This is fucking disgusting
« on: February 06, 2012, 03:23:24 PM »
some cunt in the House of Lords has rejected the petition to pardon Alan Turring

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16919012#TWEET73464

So what if it was a criminal offense at the time? I thought that was the whole point - that is was wrong to convict anyone for this

Note how the article doesn't even mention that he was chemically castrated two years before he killed himself (the only option he faced other than imprisonment)

Disgusting way to treat someone who did so much for this country. Well, disgusting way to treat anyone.

I wonder if their point is to avoid lots of people asking for posthumous pardons for their deceased relatives who were convicted of things that were crimes a long time ago that are no longer crimes now?

That is what I am thinking

I doubt that.
I don't have a life so I like to come here and try my best trolling you all. I'm not that clever so I'm now banned. Again. Odeon wrote this after pwning my sorry arse. I'm now back at Spasticity, trying to make it look like my mission here was a success.

I cry a lot.
