Wow, the video is not what I expected after seeing the photograph. He looks like a kid walking past a dark window making faces at his reflection.

well, he is a kid walking past a dark window making faces at his reflection. it's just the dark window is a camera housing and he's walking past because he's been pacing back and forth alone in a holding cell for hours

Exactly. I'm surprised that the monstrous act he is being tried for is not what makes him a monster, but the common and cliche act of teenage defiance. His gesture wasn't an act of defiance, but boredom. Does the news just need something new to get up in arms about or do people need this to further justify the punishment? What about the BOMB? Really interesting article.
