Why would I want to support such a creep though? Booty bumping bath salts with his sixteen year old girlfriend while he plots the murder of his neighbor, then runs away when he realizes his life of crime is a poor choice of his time given the consequences?

The documentary about him really opened my eyes. I had always viewed him as an eccentric but harmless, fairly smart guy. Then you find out he date-raped his research assistant (unless you think she randomly decided to make that up). He can go fuck himself.

You'd run away too if you could, if you knew what was good for you.

I think wavefunction is implying McAfee shouldn't have committed the crimes in the first place.

Sure, and I'm not sure I'd invite McAfee to dinner, but regardless of whether he committed a crime or not I'd be looking for the exits when the law enforcement of many SA countries came looking for me. Even teen-fucking murderers have a sense of self-preservation.
