Interview With Reddit Troll, ‘Violentacrez’, On Anderson Cooper

Notorious smut peddler, "Violentacrez", gave his first Interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper last night. After being outed by Gawker last week, the 49-year-old softspoken software engineer has lost his job and rekindled a fierce debate over the limits of free speech. "I am to some degree apologizing for what I did," said Michael Brutsch, "Violentacrez is what I did in my spare time to unwind from my 10-hour-a-day job. That’s how I relaxed in the evening. I no longer need to relax in the evening, because I no longer have a job."
