Star Simpson sentenced

I was wondering what had happened on this: Star Simpson "apologized for the actions that nearly led to her being shot by State Police as a suspected terrorist." She's been sentenced to 50 hours of community service for wearing a shirt with embedded blinking LEDs in an airport.

Katherine Mangu-Ward sums it up:

Simpson "is scheduled to return to MIT this fall for her junior year but will spend the first semester with other MIT students installing an electrical power grid in a Guatemalan village."

You know, after she finishes those 50 hours of community service.

The fuckwits are winning.
