^My point is that just because the simple man believing shooting a man in the head will not kill him doesn’t fly in court, because ignorance of the crime is no excuse, neither should this. While these two didn’t use a gun to kill Tyler, they recorded him in an intimate moment with the intent to cause humiliation, suffering, and shame. It’s true they didn’t use a gun, but they still metaphorically shot him in the head while believing that it would have no fatal consequences. Their ignorance of the potential ramifications of their actions is NO excuse.

My SECOND point, pursuant to the first, was that BECAUSE it’s no excuse, “a few months” as someone posted above, or even “a few years” as they corrected themselves with after I called them on it, is not severe enough punishment for the taking of a life.
