In no uncertain terms this is libel when they misfire. This is not a crime but it is a tort. Those who have been libeled on twitter and other written mediums (or slandered on Youtube, for example) should take immediate and full action prosecuting those that offended. Fierce civil punishment should be put forth to discourage this type of discourse in a lawful society.
We have laws for this kind of stuff.
