A New Jersey college student, who police believe was secretly — and illegally — filmed in a dorm sexual encounter, indicated on Facebook that he planned to jump off a prominent New York City bridge before he took his own life, the Star-Ledger reported online.
A family lawyer confirmed Wednesday that 18-year-old Tyler Clementi killed himself by jumping from the George Washington Bridge. The attorney, Paul Mainardi, said Clementi was “a fine young man and a distinguished musician.”
Clementi, a freshman at Rutgers University, changed his Facebook status to “Jumping off the gw bridge sorry” on Sept. 22, the Star-Ledger reported, though his full profile isn’t public so that couldn’t be independently confirmed.

This news broke just yesterday, and I’m thoroughly disgusted, and saddened by this.
Invasion of privacy, hate crime, suicide, NJ, 2010 … in college???
I expect a little more from (supposedly) more “liberal” places and times in a person’s life. College is supposed to be a space away from home and judgement so you can explore and learn… mostly about yourself. Yet again, this is another reason why I am who I am today, and why I do what I do.
I don’t wish ill on people, but I really hope the two people who taped Tyler and then splattered it all over the internet… are reminded of what the consequences of their actions were… for the rest of their lives.
