Reading between the lines of this article and from what I've gathered from other articles on the case, there were more texts encouraging the deceased to commit suicide than just the one listed in the article.
This kid was in the act of committing suicide (in the act is different than saying something at a random time) and she told him to go get back in the car. IMO, that crosses the line from bullying to intent.
you must know him well...
Sure you can. There are any number of scenarios that woykd fit the definition of manslaughter. And there are any number that wouldn't. We don't know 2% of the facts, let alone enough to proclaim this a crime or not. On it's face, there sure looks like probable cause based on the very limited information we have. Undoubtedly the DA has far more information than we have. Undoubtedly ore information will be learned as the case is prosecuted. Like I said, no way to predict what a jury will do with all the facts, but no way any self-respecting DA wouldn't charge someone who apparently walked someone through the suicide process.
Bull####. Rape is an action. And usually there's physical evidence of that action. And usually there's a victim testifying about that action.
No chance that she didn't think he was actually in the process of doing it? Seems plausible that the guy has been saying he was going to do it for a while now and she thought he was BSing.
Fair point, but it doesn't change the fact that when an individual acts, the action is his responsibility alone.
She's guilty of being a horrible human being.
By this reasoning Manson shouldn't be in jail and Hitler never killed six million Jews.
This may be true to a point. But there can be more than one person responsible for an outcome. Also, it's not like she was dealing with someone who was thinking calmly and rationally. All indications are she knew it. At some point doesn't the encourager have some responsibility if that encouragement pushed the recipient from "I'm thinking about suicide" to actually doing it? I can envision a lot of scenarios in which that is the case and a lot in which it isn't.
That's your reasoning, not mine. I don't see this is the same thing.
Possibly, but from my experience the DA's office only charges cases they believe they can win or cases which they felt considerable outside pressure to charge (like the Trayvon Martin case.) I'm not sure how much the DA's office factors in intent to shame. Though this girl deserves all the shame coming to her.
I think it depends on if they give themselves consent to #### themselves first.
Now imagine he gets back in his truck, decides to begin life anew and focus his time on curing cancer and bringing about a second Fappening, and gets hit and killed by the drunk driver you let go.
You do realize in the history of the internet, a Hitler analogy has never won an arguement.
If this is true, I am all ears. However, as posed above, this partKoya said:
doesn't pass the smell test with me. The individual committed suicide. That's a messed up individual IMO. There was way more to this than just the texts. I don't see how the prosecution gets what they want out of it.
My drunken wife, sleeping 2 year old, and myself we're going to make a citizens arrest on the Belt Parkway? Even had I called the police, they prob wouldn't have caught up with this car anyways.PatsWillWin said:
