Remember face-smashing to torture to calling for the death penalty.
All because a few kids killed a cat. I have a confession. I killed a cat once. With my car. Though I didn't really mean to. Nobody arrested me for it.
Admittedly, the youths' action is quite a bit more disturbing, but if we don't torture terrorists then we probably shouldn't torture teenagers for nuking a cat. Likely the angry comments made were made from the distant safety of a computer desk, the screen thus the window of protection for anything you want to say or vent about.
But still. Talk about a situation that could get out of hand. It's no wonder the cops forced the information down. The person who posted the identifying information could possibly face legal ramifications as well, since he or she violated Canadian law.
This brings up a much larger issue, though. When the each member of the public has his very own broadcast medium, is he truly prepared to wield it? If the crowd is really wise (something I doubt) it also very dangerous.
