I say 3 months in jail and then 1-3 years in rehab/some sort of institution for his mental condition. | ||

If someone were to find his actions appalling but also darkly and sadisticly humourous (I mean OP reposting the youtube video only gives it more prominence...) and make a post expressing such feelings possibly including an "lol", would they be penalized for it? definitely. You have to abide by the public sense of morals here, and they will play by that book, regardless of their personal feelings whether its funny or not. | ||

Perhaps that law doesn't protect people that produce terrible music. this is a win post, regardless of the fact RB didnt kill herself over it. guess some are tougher than others with criticism, or have been well taught to ignore a very human trait of schadenfreude. I agree that what he did is terrible. I also agree that it goes on every day. I think that its an inherent part of human nature to seek the feeling of powerfulness. Nietzche "Human All too human", is a good book describing this method of "so called 'evil' actions" and why they're done. The bigger picture says the is an inherent trait of humans. But he still did something terrible and needs t orecompense for it in some way. jailtime will not help anyone, and will make him worse. Something he can do actively for the family and then the community, now that would help everyone. | ||

I say 3 months in jail and then 1-3 years in rehab/some sort of institution for his mental condition. Personally I think the ban from social networks and netphones is a better choice, cost wise and in terms of trying to actually solve the situation of someone who clearly thought he could abuse the anonymity of the internet. I argue this because I find that, based on the degree I'm assuming this guy commits to the internet rather then real life, by spending less time on facebook he can regain his sense of empathy for others by interacting in a world with people he can physically see and and speak with. | ||

Or are you speaking in the generalized sense, as if it were to happen in your own country? | ||

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.

At least Britain does the right thing. 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. | ||

One one occasion he was confronted about similar behavior and his lawyer said something along the lines of him not being aware of the actions he was making because he has a social disorder. Then he later goes on to say that the offender himself was bullied as a child. Like what the fuck?!?!?!? Honestly, there's only a few possible scenarios. First, he was bullied and didn't mind it or enjoyed it cause he's so fucked in the head and can't tell the difference between what makes people feel good and what makes them feel miserable. In order for you to be subject to abuse and suffer from it, you have to be aware that abuse = suffering, so that's not a valid argument on the lawyer's part. Secondly, and more likely, he and the lawyer are full of shit. He's just a disturbed fuck who takes his lack of social skills and tries to glean attention by being a dick in the worst way possible. Seriously, even deezer wouldn't cross this line. | ||

Not saying it wouldn't happen in the U.S. as well and that your point wouldn't hold, but this didn't happen in the U.S. And the protest does have to take place a minimum distance from the funeral, they cannot actively protest AT the funeral, although the distance is so incredibly small (I believe they're working on extending the distance?). | ||

The USA is the only country that truly has freedom of speech, everyone else pretends to, while the rest of the world doesn't even make any pretense. lolol, you cant even say "fuck" on TV in your country, I know its not exactly the same topic and the legislative might be better in some states of the US, but in Germany people dont sue shit over anything unless its dead serious so theres really no problem. Americans overall are definitely way more sensitive about language. | ||

In real life where you can't always stop it when you want it's ok to give a small fine or smth, but FFS ONLINE where you don't HAVE to deal with someone unless you are a dick about it yourself... | ||
