I am not finished reading this thread, but I already have one thing to say:
Everybody, who says he deserves it, because he attempted murder is a FUCKING IDIOT.
Attempted murder was not an accusation in this trial, it has no value whatsoever in this trial.
It might not have been relevant in this trial but it is relevant to his character, so they can think he deserved prison time based on that.
Have you listened to him speak? Read anything he wrote on the silkroad forums (were still up when I last checked but was a while ago). Have you seen his mother speak? His father? Anyone with 2 braincells knows that's an FBI fabrication. Intact, when was the last time the FBI told the truth? Intact, have they ever?
IMO you seem like a smart person noddy who is open minded and has a lot to say on this subject.
I also beleive Ross is a hero and just a fall guy.
Nobody answered my post a few pages back regarding these chat logs between Ross and others not being in PGP, do you really think anybody talks openly over the net about murder without using it? If they did use PGP its never been explained how the authorities even had access without the whole sitch being setup from day 1 to make Ross look likt the devil himself.
Of course the CIA and other agencies run drugs all over the world if they didn't then all drugs would be legal and the US would be debt free. Remember the plain that used to fly Bush around, sold to Barry Seal then sometime after crashed because it was overloaded with about 4 ton of coke on board?
Not even the FBI/CIA trolls here would know 1% of what really goes on in the drug market.
Mexico and USA are at war as we speak and its all got to do with who ends up with the drug profits.
Noddy2000, i think you should start a new thread about all this and it could continue forever, just remember to keep that mind of yours open regarding all matters. The governments around the world do run 99% of all drugs but there at the top, people like vendors on SR and alike wouldn't have a clue who supplies their drugs and probably don't care.
Edit: BADecker you seem to know what your talking about also IMHO.
Drugs do harm people but i've never heard of a dealer forcing someone to take their drugs until addicted just so they have a new customer, and trust me i know ALOT about drugs and addiction.
