     He should be banned from social media for life. I'm not saying social media made him do this, but I think this should be part of his punishment the same way an abusive cop should never get be a cop again.

     @arstechnica what’s the point of offering a plea deal? The guy was guilty no? What does a plea deal do for the prosecutor? American justice system is designed to give the absolute minimum sentences to wealthy white people and insane sentences to everyone else. You get a longer sentence for selling cigarettes or accidentally voting in the wrong state.
