Comment He's clearly a scapegoat (Score 1) 714

They just don't want this bullying to continue and are making an extreme example of him. It's national news so the punishment has to be harsh. However, even though what he did was horrible, a punishment shouldn't be completely decided on what the victim does after the fact. If I call someone a moron, and then they go shoot up a school, am I liable for that because of my "hate crime" and do I get punished according to what the victim does? I think this case will set a new precedent on what you can be punished for.
