I saw the story as well. Trolls are whiny little attention whores w/ sad pathetic excuses for lives. Mangy bottom feeders if you ask me.

That...dude with the mole said it. "This is just adding to the fires." You sure did, didn't you? You went and fed the trolls.
No matter, though. Until the companies backing internet chat and such are required to track IPs and ping the results to feds, there will be no cure.
Don't kid yourself, NBC; this is nothing new.
More accurately, trolls are the annoying little buggers who define the internet. The rules are based on their actions...almost exclusively.Aerodynamic said:

Total losers, thats what those people are that posted that stuff about those kids. They don't have the balls to say anything to anybody when its face-to-face so they hide behind a monitor and spew their crap. DEATH TO THE TROLLS!!!
Ok, first of all, "new?"
Second of all, who let /b/ out?
Thirdly, obvious troll is obvious. If they're acting like a jerk, just ignore, and hope they die. That's probably the only way to combat trolling, without involving actual combat. But really, even for trolls, this is taking it too far. Can we just round them all up, along with the hackers, cheaters, and virus creators, and draw and quarter the lot of them?

Well this is simply one more reason for me to despite humanity in general. Maybe she did some things that people didn't like, maybe she did engage in acts not becoming of a young lady, but is this any valid reason to harp on her already grieving family? No, but because people find it funny it will happen. I wish that I could just take half of humanity and kill those most dear to them, half dead to teach a harsh lesson, half alive to live for them and create a better future knowing the pain of loss.
P.S. I maintain this comes back to parents not doing a proper job. A child must have structure on the basis of a rewards and punishment, not to mention proper conditioning. This however is in direct relation with the fact many parents now a days didn't want their kids to begin with, and therefore do a lack luster job as parents who skip steps 2 and 3 and keep with the rewards to keep the child off their hands so they can continue to live their carefree, almost childlike lives (see recent sociological studies which give compelling arguments. If you find them, don't lie and say you can't think of at least 3 people who are like that).

Let's see what the troll population is then!

That video gives me mixed feelings. I pity the family for their loss, and I laugh a bit inside of me when I hear the word "troll" or "trolling" said on the news.
I'm no technician, but can't you just ban their IP globally from the sites if they say such stupid things?
(For instance, we got a good system here at the Escapist... I think)
Maybe the wounds hurt, but at least now you put some bandage over the wound. Now it'll stop bleeding.

This kind of thing tears me up. I can deal with trolling online, but keep it here, where people can just block you. When it starts affecting people offline, it's gone too far. And why the hell can't people respect the dead? They're gone. They can't retort or defend themselves. Attacking them and the ones they left behind is one of the lowliest things you can do.
Its a cruel world out there! There are people retrieving pleasure from basicly anything you can imagine to be possibly made. These guys are among the lowest scum of society, and it makes me explode in rage. But I feel powerless to do anything, except for blocking them when they show up posting on any thread.zana bonanza said:
Anonymity gives cowards a voice they would otherwise be denied and the attention they evidently crave in an otherwise devoid life.
As far as I am concerned they are filth and confirm my opinion that the human race is mostly shit. May their lives be filled with pain and tribulation, a curse on all their houses.

Well I'm not shocked to be honest. It's been happening for many years now, heck every teen death caused by a car accident in Australia is a flame bait to trolls to go "SERVES THE SLUT RIGHT FOR DRIVING DRUNK!" "MAYBE IF HE DROPPED THE DRUGS AND STOPPED ACTING LIKE A DICK..." etc. I'd say on average twice a month it gets mentioned on the news.
Oh, and yeah it's just plain pathetic.
