The kid has been tried, convicted, and punished, and he seems genuinely remorseful.

End of story.
All the blame? So when did it become a good thing for a person to call someone a "Piece of crap" and not expect someone to confront them? Would he call him that on the street? Would he call him that on the road? Would he call him that in the bar?

Sorry but even if that is all he said, what part of society is it OK to call someone a name like that and it be the fault of the person that confronts you? If you did that at a job you might not have a job anymore.

That is what is wrong with this society IMO.

Peace
