i think u're missing the point that there's difference between trolling (as it's done on the celebrities every day as you mentioned) and tormenting a family who just lost a loved one.

Regarding facebook... depends on your privacy/security settings... many people don't even bother. You'd be surprised to know how many fully open profiles are out there.
36. Just because you're losing doesn't mean you are the best on your team, it means you are losing, too.

Google an_hero.


If privacy settings are the case, then the family only brought it on themselves.

Even still, the an_hero syndrome out there usually doesn't directly target or grief the family itself. As far as I know, they just do the ******ed comments on message boards and alike... totally different from sending that stuff to the family itself.

And if there's that many of them out there targetting the families, maybe something should be done.

I know for sure that if I had lost a loved one, I wouldn't like to receive that kind of spam and ****ty comments...

Trolling by contacting actual relatives of people who have died has got to be the most boring and dumb way to troll --.--

I found some parts of that case to be funny (he's called "an hero" for shooting his brains out), but the actual trolling was just dumb..

So when someone with a mental illness, that causes him to not understand the gravity of his actions, harasses someone over the internet, you send him to prison in order to punish him.

I don't think you understand WHY people are sent to prison, or how the brain works.

Also, the family DID open themselves to this by not changing their privacy settings.
Tri lane for life.

Kinda sucks that you open yourself to attack by allowing strangers who could potentially be friends of your deceased daughter to join the Facebook page you made for her.

My brother has Aspergers. He cannot associate his personal thoughts with any form of restraint...That means in any social situation, well any situation period. He will say what he wants without thought of recourse, it's not so much so that he cannot see a possibility of being reprimanded. He does see it, it is that he is unable to apply the situation to how he should speak or act. It's also legitimate argument as to WHY this man did what he did. He can't associate gravity of the situation with his interaction over the web. It's not air tight, but it does offer possible doubt....

(Leeched this from wikipedia. Enjoy the read and learn something)
Asperger syndrome or Asperger's syndrome or Asperger disorder (play /ˈɑːspərɡərz/[1] or /ˈæspərɡərz/[2]) is an autism spectrum disorder that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.

How I shot 'remove message and block'?

People don't realize that the easy way to stop a troll is to delete their messages and block em. If anything, the family is more ******ed for making an issue out of all this when the solution was just that simple. I think they were going for the attention and sympathy factor (maybe even to get a little bit of moolah out of it). Last I checked, facebook and youtube both have ways to block and remove unwanted messages and people from accounts. For the harassing videos, yes they can be removed. Does the guy deserve a locked account on youtube for it? Yes he does. Does he deserve to be thrown in jail for it? No. Why? OPINIONS.jpeg

For just one second, I would like you all to consider that said videos get made for celebrities every day along with infamous idiots on the internet (an_heroes and morons like Chris Chan). Should we not seek out and arrest every single one of those people for trolling? What about for people who make provocative pictures and statements about political figures around the world? If someone made a picture of their countries leader being shot in the head by someone, does that not qualify as them plotting to assassinate them? When you look at the big picture, the punishment was way too extreme for this man, especially since he has asperger syndrome. They honestly can't help but act inappropriate. If you ever met anyone with asperger syndrome, you'd know just how stupid and socially awkward they can make situations. Does that justify what he did? No. Should he have been punished for the way he was acting? Yes, but not to the extreme extents as the court gave him. I just think this whole situation was handled very poorly by the authorities. It's almost obvious that the court was packed with mindless bleed hearts that day.


Also, funny thing, people can only post on your facebook page if you have them added as a friend. The more you know. :)

inb4- Cyber police arrest me for making this statement.

tl;dr- The internet is flooded with insensitive an_hero videos made by heartless people. Deal with it. Giving them the attention is what they want anyways.


lol found this thread again somehow. Uh, anyways, almost exactly how I feel.

If I came off a bit harsh at first, iBrad, fair enough. I was not calling you a little ***** personally though, which you seem to have taken it as such.

