General Rutgers freshman commits suicide after roommate puts sex tape online

[The Helper]

It was a fatal blow struck from cyberspace.

A shy Rutgers freshman was so humiliated when two cruel classmates secretly streamed live video of his gay encounter that he leaped to his death from the George Washington Bridge, authorities said yesterday.

"Jumping off the gw bridge sorry," Tyler Clementi, 18, posted on his Facebook page just eight minutes before his plunge at around 8:50 p.m. on Sept. 22.

Clementi's suicide led to a swift criminal probe and the arrest of his roommate, Dharun Ravi, and a fellow freshman, Molly Wei, for their alleged vile voyeurism.

I actually heard this on the news again last night at work

They've (the roommate and some girl). been arrested and will either serve 5 or 10 years depending on their sentence (if they get charged with something more and I forgot what it was).

Not sure if that was in the article.

No it's not. It's the hard truth.

Sorry but it IS bullshit, you can't honestly tell me, that if you were emotionally insecure, and someone completely humiliated you that you wouldn't think about it.

That's some serious bullshit

Being emotionally insecure and being suicidal are two different things. He had to have thought about suicide beforehand. Granted, this gave him the push to do it, but what's not to say something else wouldn't have popped up? E.g., a gay lover dumps him because his performance stinks in bed. "Oh man time to go to the gw bridge!"

No they're not different at all. Suicide was the effect of being emotionally insecure. You don't know what was going on in his mind.

 

[Sevion]

Um. What the hell are you talking about? Being emotionally insecure and being suicidal are two different things.....

Would you like their definitions?

A causational relationship does not make the 2 things the same... it makes them causal.
