I see him either as a troll who is trying to expose misogynists or as a migosygnist himself.
I actually think the former might be more likely why it is a little strange to me why people come to his defense so readily.
Maybe this guy is a self-loathing masochist. I don't know for certain.
For the record, I don't think prison sentences are appropriate for verbal abuse. I think there are better options available.
It's a little hard to defend this guy. I don't want him in prison, but I don't hae a problem with his twitter account being suspended.
