To be fair, he wasn't a tech when he was arrested.
New Derp school.

Wow a "gvh support tech" in my neck of the woods LOL
I remember 9 years ago in computer class I got bored and brute forced the teacher password (the password if I remember was her first initial and last name LOL) and I wiped the whole system clean, and she came up to me and said "did you delete everything?!?!?!" I said no blah blah and she knew I was lying because of the logs but she let me go but said the next time this happens i will have to call the cops. But I learned my lesson from that day. Also I remember 2 weeks later my friend got arrested for looking at porn in the school computer during class and the same teacher called the cops on him - btw it was a Spanish music video he was looking at LOL - ahhhh high school memorys
Called the police for looking at porn?? America O.o

With the fucked up school system here the teacher would probarly watch it with you ;-) acceptable only if it's a female teacher.
But I think the school should really take a look at this in the opposite direction. If he can hack something like a grade system, what else in the school is vunrabale.

Wasn't Eric supposed to be a working adult and not 16 years old according to Jon? Or perhaps I remembered wrong and he never made that claim...
@gvh_eric lol
Is this a big surprise? Kiddie hosts can only operate by "employing" kids. This guy is f**ked for life, felonies on his record will make him unemployable for most IT jobs, and he will have a hard time ever getting any job that requires government security clearance. Goodbye to any possibility of big pay checks!
To be clear, charging a 16 YEAR OLD KID (yes he is a kid, not an adult) with a felony for being a cyber punk is stupid. Kid needs a spanking from his parents and a summer of detentions/summer school to retake classes as punishment.
Why arrested? I thought that was only necessary in case of flight risk or danger to the public..
Parent* it seems
"Walstrom is the son of beloved firefighter John Walstrom, who helped rescue victims on 9/11 and died of an illness in 2013."
@Incero
LOL kids in new york are spoiled assholes who will never learn, not 100% parents fault because a little mark on a kid and ACS will be there in a heart beat,
This is why I have signed an agreement with school about this.
Well I am from the Bronx/Brooklyn and was definitely never spoiled. I Also learned a lot more than 96% of people in this country and 99% more than people on this forum.
Apparently spelling was not amongst those things
and we're down to picking out typos. /thread?
Bit of an overstatement isn't it? Someone who wasn't spoiled doesn't usually brag like that.
I'm on a mobile phone riding in a train right now. So find a new way to be just a little more of an asshole than you were yesterday
And please feel free to correct my spelling errors. I'll be waiting so I can edit the post and give credit to you
Did not mean to make this into a tiny battle, I am a born and raised NY'er, maybe I should say this generation of kids, sheesh......
Thanks, done.
I wonder if morethan gets more then the usual of type-in referrals.
The only spelling error possible would be Then for Than...which was clearly auto correct. You sir are a complete troll smh...
Because motivational speakers and success stories don't talk about their struggles before the success? No way they could be successful since they just told me they use to be broke!
Well with that statement I could kind of agree...but it's no way just NY'ers. It's all kids these days spoiled or not. Strict parents are a 1 in a 100 these days.
Not you silly...the spelling guy who thought the need to make a useless post directed at someone who wasn't talking to him in the first place But I don't think its updated on my side yet
@OnraHost
Granted its not just NY but I guessed I mentioned it since I really hate this crazy nanny state. I used to get hit with belts, large ass sticks and I was kept in check, these days a kid could just lie and the parent is taken to court, it is insane the laws on what counts as "disciplining" a child which is why crime seems to be rampant with kids these days.
I missed a post, all sorted :P
