Fact: "Blogging" is hazardous to your personal freedom

So some douche videotaped a riot and won't give the video tape to Federal Prosecutors. I don't really have a problem with refusing to turn over the tape, but spending six months in prison because of it? Someone must have threatened his Life.

"Josh Wolf, a 24-year-old blogger, has spent more than six months behind bars in California -- the longest contempt-of-court term ever served by someone in the media -- for refusing to turn over a videotape he shot of a violent San Francisco demonstration against a Group of Eight summit meeting. Unless a mediation session today can break the impasse, he will likely remain imprisoned at least until the current grand jury's term expires in July. But Wolf's rationale for withholding the video, and refusing to testify, is less than crystal clear. There are no confidential sources involved in the case. He sold part of the tape to local television stations and posted another portion on his blog. Why, then, is he willing to give up his freedom over the remaining footage?"
...My guess is that he's found a "special friend" in jail, is still training him not to pee in his bed while he's sleeping, and doesn't want to abandon him in the formative years of their friendship...


Like I said, pimpin', and to a lesser degree, bloggin' ain't all it's cracked up to be.





Can you guess which one this guy is doing?

You might think what we do here at AoF is easy, even fun. Rest assured, the frequent beatings make it all worth while.
