Rutgers man who jumps off bridge to his death.

So everyone who ever teased a kid who kills himself later on in life should all go to prison? There'd be no one left out to guard the place.

What they did was wrong, and the outcome is unfortunate, but they're not liable for his death IMO. It's not as if they systematically tortured him for years culminating in his suicide. This was an isolated incident. Do they deserve more than a slap on the wrist? You bet.

My thoughts also. Who here had NEVER teased anyone? We have all teased someone who was taller, shorter, fatter, skinnier, gay, straight, black, white boy, girl. We all have at one time or another been cruel so someone; some a lot more than others but I agree i dont think he should get manslaughter but he should get the MAXIMUM punishment for violating someone privacy which still could be a still prison sentence.

Yes it's hard enough being a teen and always has been. Kids are cruel. It's to bad he did not have enough support at home to accept him for who he was.

They need to be careful with this whole hate crime thing or like said, it will get out of hand. I dont think it was a hate crime. It was a crime of violation of privacy.
