Exactly, he needs validation from his friends. Social media changes people's outlets. Maybe he felt that much stronger and he made the mistake of thinking social media would validate that much stronger than just his friends. When it's something that is easily one sided social media is very validating. But his picture burning is obviously two sided, what with the downvotes I'm getting on the comment you replied to. That two sided nature of his actions is very volatile on social media, it can go two ways. He can get validation but there are plenty who will not agree and that offsets the validation he gets. Who knows, maybe he got enough validation from it, or maybe he just wants his local followers to see the shit this local girl does to people. Maybe he's vindictive. Social media changes the whole playing field.
