Broadcasting his name, address and phone number is very close to incitement to harassment. Technically, that may not be illegal, but your doing that shows retribution on a personal level as a motive. Even though the guy was reckless and he may be convicted for his illegal acts, his punishment should not be increased by inciting the public to harass him.

Click here to read more about harassment. The sentence that is relevant is this: "When determining the difference between simple rudeness and criminal harassment, authorities are likely to consider issues such as the attacker’s apparent intent, the frequency of the remarks or postings, evidence of premeditation or information gathering, whether others were encouraged to participate in these acts and whether remarks or attacks were directed specifically at the victim.
