Even though the victim left a note pointing fingers at those who tormented him or failed to help him, there seems to be a lot of different opinions as to who's to blame for this tragedy.

Some would agree with the content of the note, and their righteous anger towards those darn kids and lazy teachers lead to some 2edgy4me comments about what kind of totally fair and reasonable punishment they'd like to see inflicted to those monsters, you can find them peppered all over the comments. Some creative stuff her and there !

But wouldn't that be too easy and convenient ? Others got to the bottom of the issue and came up with interesting alternatives. A popular scapegoat is the parents of the dead kid, those fucking negligent pieces of shit. Because it's not enough to see your kid kill himself after being mercilessly tormented you should also be blamed for it by armchair lawyers/psychologists/philosophers/whatever the fuck they think they are/redditors who really know jack shit about what you did/tried to do/knew about the situation. Because really, if your kid is affected by bullying it's your fault for being genetically inferior and loving your child too much. Why didn't you make him miserable to teach him about how life is rough and nobody gives a fuck about you ? Also the bully's parents are better educator because their kids are still alive. Trust me it totally makes sense. I mean come on, what a shitty dad ! Couldn't he read his son's mind and sense he was about to off himself ? Couldn't he just move his entire family somewhere else in order to ge him to another school, hoping the same shit wouldn't happen and teaching his son the valuable lesson that whenever shit gets rough in life, don't ask for help or protection because it's not gonna happen, just give up on your life and flee.

What an interesting theory. But it's missing one very important detail: Who caused the kid's death ultimetaly ? Himself of course ! Sure, those bullies made his life hell, but hey he could have just NOT killed himself, it's not fucking hard right ? This guy got bullied and survived and multiple others come say the same thing. Clearly that means bullying is never that big of a deal. What a weak ass bitch ! Just fight back and the bullying will stop ! (Except he did that, and it didn't stop. But what are facts really ?) And if it doesn't stop and you kill yourself, well apparently it's better that way. Now that's some edge.

Again some very creative ways to blame someone. But all these accusations are petty bullshit in the end, focusing on trivialities like "justice" or "circlejerking about whatever group you don't like" (kids, bullies, millenials, parents, teachers...) when you could totally use this tragedy to take on the real bad guy : catholic schools ! And another. Because it wouldn't be reddit without DAE RELIGION SUCKS AND PRIESTS ARE PEDOS ?!

But this shitshow doesn't end with suicide and bullying, there is more ! Some brave animal rights defender wasn't very moved by the tearful father's plea, distracted by the real tragedy going on in the video : He totally KICKED THAT POOR DOG JUST BECAUSE HE BARKED WHAT A MONSTER ! it clearly undeniably $100% happened even though you can't actually see the dog, the father's foot, leg or even lower body, and the dog doesn't even make a sound. But hey it's not entirely impossible, so that guy is a massive cunt and everyone is glad his son died, we don't want such a degenerate to breed.

I had a lot of fun reading this one, but I'd like to hear some more theories. So, r/drama, who do you think is to blame ? Were you swayed by any of these geniuses in the comments ? What should be done about bullying ? Am I retarded for putting this much effort into my shitpost ? I'm new here I want to make a good first impression, please no bullying.

Personally I think fighting back is the right choice, but no half measures. Violence is obviously always the best answer so go full columbine on these kids ! Ever heard of a school-shooter being bullied afterwards ? Didn't think so. School-shooters 1 - Obama 0
