"It's the cans. He hates the oil cans. Stay away from the oil cans!"

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The shocking suicide of a college student whose sex life was broadcast over the Web illustrates yet again the Internet's alarming potential as a means of tormenting others and raises questions whether young people in the age of Twitter and Facebook can even distinguish public from private.
Cruel gossip and vengeful acts once confined to the schoolyard or the dorm can now make their way around the world instantly via the Internet, along with photos and live video.
"It's just a matter of when the next suicide's going to hit, when the next attack's going to hit," said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey lawyer who runs the website WiredSafety.
Last week, Tyler Clementi, a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers University freshman and gifted violist, jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after his roommate and another classmate allegedly used a webcam to secretly broadcast his dorm-room sexual encounters with another man. The two classmates have been charged with invasion of privacy, with the most serious charges carrying up to five years in prison.
The suicide shocked and disturbed gay rights activists and others on campus....

Once he realized that the video would eventually wind up on a gay porn site and that his parents would find out ....
"It's the cans. He hates the oil cans. Stay away from the oil cans!"
Hey,at least the kid was capable of feeling shame...unlike so many of this nation’s pervs.
Aren’t we doing young people a horrible disservice because the take away message SHOULD be:
DON’T COMMIT SUICIDE!
Its my believe that girls are targeted constantly by webcams and it gets laughed at and hohahhed all the time....
but let a gay fellow get this treatment?....suddenly its national news...but rightly so....maybe now this sort of evil crime will be treated more seriously.....
There can be no privacy given the technologies that are coming. None at all. Nowhere. For no one. That means secret hypocrisy will be impossible (and so many taboos will fade away.) It also means that criminals from the back alleys to the Whitehouse will have a real problem committing crimes in secret.
I agree they should be punished...but I’m sensing over the top sympathy toward the “Gay Lifestyle” and this thing is taking on the Martyrdom-type cast of the Matthew Shepard case.
The guy killed himself. The other kids did not kill him. What they did was despicable but don’t tell me they caused his death....which is staring to get implied here...
Tyler Clementi was enrolled in the school’s music program and was an accomplished violinist.
UH .. Maybe you should 'rethink' that part?
I demand internet be banned for all gay kids immediately! Also from this point forward all gay porn is banned...on internet or otherwise.
why am I so much smarter than the idiots in DC? see how easy it is to solve these problems? I literally figured out this solution in 2 seconds.
Finding out what actually led to this young man’s suicide is probably impossible at this point. If you even wonder, you’re “insensitive.” (Very like the template that labels every criticism of Obama as racist.)
gimme a break. girls can’t wait to put their own goodies all over the net these days.

Just ‘peeked’ at your ABOUT page.

Wow, I didn’t realize that.....
Sympathy - beware of it because it is usually being deployed as a weapon of guilt against you...
once heard someone say, “Always remember, ‘syumpathy’ lands between ‘sh*t’ and ‘syphilis’ in the dictionary....”
Would you mind providing links the information you have stated regarding:
-Tyler Clemente was a budding gay porn star
-He had an argument with his older lover prior to suicide
Just want to know where you got your info.
Just out of curiosity I must ask, would his death be less tragic if he were a mediocre violist?
Just a little commentary on how this stuff is worded.
