I still hate people

[moonwise]

I've been following the story about the Rutgers student who committed suicide after his roommate streamed video of him having sex with another male to the Internet. It makes me very sad and angry, because I simply cannot fathom what would possess someone to do such a thing. Okay, maybe you don't like your roommate, but 1. that does not excuse anything 2. you are not alone in that experience 3. you can get a new roommate if you are really that offended by his sexual preference. What infuriates me is the possibility that the two students who recorded the encounter thought that perhaps what they were doing was funny.

Fucking barrel of laughs, you two. Congratulations, you killed someone.

The really messed up thing? The guy that did it apparently didn't hate his roommate. At least according to a few people who knew him, he had told them that school was going well so far, and his roommate was pretty nice. So I'm thinking that "did it for the lulz" is exactly right here. :P

If those two really did do it for the lulz... my god.

Yeah, that's almost the worst part.
