On the one hand, the boy who committed suicide clearly had some underlying issues. If some bitch at the grocery store snarks, "Move out of the way, fattie," I don't think she should be held fully responsible if that happens to be the last straw for the overweight person and they decide to kill themselves. On the other hand, true bullying is of course completely unacceptable, and I didn't follow the case closely enough to find out if this was an isolated prank or a culmination of bullying behavior, a lot of which depends on what the roommate did with the video footage after he had it.
What I did read, though, is that at no point did the roommate show the slightest remorse at what had happened, and that he is now vigorously appealing his slap-on-the-wrist sentence. So fuck him. His character has shown through, and I because of that I say he deserves a longer sentence.
