I totally disagree.  Everyone has a right to their own opinion.  That's not in question.  And yes, the fact that they wrote it down in a public forum (texts can be tracked and they always become public even if you think they won't) definitely makes it worse.  What I think as I walk down the street sometimes surprises even me, like 'Wow, where did that thought come from?" but I have filters that prevent me from speaking or writing those comments down.  As soon as either of these two clowns thought of those comments their filters should have kicked in and prevented them from making them a reality by writing them down.  The fact that they texted them anyway proves how invulnerable men feel in this society.  They are not sorry for what they did, they are only sorry they got caught.
