On 9/4, Sherman Austin started serving a 1-year federal prison sentence for having an "illegal link" on his website. The link in question, which included bomb-making information, was authored by a white boy from Orange County, the son of wealthy Republicans. That boy was never charged with any crime, but Sherman, who is a young, black anarchist in Los Angeles, has been hounded by the FBI and is now doing time for linking to this other kid's website.
