What makes you think I support those people being locked up either? Also, afaik Ulbricht didn't sell drugs himself, he simply provided an unmoderated marketplace.

Because attempted murder is bad. I didn't think that would be contentious.

FWIW he kickstarted the marketplace by selling shrooms that he grew himself.

Hardly the worst he did. Note a certain Trumps position on the issue though:
