No, I mean they aren't really at fault. Those douchebags deserve worse than death.
Just because someone cursed them out of sheer abhorrence because of that they start picking at them. Not to mention, they incurred that. Bunch of bullies. They simply wanted to pull a prank & it turned out as something massively messed up shit. They should remain silent, if guilt takes a toll on them thats another issue tho thats what likely happen. This is exceiting.
