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.

I first read about this yesterday and was infinitely appalled. I still am. I think about the Rutgers students living above us and wonder how they feel about this. They're in their final year so I doubt they knew the victim, but they seem like okay kids who would take offense to this. Or maybe they're glad they're leaving after this year. :/

Considering the Rutgers response to the Westboro Baptist Church (http://www.dailytargum.com/news/hundreds-counter-westboro-baptist-church-protest-1.2040953), I'd say that those two students are not representative of the student body at large. It's still very embarrassing to have such a heinous act associated with my university, though.
