I actually find this very interesting. While reading it I first thought "this is ridiculous - advocating suicide is a freedom of speech". But then I got down to read specifically what he had done:
> ...was obsessed with suicide and hanging and sought out potential victims online. When he found them, prosecutors said, he posed as a female nurse, feigned compassion and offered step-by-step instructions on how they could kill themselves. Melchert-Dinkel told police he did it for the "thrill of the chase." He acknowledged participating in online chats about suicide with up to 20 people and entering into fake suicide pacts with about 10 people, five of whom he believed killed themselves.
That's pretty creepy shit right there. I am pro-euthenasia, but to do so out of a morbid fascination of watching people die, as oposed to being in the best interests of the person is... well... alarming.
I do wonder about what precedent this might set though. Who knows if one day any random /b/tard might get in trouble for simply saying "Do it faggot".
