Well, he had a lengthy criminal history and violated the terms of his probation by using the internet without clearance from his probation officer, so he gets no sympathy from me and I don't think it's accurate to say he was being censored. But I think he was released about a year later. |
While I agree he did wrong in violating his probation, let's be honest here, he was made a spectacle and scapegoat by the Obama administration. While I'm not sure if he would have gotten 1 full year plus four extra years probation under normal circumstances (I've heard lawyers debating that he wouldn't), but I 100% know they wouldn't have made his arrest the big media event, with about a dozen or so cops, that they did.
