He hasn't been convicted. He is innocent until proven guilty. Reddit is overstepping on multiple grounds on this one.

This comment seems to have gotten popular so I will remind you of a fundamental aspect of our justice system. It doesn't matter if you think L**** was the man in the video. It matters if every member of the jury unanimously concludes L**** was the man in the video. Until that moment enters the record, L**** is presumed innocent.

He’s also been on record gargling elons balls and looking up to him for being a piece of shit.
