> possibly productive member of society

Let me stop you right there. Hammond was not a productive member of society. He stole water and power and food, even though he could pay for it (his web design side-job paid for the trinkets he didn't deem capitalist waste). He attacked old people in restaurants. He tried to insight people in public settings to go out and vandalize and attack public infrastructure. He threatened many, many people with bodily harm. He's been in and out of prison and probation for years.

This fuck had it coming.

And let me quote the last part of the article:

  He says he plans to use his time in prison “reading, 
  writing, working out and playing sports – training myself 
  to become more disciplined so I can be more effective on 
  my release”.
Does this sound like a stable, productive member of society to you?
