Lemme guess. She either broke up with him, or wouldn't date him in the first place, because her parents didn't approve of him. If so, he certainly did an excellent job proving them right.

Another reject who couldn't handle being rejected?

Some people don't accept to be rejected... and of course... the story is always the same...
I feel sorry for the girl and her family...

Did you mean he should be sentenced to community service of cleaning the gallows? I will assume so, as the death penalty itself is typically reserved for people who commit actual murder.
