Geeks Gone Wild

Parent article: Hans Reiser arrested

Damn, I am shocked. Did he say anything anti-Semitic when he was arrested?
Maybe his wife is Jewish and he needed to commit a hate crime. Man, I hope he is innocent...this will tarnish the face of Linux for a long time if he isn't. Hey, Hans...if it doesn't fit they must acquit.

Have you ever seen Hans? Or a photo of him? Look I cannot be 100% sure but even based on a single photo, the first thing that I thought was: Jew. And now that I know he married a Jewish women, well that just reassures this assumption. But even if Hans is now Jewish, sure as hell he is not anti-Semite. Then he wouldn't marry a Jewish women.

Also in one of the stories I read that his mother was at Burning Man while the alledged murder alledgedly happened. Well... I'm not American nor ever been there, but I think Burning Man is not something an anti-Semite or his mother would visit. Quite the contrary.....

Can this conversation end here? Please? This is not the sort of stuff I want to see on LWN...

Now that I read this again, it's not the kind of convesation I want to be seen participating in, so you're totally right... I just got a little mad. Mazel tov.
