Being serious here for a moment, I'm happy. People should not be fucking with other people's lives, especially if they aren't a part of it. A shitton of people had to deal with this bullshit because one socially inept man got mad at a man on the internet. Selfish to the nth degree, and though we make fun of lolcows on the internet, we at least try not to bring people who aren't a part of it into the picture.
tl;dr: Samuel is the worse and deserves what's coming to him. And by some miracle of God it's not Samuel, I hope the convicted party gets the race war van visit to their house.
The only appropriate way of determining Samuel's guilt or innocence:
If he dies, he's innocent. If he lives, he's guilty and we burn the fucker at the stake.
