    The hypocrisy of these groups is showing:

    The suit claims Capito joined Patriot Front using a false identity and accessed the group’s computer databases to access private information, which he then shared with friendly activists and hackers.

      I don’t like the precedent of ruining someone’s life because it can easily be turned around on you.
