionBasicLogic.

QuestionBasicLogic also switched from referring to the U.S. as a "great and powerful nation" to "murrican crazy land." Or maybe he's just misspelling "Moroccan."
