No, I don’t think so.
The person who committed the crime knew what he was doing the entire time, and stated so, and wrote about his intent towards his victim.
How the victim behaved in this scenario isn’t relevant, because whether or not a victim of a crime is stupid or not does not give anyone the right to commit a malicious crime against him.
This is what the man said-
“According to a criminal complaint, messages sent from Rivello’s Twitter account mentioned Eichenwald, saying “I know he has epilepsy,” “I hope this sends him into a seizure” and “let’s see if he dies.”
And that makes this very clearly a crime.
But go ahead and tell me how it’s not. because the victim is a lib or a dummy, I’d be fascinated to read your reasoning. Really.
1st I wasn’t responding to you and 2nd in your zest to be combative I was pointing out that IMO sending peanuts or strobes with the intent to inflict bodily harm or death is wrong
