Tyler Clementi

Tyler Clementi was a freshman at Rutgers University.  He was an eighteen year old distinguished musician who enjoyed playing the violin. I'm sure that he was a fine young man that will be missed by family and friends.  The language of human right were under attack when two of his fellow peers decided to take his rights to privacy away.  He had the right to love and have sexual relations with any one that he wanted; it just so happened to be with another male,so his right to privacy had fallen into the wring hands when Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei decided to secretly video tape him having sexual relations with another male. As a result, Tyler had decided to take away his own rights to live.  He felt so violated that he jumped off the George Washington bridge after he posted his feelings on face book.  Now, his roommates are facing two counts of invasion of privacy and are about to have their rights to freedom taken away. They took credit for their actions of narrative events and now it's time for them to face the music.

  1. when i read about this at the time it took place i was flamming upset. it was really an invasion of his privacy and they crossed the line just for their entertainment.
    its wrong when people take their rights and use it to harm another human being just for their sick, twisted pleasure. i agree that its their time to serve for what their actions caused but lets just hope that others learn from their horrible mistake.
