Re:Resist! (Score 1)

Yeah, sure. Resist violently, get beaten up, arrested, charged (with resisting arrest at the least), probably have the local (or even national) news run an article about how this college hacker fought the FBI before being arrested and charged. Yes, that'll help things dramatically.

Not.

The average person reading that article, no matter how unbiased it tried to be, would automatically leap to the "Evil hacker, he must've fought 'em because he's guilty as hell" mindset. And that's simply not beneficial to anyone except for the true hacker, who suddenly finds himself with a convenient scapegoat.

Sounds to me like this guy responded appropriately.
