U.S.: Rutgers student caught on webcam, later jumps off bridge

  • Guy on the left asks for some privacy. Guy in the middle leaves his webcam on and goes to visit girl on the right. Guy on left, thinking he has privacy, makes out with his boyfriend. Guy in center tweets about what he found. Three days later, guy on left jumps off of bridge and kills himself. Rutgers student Tyler Clementi’s death is very postmodern and sad. Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei should be totally ashamed, if not more. source

Offbeat, World: Why this Chinese guy pushed another guy off a bridge

  • Their action violates a lot of public interests. They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.
  • Lai Jiansheng • On why he pushed suicidal man Chen Fuchao off a bridge. Lai said that his actions and the actions of the other 12 attempted bridge jumpers since April were “very selfish” and holding up traffic. (None of the 12 actually jumped.) Chen, who was heavily in debt, didn’t die – he fell onto a partially-filled emergency air cushion and is in the hospital. Which means that we can laugh about this now. • source
