Yeah, let's ignore some valid points why don't ya. Clearly there's a market for that sense of "humor". I'm saying these kids were probably in some dumbass American Pie-esque warped view of what college is and found humor in that sort of thing.
Everyone: Calm it down. If you have nothing serious or legitimate to contribute, then don't post in here at all. The video was unnecessary, Hellions.
Well after rapid-fire misunderstandings of my post I have to question intelligence or at least ability to make inferences. Sorry.
I watched the video and it *barely* relates to the matter at hand. This is not the place to be sarcastic. Next time you speak with that sort of demeanor it's an infraction. It's disrespectful, so watch it.
Because a post appended with 'lol wat' makes everyone think 'this guy is trying to make logical connections to the topic at hand'.
Because a post out of motherfucking nowhere to single out one person is completely sincere and making legitimate topical conversation.
So, conflating two completely different scenarios (one from a teen comedy) is logical? EDIT: Just saw Louis' post. I'll bow out of this one.
The fact they blatantly went out of their way to make it clear he was with a dude over twitter, and told people (as the articles about it state) to watch at a certain time to see him live on webcam, means they were mocking him for being a homosexual and hating on him for that reason. If his homosexuality wasn't a big deal, they wouldn't make an effort to state he was with a dude. This is all about homophobia and harassing someone because of their sexual preferences and beliefs on love. Sure they didn't push him off that bridge, but the extreme humiliation of being mocked for who/what he was...and knowing that he would be the subject of intense ridicule from that point forward certainly helped in his decision to kill himself. Imagine everyone finding out something embarrassing about you Adam, and then making sure all corners of the internet knew about it. Sure it may seem it was just contained to Rutgers, but for all we know, people from that school told their friends...and their friends told their friends, and so forth. The sheer embarrassment over this would be enough to make anybody contemplate killing themselves. The kids deserve jailtime. Whether it be over his death, or invasion of privacy...these intolerant bastards need to be criminally punished. Intolerance is a terrible thing.
OH. MY. GOD. EVERYONE. STOP. THIS THREAD'S PURPOSE IS NOT FOR ALL OF YOU TO FUCKING GANG UP ON EACH OTHER. Way to be completely disrespectful to the entire situation and make a joke of someone's death. Unbelievable.
Yes, out of nowhere. That's why my whole wall of text post pertaining to suicide is in here, because I came in here for no reason at all. BACK TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND, the argument of the prosecutor and a suicide in jail does not hold up as a valid analogy. Whether or not the prosecutor is the one who puts the guilty in jail, it is the defendant that is ultimately responsible for the situation he's in.
Okay, I guess I fucking do have to spoonfeed this shit; I made the remark that it could've been for non-malicious humor. Casey said "are you kidding me" I posted the video, then explained: Clearly there's a market for that sense of "humor". I'm saying these kids were probably in some dumbass American Pie-esque warped view of what college is and found humor in that sort of thing. READ.
I sense this thread is closing due to people unable to move on from petty squabbling. /cough In any case, RIP Tyler. Figure despite my heartfelt post about suicide above, I should end on a mournful note rather than deal with what's going on here before this thread closes.
