Dumbest Hacker Pretends to Be Autistic to Avoid Extradition

I can’t believe that the world’s dumbest hacker, Gary McKinnon has still not been brought to trial in the United States for his computer crimes.  He has already lost his appeals to avoid extradition, but as a last resort, he told the court in Britain that he has the Asspergers disease and can’t possibly face judgement in the US.

From McCall.Com here:

Lawyers for a British man accused of hacking into U.S. military computers asked Britain’s High Court Tuesday to block his extradition to the United States.  They say Gary McKinnon has been diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism, and is at risk of psychosis or suicide if he is sent to the U.S.

McKinnon’s lawyers are asking the court to let him appeal the government’s decision to extradite him. McKinnon, 42, broke into 97 computers belonging to NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense and several branches of the U.S. military shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Like all asspergers sufferers, Gary McKinnon diagnosed himself by visiting a website and taking an online survey.  Also according to experts here:

Some close-knit communities of people, such as furries, plushies, and otherkin possess such distorted views of reality as to be particularly susceptible to forming a belief that their ostracism is due to victimization by outside factors, and will not infrequently claim to have Asperger’s or be Autistic en masse, often finding some way to tie its manifestations into the fact that they are social misfits, frequently complete assholes and fail at proper expression of affection. In certain of these instances, having “Asperger’s” seems to be correlated with the posting of disgusting and semi-nude pictures of yourself frequently on the internet and local AIDS awareness seminars, or writing highly disturbed fanfiction. Additionally, it is not unheard of for these individuals to claim multiple, even superficially seemingly incompatible diagnoses of a plethora of diseases — possibly claiming anorexia, ADHD, autism, Asperger’s, schizophrenia, OCD, and anything else they’ve ever read about or seen on CSI.

Next he will start wetting the bed.
