I'd say more specifically, anyone who bullies another person to suicide should be pretty damn ashamed of themselves, regardless of whether or not there should be any legal consequences for their actions.
It bothers me how people are so reliant on government to be a moral authority that they can't seem to tell the difference between law and morality. They have trouble understand that a legal action could be immoral, or that an immoral action does not necessarily need to be illegal. The same thing can be said about reality and morality. Doing reckless things does not make you morally deserving of suffering even though reality will punish you for bad decisions.
