      They’re stupid, but also dangerously influential. They’re important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

      Definitely news. This also sends a message to other people trying to mimic them.

      Plus it’s not only news. It’s good news.

      I had never heard of this dude before he was arrested. But do you know who had? My thirteen year old daughter. I’m cool with the current turn of events.

      While I agree and also complain about this, I draw the exception at reporting when justice is being served. Good god, what a way to start the day!
