Internet troll gets 4 and a half months in jail.

Nowdays the things are getting too difficult for parenting. You can see your child ok but in the inside the kid has her head lost in cyberspace.

Oh cruel world why bullies exist. The world's horrible state of economy is to blame, with the high rate of unemployment people don't have something to get distracted and no money to get out. So they have no choice to mess up in the internet when they get bored to get a variation.

Bullies have existed way before the internet. :?

that is bull, freedom of speech, UK has none it seems weezyfb

Ugh... Everytime I see the word troll I think of that trololol song... It is stuck in my head now. Now I gotta work out while that song playing in my head.

What a terrible person. And don't say he did it because he had a asbergers or however it's spelled because a kid I went to school with had that and he was always really nice.

I am sorry but having a memorial on an open forum is inviting trouble.

This is pretty horrible, but there should not be any legal action taken. The internet is one of the few bastions left of anonymity and near-unconditional free speech, we need to keep it that way, despite the negatives.

"where internet users deliberately leave abusive and bullying comments on networking sites." Thats not even close to the definition of trolling.

edit: This only makes me wonder how the WBC gets away with what they do. This guy just trashes a memorial page on a website and they go to actual funerals and protest. I would think what the WBC does is way worse than what this guy did.

We cherish these apparent freedoms, but sometimes I wonder why, especially now the world has changed with the advent of the internet. We think we deserve it, down playing any negative becuase it's our given right to express ourselves regardless of who we offend or damage we may cause. Does it make us happier? Better? More fullfilled because of this freedom? I'm not sure it does. Just because we can we think we should and we deserve it

Basically we're the same creatures that walked the earth 500 years ago, but I think sometimes we're not designed to accomadate such rapid societal and technical advancement, or at least haven't had time to adapt. Anyway I'm tangenting. Just saying that total freedom of speech combined with the capabilities of the internet perhaps should be scrutinised a little, managed a little better and not simply placed on a pedastal as an untouchable intrinsic right.

Just reminds me of a random snotty gamefaqs poster in all seriousness.

On another note those of you talking about freedom of speech need to give it a rest; there is no such thing in any nation, anywhere around the world.

I agree. 90% of human beings lack the necessary discipline or self control for such freedom.

Don't feel sorry for him. That was downright rude and sick.
