Did anyone see on the news or read about the poor gay guy who killed himself in America after his class mates thought it would be “funny” to post a video of Tyler Clementi having sex with another man?
His great buddies secretly filmed the guy then broadcast it online.
The people responsible are being charged with it and if found guilty could face 5 years in jail, do you think these people deserve this or was it just a stupid, silly childish prank that went horribly wrong?

Sad. Sad that they would do this, and sad that he would think it was worth killing himself over.

5 years for privacy invasion does seem harsh. But if it can be proven that they knew that guy was potentially suicidal, then the sentence would be just imo, (maybe even a tad lenient.)
