23 CommentsDavid Hu reports straight from the court
Today’s hearing was a “calendar call,” and not that much really happened. In a hearing that lasted about 30 minutes the students were all called forward but none of them spoke. The lawyers of each of the defendants conversed directly with the judge, but no new information was publicly announced. Superseding indictments will be filed, which means changes were made (and typically added) to the original charges. This is done since the information on hand sometimes changes between the time of the original indictment and trial, for instance someone may admit to something they didn’t before or the circumstances might change. The new indictment will take place on March 1st.
Update, 1:56 PM: According to DNAinfo, Harrison David’s lawyer says that David has suffered enough and should not do jail time. Time in jail “pales in comparison to the damage that’s already been done,” Myers said. David is in Florida living with a DoC friend of the family in search of a “more structured environment.” Myers plans to request a jail-free plea deal from the Office of Special Narcotics.
Update, 2:51 PM: Bwog contacted Michael Bachner, attorney for Mike Wymbs. According to Bachner today was a “routine court appearance in which the court sets down schedules for defense lawyers to file motions.” Bachner added, “We’ll be making efforts to have Mr. Wymbs’ case transferred to a treatment court.”

@Bwog uncensored Is ridiculous .
U must be in need of therapy
If you were really ligit you would post your name
@Anonymous My name is Mark. I’ll let the others involved speak for themselves, in case they care more than I do about remaining anonymous.
Does that actually make us more legit?
Doubt it.
@True Don’t really care who you guys are. But props, great idea and well-implemented.
@Libel Us Claire’s mother is an hamster.
David’s father smelt of elderberries.
I fart in Carolyn’s general direction.
Hans is a second-hand electric donkey-bottom biter.
Sameea is a tiny-brained wiper of other people’s bottoms.
Grant is a illegitimate-faced bugger-folk.
Liz is an English bed-wetting type.
Megan is an empty headed animal food trough wiper.
Ella is an English pig-dog.
Matt is a son of a window-dresser.
Conor should go and boil his bottom, son of a silly person.
@Hans Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
@Anonymous So now it’s that game where Bwog pretends to be the nice guys and decides to NOT censor comments for a day.
I bet they’ll even try for an Bwog Uncensored dot Com satire. Watch them make a$$es of themselves.
@Anonymous I’m curious on the technical details of this Uncensored website. How often is it polling Bwog comments? (And is that the reason Bwog got rid of its Comments RSS Feed?)
“But fear not — we’re now using a fully distributed model which means in order to block us, they’d have to block most of the net. ”
URL Fetch via Google App Engine?
@Hans It seems to be scraping every few seconds or so.
We removed the comments feed for other reasons.
GAE is one possibility, it seems.
@Anonymous This son of a gun right here tried everything he could to block Bwog Uncensored but failed miserably. Censorship and the internet just don’t fly together. The chinese are super repressive on their internet, and people figure out how to get through. Hans- we’re right there with you, and we’ll always be a step ahead. You can’t shut down the web. You can’t shut us from the web.
@Oh Lawd You’re likening comment removal on bwog to societal repression in China?
Psh, give me a break.
@Anonymous You clearly misunderstand.
The point of the comment was not about the censoring of comments but about the attempt to block parts of the internet from other parts. Bwog has tried to block Bwog Uncensored’s access to Bwog using various technological tricks. The point is that all those methods will inevitably fail, as they have in China.
@Anonymous seconds? Seems overkill. 5 minutes oughta do it, every 30 in the late late hours.
@Anonymous Lies. It’s far from seconds. More in the order of minutes. But it adapts to traffic fluctuations and inverse response time so as not to strain their servers but still remain up to date. It won’t ever become faster than an order of minutes.
@Anonymous Still curious about what happened to that comments RSS feed. Any plans for an updated version? Now I actually have to check the posts…you’re hurting my laziness, Bwog.
@.... hey bwog,
BWOG UNCE$N$ORED! RULES
@thank you!!! Champion of the people, hero of the undertrodden, voice for the silenced!
May we always be free to write \COCK\ and be racist and call people out by name on a private website!
@The Uncensored Part Well so much for the hype! The thing is, last time we all got excited, people went wild, and Bwog couldn’t handle this, and started to censor tons and tons of great comments.
They’re all available for public viewing.
Check out Bwog Uncensored dot Com.
@Anonymous dang this is awesome
just what bwog editors need
@cc'11 most of those “censored” comments are pretty damn stupid.
@... a true window into the soul of columbia.
@Oh, please, I would hope not. :(
Some of those commenters were truly horrendous.
@Anonymous Interestingly, one that they censored is a comment that says something to the extent of “dang this is awesome. serves the bwog editors right”… this was censored today. So what’s the deal? Bwog censors comments critical of them? Is this soviet russia? East berlin? China?
A lot of the comments are hilarious. What people write anonymously does in fact tap into some part of us. While I understand Bwog can’t keep _those_ comments here, I’m glad they’re out there for us to read anyway.
However, censoring comments critical of bwog itself is absolutely unacceptable.
@Anonymous Hah. Looks like they brought it back after my comment.
