Redditors " "egged" another redditor into killing himself", family to sue them, reddit to be subpoen - Polidicks

[QUOTE]One month ago, Reddit user and MRA [URL="http://www.reddit.com/u/Black_Visions"]/u/Black_Visions[/URL] wrote about his [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/qoixk/a_lot_of_trolls_tonight/"]impending suicide[/URL]. SRS trolls [URL="http://www.reddit.com/u/AlyoshaV"]/u/AlyoshaV[/URL] (now [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/qoixk/a_lot_of_trolls_tonight/c3z7kmp"]recanted[/URL]), [URL="http://www.reddit.com/u/letsgetwhitey"]/u/letsgetwhitey[/URL] and others egged him on in an ugly display of human indecency. User [URL="http://www.reddit.com/u/sisterofblackvisions"]/u/sisterofblackvisions[/URL] has [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/s59ju/from_the_sister_of_black_visions_who_committed/"]updated us[/URL] with the gruesome tale of his death. She has also informed us that her attorney has brought a wrongful death lawsuit against nine individuals who egged him on, and Reddit will be subpoenaed for identifying information of the other three. Lesson: Drama has consequences. UPDATE Proof that suicide occurred: [URL="http://tukwila.komonews.com/news/911/728610-man-falls-eighth-story-doubletree-apparent-suicide"]news story[/URL], [URL="http://records.tukwilawa.gov/WebLink8/DocView.aspx?id=35403&page=1&dbid=1"]police report[/URL]. Thanks to [URL="http://www.reddit.com/u/Bartab"]/u/Bartab[/URL].[/QUOTE] Sister's post (excerpt): [QUOTE]He wrote an email to me a couple of hours before he died. In the email jerry said that [I]"I do not hate anyone. Why do they say I hate? I only hate myself. They say that if ended my life, that it would be 1 down and 30,000 to go. I feel very helpless."[/I] [B]He also called his ex-wife to tell her that he was about to commit suicide, when she told him to "fuck off and die already" according to his email.[/B] Jerry jumped to his death from the 8th floor of a hotel in Washington State about an hour later. He was 51 years old. [B]Our family has decided to take legal action not only against his ex-wife, but those who urged him on to take his own life.[/B] Next week, our lawyer will be filing a wrongful death suit in Washington State against nine individuals. Our lawyer hired a private investigator and three of the individuals have been identified from those who urged Jerry to kill himself. Subpoenas will be issued to find the identiy of the other three, though it is possible that they were the same people. We don't know yet. We were told by our lawyer not to give any other information out such as our full names or the people to be named in the lawsuit.[/QUOTE] So the family is suing the "trolls" because he said he was going to kill himself, posted about it on reddit, got trolled, and killed himself? That doesn't seem like a valid reason to start any sort of legal procedure.

Isn't Reddit that place with all the pedophiles? Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised.

[quote]when she told him to "fuck off and die already" according to his email.[/quote] What a horrible bitch.

[QUOTE=Cuntsman;35542188]Isn't Reddit that place with all the pedophiles? Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised.[/QUOTE] It's a place for lots of people. It's only natural that you would eventually get a load of weirdos flocking in.

Mentally ill man gets butthurt on internet, calls ex-wife who's sick of his drama bullshit, kills self. Slow news day. [editline]12th April 2012[/editline] If anything, the only amusing thing about the article is that the family is suing.

that's sad :( poor guy.

[QUOTE=Cuntsman;35542188]Isn't Reddit that place with all the pedophiles? Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised.[/QUOTE] used to be, the Reddit traffic took a massive dip when /r/Jailbait was closed :v:

It's sad, it's a waste, it's the sort of thing that happens somewhere in the world every day. What d'you do when there's no sympathy left to give? The true villains here are the media who won't let him fade away with dignity.

[QUOTE=Cone;35542211]It's a place for lots of people. It's only natural that you would eventually get a load of weirdos flocking in.[/QUOTE] FP is also a place for lots of people, yet we don't have CP boards.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;35542177]On top of that, they're[I] not [/I]suing his ex who actually told him to kill himself over the phone.[/QUOTE] [quote]Our family has decided to take legal action not only against his ex-wife,[/quote] not only =/= not Am I a bad person if I felt less sorry for him the instant I learned he was a MRA? I mean, I still feel bad for him, but it [I]does[/I] explain the ex-wife to a degree...

