And now that he has criminal record, he'll never be able to get a normal job.

Congratulations Rig, you've just ruined some kid's life.

Not really, he's still in a position where he's young enough to turn it around.

Citric, I don't think a bit of gasoline could kill someone...It's not like sirtom was experienced or anything.

Did he have a tough childhood or something?

He's moderating real life, the apocalypse is coming. Soon our thoughts will be deleted and we'll be banned from talking for small periods of time after causing minor scuffles and crimes.

Even if he did go just to show off and scare the people who kept bullying him, didn't he also bring a knife
or something?

He was bullied and didn't handle it well. He probably had other issues, but from my contact with him he definitely is not "sane" and from what I know from others "close" to him, this wasn't some spur of the moment shit, he has wanted to hurt people for a long time, it just so happens he actually snapped and tried to do it.

Tom is (or was, maybe he's been "cured"?) mentally ill and he needed help, Rig (and deckheadtottie) did not "ruin his life": he "ruined" it himself.

Wow, the bullying must've been pretty intense then. I've actually read somewhere that he called some dude (was it you?) and asked him to check the local prisons to see if he could escape.

This should be the series finale of Law and Order.

Oh shit lol. Must've been pretty weird for you. He probably has some trippy hallucinations.

I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but in Canada, when you turn 18, your criminal record is automatically erased. With that said, I don't know if that applies to serious crimes like murder threats...

After 5 years it is removed so in 5 years time it wont come up when they are looking through his stuff for jobs.

While part of me kinda does want to know what happens to him, part of me feels like we've heckled him for the better part of last year and we should find something else to fixate on.

Yeah I need to agree here, hopefully the kid will be able to put this shit behind him.
Frankly speaking though I think the newgrounds community will be watching him like flies on cow pies.

The one thing I've been noticing though is there seems to be a general feeling of maliase occurring in the youth today, I'm not sure why though since we have access to so much.

Lastly I don't feel Rig ruined this kids life, people need to take responsibility for their own actions, if Tom
was being bullied he could have moved, or if he seriously wanted revenge he could do what I do when I need to get back at someone, hire a private investigator and hand off any incriminating evidence to the police.

Or sue for possible slander/harassment?
Anyway had Rig not contacted the police, Tom could have killed, or hurt alot of people...

He pleaded guilty. There will be nothing for another eight weeks, so that the doctors can do a full recommendation for the courts based on his psyche. I'll unlock this thread when I get more news, so that this doesn't turn into a big blamefest.