Obviously what he did was wrong, let me get that out of the way first.

But even if he did something wrong, I don't particularly see a need to take it to court and make a big thing around it. Your only dishonoring your son/daughter if you let 1 stupid person ruin her/his memory for you.

I deal with idiots like this every day at a place called 'school'. It used to be that I was probably much like the family felt, depressed, frustrated that I couldn't do anything, etc. The only way to stop feeling like that is to grow yourself a harder skin. Laugh it off, ignore him, avoid reading what he says, etc. Delete his posts if you can.

And don't tell me i'm being an insensitive **** either, cause i've personally lost 3 brothers in the space of 1 year and still had people like him say stuff like that to me. Like I said, the only way to stop thinking about joining them is to harden your skin up and say F him, my daughter/son was a really good person and one day I will be reunited with her in Heaven.

tons of totally open profiles. many people i've seen i can read all their info and post on their wall with 0 friends in common. it's actually common for people who are famous (aka the president, celebrities) or people who are in the news or have people they don't know supporting them (aka relative comitted suicide, was murdered senslessly, ect.) so most of those people do have their facebook's open, and don't have the time to read all the posts, let alone block people.


nobody's going to really care if you troll on Lady Gaga's Facebook page. she'll just be glad she got another post. but greiving people... wow. you insesitive piece of ****. i'd shoot you myself.


and sure, he's got a mental problem. so do many murderers. but they still get punished. i don't care if you're "blind" as the example above stated. but if his "blindness" makes him steal 300 lunches trying to find his and he eats them all, he's getting in trouble.

Yes because harassing the family of a girl who commited suicide ( suicide the ultimate troll of them all tbh) warrants the death penalty for an autistic person with THE MENTAL INABILITY TO DISTINGUISH PROPER REACTIONS IN SOCIAL INTERACTION is judgement well served.

GTFO, jeez people are so up in arms over this. Get your ****ing facts straight.
1. Daughter killed herself, it's a selfish act. It's a weak act, the stronger road (not easier stronger) is to persevere. She ended her life, and for all we know her family was the cause of it.
2. Parents left the site open, assuming humanity cannot sink to a level so low is also their own damn fault.
3. Guy is autistic, so is my brother, autism often causes probelms with social interaction ON ANY LEVEL, and often coincides with repetative behavior. This guy "trolled" other families/relatives of dead people. In all honesty NOT SOMETHING HE HAS LEGITIMATE CONTROL OVER.



And murderers have a DIFFERENT set of disorders. Autism is not generally one of them. But split personalities/bipolar/demntia/skitsophrenia (can't spell it) THOSE are the mental disabilities of a murderer.

Get your facts straight you backward ****. "wow. you insesitive piece of ****. i'd shoot you myself." Words of an idiot who doesn't have an idea of the rammifications of **** like this. You don't have a gun you e-thug, you don't even have an air soft rifle. Prove me wrong if you want, but reading your comment, I'd punch you in the face if you ever said that to me irl, you're the insensative piece of ****.

My brother is like this man btw, he has Aspergers, which means he is unable to properly react (more or less it's very difficult for im) in social situations. He says what's on his mind regardless of setting. He cannot restrain his thought process nor formulate a "morally" restrained sentence. If he thinks you're a dumb *** piece of **** in the middle of a funeral, he'll scream it to the heavens. Tell you to your face. BECAUSE he can't control it.


Sorry for the outburst, but this "trolling" issue is being taken too far. I don't condone what this guy did, but going to COURT over it, is pure idiocy. The family should have ignored it, deleted it, protected themselves. Not had a man with a mental disability that directly affects his interaction with other people arrested for "trolling" their daughter who most likely killed herself because her parents had no ****ing clue what he life was like.

TELL ME PARENTS being unaware of their children's problems isn't a reoccuring theme in life and I'll drop the subject. (WE all ****ing know it is)
