Yes but by that argument the girlfriend who breaks up with the suicidal boyfriend risks getting charged with murder. Sorry, but people have to take responsibility for their own actions at some point. Yes joking about suicide is an asshole thing to do, and I think the people in the chatroom who were joking about it are assholes (And I do think they were joking - I don't think anyone seriously believed he was going to do it). However, being an asshole does not automatically make you guilty of a crime. This guy made the decision to hang himself. The responsibility for that rests squarely on his shoulders.
