I wouldn't call this guy a troll, he seems like more of an idiot.

Can't believe dude actually went to jail for this. It's not like he did any physical harm, just emotional. Sure it was wrong but to go as far as to jail him seems a little fucked up in my opinion. The system is trying to take away your right of freedom of speech on the internet as well. He was within his legal rights to do that, why he would want to is another question. Seems a bit un-constitutional.

Edit: Just saw that this was in the UK. Guess they don't have rights over there.

Would you think differently if he had done something like that in "real life" though? Words can be hurtful either way, doesnt really matter how they are delivered.

He's a dbag but didn't deserve to go to jail. Same with the imbeciles who raided a WoW funeral years ago

Deal with it, the world is a rough place, people.

He did what many people think anyway. If I saw a Facebook tribute page for a suicide "victim", I'd eyeroll. Keep your tragedies to yourself, people. I don't condone that he did in the slightest by the way, I also don't condone smoking but people should be allowed to be stupid.


The US does a lot of stuff wrong, including putting people in jail for petty bullshit like selling weed, but thankfully they don't put folks in jail for hurting people's feelings. (Well I'm sure they do sometimes but yeah...)

Britain doesn't do the right thing, it's wasting taxpayer money with bullshit.

Wait, what? You're acting like the facebook page is some persistent telemarketer telling you to be sad for the girl or it's spamming ads at you. You can decide to click on the page or not, if you even knew about it in the first place. Facebook is a social network and people tend to have a lot more international friends or keep in touch with friends that have gone internationally. A memorial page on facebook would make sense then in a day and age of instant communication and online social networking. Rather than demanding people resort to snail mail or travel in person to offer condolences. It's just a way of people expressing their grief and for that reason they are a dumb group target. (Just like those Westboro crazies at military funerals.)

jailtime is too much imo... What if I leave my computer on and my roommate walks over and writes random stuff? I also have a few friend's facebook login... Does that mean I can put them in jail? o_O

That is the thing, Facebook is a Social Network. It is not an exclusive social club where only people with your public opinions and social etiquette are allowed. If you make a public group on Facebook then there will be people with different opinions, thoughts, beliefs, etiquette and personalities. Just because one person's etiquette is polar opposite to the majority it doesn't take away from the fact that this was a public Facebook group where ANYONE can voice their opinion. Throwing him in jail for being an asshole shouldn't be how things are handled.




This has me curious, what is the process if I leave my computer on and someone uses my computer to search for things like how to make bombs / kill people, posts hoax terrorist threats on social networks or downloads/distributes kiddie porn? Does the owner of the computer get prosecuted? How do you prove if it was / wasn't you at the computer at the time these things were searched?

They would probably prosecute the owner of the computer where these illegal acts occurred or else it would give everyone on the internet carte blanche to say "well, that wasn't me at the computer".
