I am disturbed by this outcome.
On the one hand, she definitely deserves to suffer in some fashion for her actions. Civilly perhaps, or something. But criminally? What do decisions like this do to the Law in the long run? Are there Freedom of Speech issues here? Is this the kind of case that proponents of hate speech laws can cite as justification?
On the other hand, the boy’s suicide was due to his own hand. He is/was responsible for his own actions.
I don’t know. Something seems off about this but I can’t really put my finger on why. I just have an overall sense that this doesn’t bode well in some way.

I agree.
I had a drunken relative who often called saying he was going to jump off a bridge and kill himself.
I got so weary of it I would just tell him to go ahead and jump.
He never did,but if he had would I have been blamed?
A VERY slippery slope.
