I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. Bullying and harassment is a part of life. Man up.
Doesn't this affect his rights of freedom of speech, or freedom of own opinion? What the hell is this? Man, I think the whole staff of The Daily Mail and The Sun should just flee now because you know, they never post anything with the malicious intention to harm someone, it's just news.
No. Cyber bullying, is quite a serious thing these days. What's worse it, at times you don't even know who it is. Kids are mainly affected by it. And now we're in the Facebook age, it's even worse.
Indirect harassment is the most worse imo. You can never tell if someone is harassing you, but you have a feeling they are. Cue Paranoia.
He deserves what he got, doing what he did on purpose is totally different to sharing a opinion.
