In August 2014, Otis Johnson was released from prison after serving a 44-year sentence for the attempted murder of a police officer. He went to jail when he was 25 years old. By the time he came out, he was 69.

He could just (actually, more easily) as easily have pointed out the dangers of enabling javascript without the nastiness. That sort of thing is *why* we can't have anything nice.