[QUOTE=Cuntsman;35542188]Isn't Reddit that place with all the pedophiles? Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised.[/QUOTE] Reddit is where the new Facepunchers come from.

Reddit: 1 4chan: at least 10+ and a mall shooting

[QUOTE=latin_geek;35542177]So the family is suing the "trolls" because he said he was going to kill himself, posted about it on reddit, got trolled, and killed himself? That doesn't seem like a valid reason to start any sort of legal procedure.

I don't think the reddit guys should be sued (no matter of much of a bunch of retards they are), there's hundreds of guys claiming they want to kill themselves either to troll or to be attention-whores, how the hell were they supposed to know he was serious.

[QUOTE=Cuntsman;35542280]FP is also a place for lots of people, yet we don't have CP boards.[/QUOTE] Not as many people as Reddit. Plus garry would probably flip his shit.

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;35542317]Reddit is where the new Facepunchers come from.[/QUOTE] so that's the reason why i've seen an increase in retards and bad posting.

[QUOTE=01271;35542324]Reddit: 1 4chan: at least 10+ and a mall shooting[/QUOTE] 4chan usually only goes as far as DO IT FAGGOT

[QUOTE=Cone;35542397]Not as many people as Reddit. Plus garry would probably flip his shit.[/QUOTE] Yeah isn't that what got the "Weirdest boner thread" closed?

reddit is even worse than 4chan and I hope it gets crushed into a fine flour that I can use to make schadenfreude cupcakes

[QUOTE=Cone;35542397]Not as many people as Reddit. Plus garry would probably flip his shit.[/QUOTE] Well then, I think we should be happy that the site is run by people with proper morals

Glad I left reddit, tried it for a month in January. Got sick of the crap flying around.

[QUOTE=Genericenemy;35542460]Glad I left reddit, tried it for a month in January. Got sick of the crap flying around.[/QUOTE] Reddit, not even once.

[QUOTE=Last or First;35542292]not only =/= not[/QUOTE] rate me bad reading

reddit is the scum of the internet. i rather go to 4chan than there

reddit can be okay a lot of times, but honestly? You post your final suicide notes on reddit, a website of over 2 million unique visitors a day and you don't think people will be cynical or "troll" you?

[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;35542453]reddit is even worse than 4chan and I hope it gets crushed into a fine flour that I can use to make schadenfreude cupcakes[/QUOTE] not to mention that the logic they use to diss out ShitRedditSays is seriously dumb "people pointing out bigotry and racism are the real bad people! if you stopped pointing it out it wouldn't be a problem!" honest to god that's what they're saying

[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;35542635]not to mention that the logic they use to diss out ShitRedditSays is seriously dumb "people pointing out bigotry and racism are the real bad people! if you stopped pointing it out it wouldn't be a problem!" honest to god that's what they're saying[/QUOTE] Maybe they should watch [I]The Color of Fear[/I].

reddit isn't that bad.... once you unsubscribe from all the default subreddits and learn which ones to avoid. I'm only subscribed to regional subreddits and a few smaller ones for specific interests. I do browse SubredditDrama, but that's only for entertainment purposes. :v: It's amazing how much shit goes down on other sections of that website though. Like how a [url=http://encyclopediadramatica.se/Raziel]woman with ties to Project Chanology and LulzSec took over reddit's largest LGBT subreddit and instilled a dictatorship, causing so much drama that the FBI apparently got involved.[/url]

I've never really been to reddit, whats so bad about it that it's worse than 4chan?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;35542706]I've never really been to reddit, whats so bad about it that it's worse than 4chan?[/QUOTE] In its whole the main subreddits are a meme-infested shithole, just visit [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/atheism]/r/atheism[/url] for the worst example Like 4chan some boards are okay though [url=http://redditdirectory.com/11839/SFWPorn-Network](like the entire SFWporn network)[/url] or things like /r/artisanvideos, /r/games, /r/askscience, /r/food and so on
