Thoughts

I don't want to use this blog to spout off any kind of agenda. I have my belief and I respect everyone having their own.

That said, the story of Tyler Clementi makes me physically sick.

I'm unsure how anyone could not know the story of Tyler but here's a brief synopsis:

Tyler began his freshman year at Rutgers this year and was a young man struggling with whether or not he maybe he gay. One evening, he asked that his roommate not be in the room while Tyler had guest over. Said roommate went to a friends' room, remotely accessed his webcam and broadcasted what ensued in his room over the internet, using his Twitter account.

A few days after all this occurred, Tyler felt he had no other choice but to kill himself and jumped off the George Washington Bridge.

News reports have described Tyler as a kind individual and a talented musician.

I don't believe there was any reason for this to have happened, I don't believe Tyler had to die and I fully believe the roommate and his friend who did such an immature, hateful and ignorant thing should be prosecuted to the fullest extent they can be.

Tyler was a friend, a musician, a son, a human being. He should have been respected in life but I wholeheartedly hope his memory will be honored as it should be.
