Aaron Swartz didn't kill himself.

so fucking sad. he got rung up on a bullshit technicality. broke my heart when i read about how his lawyers were begging the prosecution to tone down the bombast rhetoric and shock-and-awe proposed sentences because it was severely affecting his mental health. and yeah

Behind the Bastards did a two part Christmas Hero episode this past December on Aaron Swartz. Thought it was worth a listen for anyone that wants to learn more about him.
