Nice words. Very intelligent. I'm just glad you read what was contained in those links. The man is a stone cold thief. Defend him if you want to. I never will. I don't defend thieves.
A thief is a thief is a thief
Well, I haven't seen any argument as to why he was a thief. The arguments you gave all indicated he wasn't, under the assumption that the code was the law, and determined hence what was lawful/right and illegal/wrong.
Is your next assumption now that the code wasn't, after all, the law ?
