RU-RAH-RAH! RU-RAH-RAH! HOORAH, HOORAH; RUTGERS, RAH!
A student at my alma mater, Rutgers University, was secretly filmed while having sex by two other students who then posted the images on the internet. The victim, sadly, has committed suicide.
HIS car was found with his cell phone and computer near the GWB – and he’s not being named at this time. The Prosecutor's Office has charged Harun Ravi and Molly Wei with invation of privacy for allegedly placing a cameras in teh 18-year-old’s dorm room, where two encounters were taped.
I have some thoughts here: 1. Why did the boy commit suicide over this? Don’t men usually thrive on the pride of their conquests? 2. I cannot BELIEVE the Jersey accents in the below video. 3. I miss college 4. I’m sad for the boy’s parents, family and friends. My thoughts are with them at this time.
Obviously, these are unrelated. The guy didn't kill himself because of the tape, he had a lot of other shit going on.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, if it was me, I'd post it to my own Facebook profile and probably be the one making the most comments on it.
These two evens are related. The issue here is that he committed suicide because his "sexual preferences" were publicized. My speculative bend is that he was gay. They exposed him. And he reacted to it and committed suicide. I hope they throw these two in jail.
ReplyDeleteThe kid who committed suicide was outed as gay. It stated on the perpetrators twitter account that he was watching his roomate making out with another dude.
ReplyDeleteSo early on when it was assumed he was filmed with a girl, it's a sad story and an unfortunate prank. How does the fact that he was gay turn this into the hate crime of the century for which the perpetrators should face a firing squad?
ReplyDeleteWhat if he were heterosexual and was filmed hooking up with a 70-year-old woman and the embarrassment drove him to suicide? Does that make it a hate crime against granny fetishists?
What they did was clearly wrong and they should be punished under the appropriate violation of privacy laws. But unless clear evidence comes out that their motive was specifically targeted at persecuting him because he was gay (as opposed to frustration over being barred from your room by your roommate who was hooking up) all this talk of manslaughter from the gay rights activists needs to stop.
One of the burdens of attaining equality is that you can't blame everything bad that happens to you on bias just because your angry.
