Should "retweeting" be a crime?

Benton tried to equate it to intent earlier, but all retweets (I know) of this nature are intended to harm. We have to ask ourselves is simply sharing information provided to you harassment. I can guarantee that everyone in this thread finds this suicide to be tragic, but are the kids that did nothing more than share it criminally liable? 

Once we go down that rabbit hole we may not stop.

Is the host of the media site responsible?
Is the object of the affection responsible?
Is the school for creating such an environment responsible?
Is culture responsible?

It is completely rational to think the kids posting those messages on social media were acting in a criminally  abusive manner.  It is completely irrational to think a journalist doing their job is harrassment.  The only slippery slope that exists here is the one in your head.
