Sci-Fi author Peter Watts was found guilty and is facing two years in jail. The media relays that one border guard claims Peter tried to choke him, but Peter points out that this accusation was disproved in court. In short: Peter was driving across the border, the guards beat the everloving shit out of him, and like always happens, then accused him of assault. He was found guilty, because after he was beaten and stepped out of the car, they ordered him to the ground and instead he said “what is the problem, officer?”

for asking that, he’s facing two or three years in prison.
