Total sicko but I have no respect for the girl who killed herself because of his comments
You can't let people get to you like that, there a lot of people like this jerk or worse! :(


lol yeah no kidding eh? I read the comments it said she received (in the BBC article) and they weren't even that bad. If she offed herself that quickly what would she have done when she was older and got fired from her job or something?

Not be a teenage girl and less emotional thinking she is being singled out and bullied for no reason, whether comments are bad they still are done with malice and can be emotionally scaring. Show some respect.

Hmm, pie.

Makes sense under harassment laws, though that does seem a little steep

I agree he deserves to have his ass beaten, but jail time? Seems a waste. 

She's just weak skinned. If she killed herself after a couple anonymous insults then yeah its sad, but whatever. Look at the massive abuse Rebecca Black took for her music! She got death threats, massive insults, hate, etc. I don't like her songs but I respect her strength to deal with it and ignore the hate.

there are laws against harassment. it doesnt matter if it is in person, over the phone, or sent online.

he should have been banned from social networks for life, he's a pathetic little creature


Sign me up for the ban.  Social network sites are pretty lame if you ask me (which is why I deleted all my accounts).  If anything he should have been made to do community service.  Where are you going to draw the line to what is a jailable offensive remark?  Humans are turning into big pussies and social networks are allowing them to become even more pussified.  If you kill yourself because of someone talking shit to you over the internet that you don't even know then you are pretty lame.  It is time to realize that humans can be nice and they can be shit.  You just gotta sift through the shit to find the good ones.  Too bad teenagers overreact to everything (aka thinking high school is the whole fucking world).

So you're calling the victims of bullying 'lame'? And none of those kids killed themselves because they were bullied online by people they didn't know. This guy was spweing nasty remarks about them on sites dedicated to their memory, which constitutes as harassment. It's no different than writing obscenities on someone's grave.

Complete jerk, but doesn't this go against our supposed right for free speech?

Harassment isn't protected by free speech laws.

On the one hand, clearly this guy sucks.

On the other hand, this is yet another scary ass reason I wouldn't want to live in the UK.

It's quite literally the government tracking you down and locking you up in jail for something you said on the internet.

For why this happened, and also an opinion on why it shouldn't....

Considering the writer of that article, his opinion doesn't deserve much attention.
