'Troll' sentenced for post death messages

Post Reply New Topic

If he was just talking crap on a internet forum or comment section of a online newspaper, that would have been rude but should be legal. However, deliberately directing such comments towards family and friends is harassment and he will be subject to the judgment of the local authorities for that one.

That is so sick, what he did. I remember reading about what he did right after she died.

Way to give Aspies a bad name, Duffy...

Dear Tequila and ooOoOAnaOoOoOoo, I am not arguing with your viewpoints, but I don't perceive his actions as insults. If I were to write, in a discussion room like this that '.....' was a coward to take her own life rather than stand up to bullies, that is opinion, and the word 'coward' is a judgement and an insult. Creating an image of a train with her face on the front of it is ridiculing the manner of her death, making a joke of it, actually, and is designed to cause further suffering for those who loved her. To clarify my own feelings, having known 2 people who ended their own lives, no one sees all of someone else's pain, to judge a suicide, condemn the person for his/her action, is a lack of compassion. What this man did was deliberate and cruel..I consider his actions to be harassment of the dead girl's families, and that Aspergers had absolutely nothing to do with it. Sylkat.

aspies typically know right from wrong, do critical thinking and honestly try to fit in. I've seen people act like bullies, because they think that makes them fit in, but he's the only one doing these horrid things. He's on his own. And like I said here, we typically work on the natural law of "if something's wrong we try to fix it." We're logical thinkers. Some more than others. This trait seems lost from him and is a big part of what makes an aspie an aspie, so I can only conclude that the label of him being an aspie is nothing, but a lie.

I've read the page twice and no-where does it say he was using the aspergers card. Sure someone used it for him, but it's still not a valid excuse.

Aspergers doesn't make people douchebags, they get that way themselves. There's a line between trolling and being an A-hole, and simple common sense stops most people from crossing that line.

The trolls who troll chris-chan (who's father died recently) don't cross this line. I looked at his LBP2 profile the other day, and there where a number of trolls, giving him messages saying things like 'sorry for your loss' and stuff like that. Trolling's supposed to poke fun at people to make them mad, not traumatise them.

So in conclusion, Aspergers isn't an excuse to be a douche and theres a difference between trolling and cyberbullying.

Hi, everyone, I had written on this topic, but despite my verbosity and obvious annoyance with this abuser, I think I didn't clarify my viewpoint. First, does he really have Asperger's? His lawyer says so, but was he ever tested and formally, legally diagnosed? Using a claimed neurological disorder to lighten or dismiss a client's sentence is a very well-used method by American attorneys. Secondly, and more important to all of us, I see NOTHING in his attacks that have anything to do with Asperger's behavior. I do thank Jeffrey228 for clarifying that High Functioning Autistics can become paranoid. Paranoia is fear, suspicion, anxiety..none of these families or their dead children knew (or knew of) this person, never spoke to him, never sent Internet messages to him, there was no fear that he was acting upon; he wasn't 'getting back at' anyone. He sought out grieving families and exacerbated their pain. To reiterate, this has nothing to do with Asperger's or Autistic behavior; his lawyer says he has Aspergers, which we don't know, and the media has presented him as a person with Asperger's who did this,therefore implying that he did this BECAUSE of having Asperger's. Why ever he did this, he's paying, the families are still in pain, and the public, once again, has been misinformed. And, once again, I am annoyed. Sylkatv
