No, amazon4u is making an argument that people like Ross should are more likely to be rehabilated or be more useful to society which is bullshit.
Oh.. yeah... a highly educated guy like Ross Ullbricht should remain imprisoned for the rest of his life for merely putting up a website, while people like OJ Simpson should be released in to the wild, as he is more useful to the society when compared to Ross. Which news channels do you watch? I think that you got brainwashed by watching too much CNBC and MSNBC.
You're comparing a guy who was acquitted of his charges to a guy who was convicted. Not a valid analogy because in the eyes of the law, OJ was not guilty; he wasn't released in spite of his convicted crimes as would need to be true for your analogy to be relevant. Also, Ulbricht did a lot more than "merely putting up a website." That's an understatement if there ever was one!
