I don't know if it's true but it appeared from what I read there were some folks trying to contact his employer. If that is indeed the case and the kids employment suffers in any way due to the clear harassment and intimidation caused by the thread starter then he has definite quantifiable damages and in the state of Washington punitive damages of up to 3 times his actual losses can be awarded.
I hope this case ends up being a lesson to folks who believe if THEY think something is un-ethical or immoral that then gives them the right to bully, harass, and intimidate other people.
If this case was truly about "morals" and "ethics" the op wouldn't have went out of his way to punish this kid, he could have written the exact same post and left out the poor kids identity and gotten the exact same result he says he wants. The OP was ticked off because some snot nose punk mouthed off to him instead of bowing to his wisdom and he wanted this kid to learn a lesson. There's only one thing in life I hate worse than snot nose kids and that's a bully.
What if the kid was fired because of all the racist and animal cruelty pics he posted himself and bragged about? This kid is his own worst enemy between what HE posted on FB and the public comments HE made are a big part of the problem. The majority of the backlash happened after people saw his PUBLIC FB page.
How can the original poster be liable for actions of others? So If I say I dont like John Doe and someone goes out and hurts him how is that my fault?
