Tyler Clementi committed suicide after his college room mate
secretly set up a web cam to spy on him having a homosexual encounter
and encouraged his twitter followers to view it on his f b. It went viral.
what did those midnight eyes
of yours see gazing into the webcam
titillating your dusky dirty mind
titters to twitter and facebook
feeding your malice
were you bored?
or
are you just a cruel sadistic f..K?
And no matter what -- why accepting that you ostracize people that are different? where is compassion and understanding?.. invasion of privacy is never OK, but the reaction and the fact that it even went viral is even more scary in my view...
ReplyDeletePowerful and an honouring. :(
ReplyDeleteHow sad ~ I vote for a cruel sadistic f..k ~
ReplyDeleteSo sad.
ReplyDeletehorrible ragging i must say that takes a life....ugh
ReplyDeleteI remember this story... actions like this are exactly why it's so hard to have faith in humanity...
ReplyDeleteI was not aware of this story until this weekend.I can relate to your comment.
DeleteThe inquisitive line drives the whole piece home.
ReplyDeletethe act was cruel and stupid. Cruel and evil for doing so, stupid for being young and unable to understand consequences of actions.
ReplyDeletePeople like that don't care about the consequences of their actions, no matter what the age.
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it. And the facts that (1) this entire thing was possible and (2) the victim felt he had no where to turn still need to be addressed.
ReplyDeleteCruel and sadistic would be my guess. Truly a horrible act. Very well written.
