For some reason, why doesn't it surprise me that the troll has issues regarding alcohol and problems with socialising? I mean yes I do feel bad that he has asperger's syndrome but I have trouble showing sympathy to someone who enjoys seeing others suffer, even if its mentally. I guess it goes back to the idea of resorting to trolling and making someone else miserable because you yourself are miserable. And I do agree that the real bullies that caused her to commit suicide needed to be apprehended even moreso than this guy, but atleast this should send a clear message to those who take sick pleasure in causing others suffering. |
They should determine whether Asperger syndrome let him understand well enough that what he was doing was wrong, if his ability to understand that is crippled, they should cure him. Obviously the cure should be mandatory, he couldn't refuse it, as, willing and conscious or not, he's harming other people, and he should be allowed to access the net again only after he completes rehab for alcoholism and if he carefully gets the psychiatric support he needs for all the time he needs it, even lifetime. If he was partially aware of what he was doing, he should receive mandatory treatment and, if the penalty appliable to what he did, considering the mitigating factors, still exceeds the period of mandatory treatment, a period of mandatory socially useful work, while continuing treatment.
But punishing just him sends at least two horribly wrong signals: that justice is happy to catch and punish the first poor turd it can, just to make public opinion and the victims or their relatives happy, and after that it doesn't care anymore, and that the rich can get away with crime.
