One the one hand, it's pretty clear that "Weev"'s reaction is emotional, ethically questionable, and not an effective way to build sympathy toward reform.
But on the other hand maybe that's too much to ask of a man who was imprisoned for 3 years.

He wasn't exactly the most ethically-upright, sympathetic person before his imprisonment, either.
Before the whole hacking charges thing happened, he was mostly known for being a vocal misogynist and antisemite. He has a history of doxxing women, too (even to the point of posting Kathy Sierra's social security number online).
I'm not sure what character has to do with anything. I think the real story here is how emotions (both by Weev and prosecutors) interfere with our ability to give all equal justice.
