He had serious mental problems leading into this incident which is why he made the decision to off himself.

How do you know this? You seem to be blaming the victim - suicide especially in young males is often a very impulsive act an unfortunately they are more successful usually than females in killing themselves first attempt. I'm sure the trial of these two Rutgers students will reveal if he had any previous issues but it's still not an excuse.

You are on a politically correct witch hunt...good luck with the mob.

Do you regularly blame the people around people who kill themselves for the death? For example, a teen gay boy who has a major conflict with his dad and some students and teachers at school before he offs himself - do you blame his father, classmates and teachers for the kid’s suicide and demand they all be prosecuted for the death? Suppose it is a politically incorrect soldier returning from the war who kills himself. Do you want an inquest to examine who may have made him off himself by being mean to him? Was it maybe his wife’s fault for leaving him and saying mean things before she did?

Who is the victim of someone who kills themselves? The person who did the killing is the murderer and the person murdered is the victim. So in the case of suicide, you do blame the victim for the death. Your emotionalism in this case is biased and immature in my opinion. I think you are caught up in a politically correct mob mentality. While what the students did was cruel, their actions can not be blamed for the mental illness that prompted suicide.
