Submission + - Student arrested for quoting Columbine Killers

HoodCrowd writes: "Yuri Wainwright, 25, of Purvis, Mississippi was arrested last week for allegedly posting threatening messages on his MySpace Web page. He quoted the Columbine killers and posted other bulletins that the University of Southern Mississippi police force deemed dangerous. Those quotes can be found here. There is also an opinion piece from the enlightened student editor here. Has the good ole USA gone to the wimps? Is what he posted really worth holding him in prison for $1,000,000 bond. I am surly going to jail for the things I have posted on Slashdot."

Submission + - Books, ATF, DEA, Homework Censored by Boston WiFi

An anonymous reader writes: An MIT student reports that the free wifi pilot at Boston's historic Faneuil Hall, 'The Cradle of Liberty', uses phrase lists to block public access to many sites on this government-funded network. Among those blocked are Cory Doctorow's book Eastern Standard Tribe , information about lotteries (but not the Massachusetts Lottery site), criminal justice policy sites, the ATF and the DEA.
