I'd be strongly in favor of you publishing and publicizing the coward's email address. It's probably a temporary email, but still.

The judge in this case made it clear that the prosecution had no chance in this case, so I wasn't surprised at the outcome. A judge can do a LOT to influence a jury. This was a textbook example.

His parents were responsible for this mess. He was so indoctrinated with the far right cause, at 17, that he felt compelled to get a high capacity magazine weapon and cross state lines into a town/county he didn't know and take arms against social justice?

What kind of parent raises their kids that way? If he follows the typical teenage pattern, he'll eventually revolt against his parents and become an anti-gun advocate. It would serve the little boys in grown men bodies who think AR weapons are toys right.
