Well, it was actually at night; my guess around 8:50PM.
You really did not think I would let this day go by without remembering Tyler Clementi now, do you? What is sad is Tyler would be in his early 30's now, maybe working at a Jersey or NYC research plant, and hopefully living life with a partner.
These were the opportunities he had. But they were denied him because of what the actions of Dahrun Ravi and Molly Wei did to his psyche. I blame them, and not Tyler. By the way, where are they now? Living their lives? Well, I hope a little remorse or a sense of having to live with what you did to this individual penetrates your two sorry lives.
Tyler was a wakeup call and still a symbol for youth suicide, gay or otherwise, in this society. And a cry for the end of the vulnerable being bullied. I speak from personal experience.
Take a moment in your day to remember Tyler, darlings!
And send good thoughts out to his parents and brothers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never to be forgotten, as long as I live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll never get over it.
ReplyDeletethe Tyler Clementi Foundation is still going strong, so that’s good news.
But this never should have happened.
Victoria, I could not agree with you more. We must never forget.
