I think a little jail time would be appropriate. His intention was to worsen racial tension for his personal aggrandizement. He did it hoping his semi-celebrity status would be enough to make the incident, and himself, a national story; and he succeeded. He also sucked the steam out of legitimate racial beefs, perjured himself and treated the whole country as a huge slow-witted imbecile.
A month in the Cook County jail seems about right.
