Chen seems to really dislike the way this guy uses the internet, and he used his own right to free speech to do something about it. No crime there, either. All free speech does is protect you from prosecution for expressing yourself; it doesn't protect jerkoffs from being outed as jerkoffs. Sure there a lot of consumers of r/jailbate, but this guy was the big fish, so of course he is a target. Consequences exist for actions; lesson learned for violentacrez. On a side note, its a shame that r/Hitler was adopted as an anti-semetic forum. It probably could be a really good history forum for WWII enthusiasts. For that alone I support outing this guy.
