Court transcripts weren’t particularly flattering: “I had no idea what was in those tweets until about a month ago,” confessed the defense. “If you really want to get into it—”

The judge interrupted the scrambling attorney: “Not really, nor are you doing any service to your client.”41

The Jerk pled guilty to disorderly conduct.

To the average person, live-tweeting illegal activity in full admission that it is illegal may have looked like a boneheaded move—one tends not to announce they are breaking the law unless they hope to be arrested and possibly prosecuted for it. I’m no mind reader, but the Jerk managed a PR pivot from Occupy prankster to civil rights poster child, and eventually to spokesman for his generation—literally. His first book was a sort of political economy of millennials, which comes to this conclusion (according to the marketing copy):

We are the most educated and hardworking generation in American history. We poured historic and insane amounts of time and money into preparing ourselves for the twenty-first-century labor market. We have been taught to consider working for free (homework, internships) a privilege for our own benefit. We are poorer, more medicated, and more precariously employed than our parents, grandparents, even our great grandparents, with less of a social safety net to boot.42
