Another needless death
When a parents sends their child away to college for the first time it is a scary thing. This week a parent’s worst nightmare was recognized when a freshman student, Tyler Clementi, was video taped having an intimate interlude with another male student. It was sent out for the world to see. The culprits who did this were Dhrum Ravi and Molly Wei. Tyler later committed suicide by jumping off the Washington Bridge. Rutgers, the school of the three students, is in turmoil. Other students are outraged and suffering from remorse because of this young man’s death and their failure to give support to this young talented violinist.
I would like to hear what excuses these invaders’ of this young man’s privacy can come up with. Being Gay is no one business except the two people evolved. So why hurt someone in such a mean spirited way?
I am sure that neither student realized that their invasion of this young man’s privacy could bring them a five year prison sentence which I hope will be carried out.
Its time that we send a message to others that this new form of bullying and hurting other through mass media has got to stop! I hope the parents sue Ravi and Wei for wrongful death. Will this bring back their son? NO! But it will send a strong message to others.
I feel so sorry that this young man did not have the strength to go on and I know that the parents will never get over the death of their child. They are all in my prayers.
