For someone who seems to be in the "not excusing his actions" group, you sure do excuse them a lot.
Now it's the media's fault for having the victim speak out? The laws fault for making it legal to report on this in Ohio. His parents fault for not stopping it sooner. Ignoring the decade of bullying to focus on one event that he got a whooping 25 hours of community service for. You even had the audacity to try and excuse his lack of apology with opening him up to a civil case (which wouldn't matter because they have the incident on video if they wanted to go civil).
He made a mistake, refused to apologize in person, continued to not try to apology in person up until today. So that's on him. Not the justice system, not the media, not Ohio, not even his parents.
