Bullies Should Not Be Charged In Connection To The Death of a Peer

DISCLAIMERAny misunderstanding of my opponent's prior intentions and expectations regarding this debate is simply because he didn't take his time to present clear definitions and criteria, and that is something he takes the blame for. I will not accept any smuggled-in definitions or exceptions newly introduced in Round 3, because I didn't agree to those when I clicked "I accept."In his first round, Con provided the following definition of Bully: "One habitually cruel to others who are weaker." Notice that the word "cruel" is even used in "animal cruelty" and many other horrid cases of abuse, although it is also used lightly in informal language. Because this particular word was never clarified, my opponent cannot make the clarification at a later stage, and say that he is targeting a form of "bullying" that is less cruel than what I understood.REBUTTALA2- Assisted Suicide ChargeCon presented a definition from Merriam Webster which is only a brief headline, leaving out the more accurate definitions below[1]:Full Definition of ASSISTED SUICIDE: suicide committed by someone with assistance from another person; especially : physician-assisted suicide.Medical Definition of ASSISTED SUICIDE: suicide by an individual facilitated by means or information (as a gun or indication of the lethal dosage of a drug) provided by someone else aware of the individual's intent; especially : physician-assisted suicide.Con remarks, "The definition stipulates two other things which disqualify schoolyard bullies from this type of charge: it's usually a doctor and it's used to end severe illness."Rebuttal: The actual definitions in Con's citation do not stipulate those as necessary conditions; they only clarify that most of the cases happen to be physician-assisted, which is expected because people don't usually go to the hairdresser for suicide. Truth of the matter, in some cases, we don't have doctors or severe illnesses. Take for example 17 year-old Dillon Gargett, who is not a doctor, but was charged for assisted suicide when he helped his 16 year-old friend, who didn't have any severe illnesses, commit suicide by knowingly providing him with necessary equipment[2]. Imagine if he was declared innocent from the "assisted suicide charge" simply because he wasn't a doctor. That would be ludicrous at best.Con argues that "Assisted suicide"requires intent.Rebuttal: If Con read my example who would have seen that: (1) The bullies knew the intent of the victim was to kill himself (as he himself expressed it). (2) The bullies assisted the victim by intentionally giving him a loaded gun to kill himself.It is important to note that "helping him get better" and 'helping him kill himself" should not be falsely equivocated in this regard. Assisted suicide is only concerned with the latter, and so the assistant could be completely apathetic, friendly or utterly hateful.In summary, I provided exceptional cases of bullying where the bullies should be charged for Assisted Suicide, and have not yet received any good objections, but simply an inaccurate description of "Assisted Suicide" based on an oversimplified, layman definition.A1- "Suicide" cases can lead to more chargesPro conceded that according to my definition of "bullying" this applies, but argued using a new definition of "bullying" which he didn't clarify in the first round, and which conflicts with the definition of "bullying" from a standard and official standpoint. In the Examiner's "Convicted for bullying" article on Tyler which I presented in Round 2, "After learning about Tyler Clementi’s suicide, President Obama released a statement condemning acts of bullying and intimidation and expressing, Tyler and others did nothing wrong to deserve being bullied." In other words, Tyler's roommate criminal behavior was described as "bullying" by the the article and the presidential statement, and was said to involve crimes.A3- Summary of Con's CaseTo satisfy his BoP, Con had to disprove my exceptional cases and prove his own case with arguments.1- Suicide is always a solitary action.Rebuttal: Con concedes that "Assisted suicide" exists, which is a form of suicide that is not solitary. Therefore, Con is arguing for A and Not A in the same time which is a violation of the law of non-contradiction.2- Bullying should be treated like the death of a deceased one or another naturally occurring crisis.Rebuttal: False comparison fallacy. Bullying is intentional, constant, planned and performed by a group of people supposedly responsible for their actions.3- Bullying policy would damage freedom of speech.Rebuttal: Bare assertion and slippery slope fallacy, and Con ignored my previous rebuttal.CITATIONS[1] http://www.merriam-webster.com...[2] The teenager who helped his friend die: 'I'm sorry'.
