RIP Mr. Biggs

Youtube description:
19-year-old Florida resident Abraham K. Biggs, who went by the screen names "CandyJunkie" and Mr Biggs, told users on a bodybuilding forum he would be committing suicide that night and invited them to watch the live video.

RIP to this kid and my condolences to his family. He had some depression issues and OD'd on anti depressant pills. I am weirded out that he publically announced his suicidal plans on a bodybuilding forum. He actually carried it out too. The mods on that forum are gonna be banned most likely.

Say you were on that site and reading through the forums and stumbled upon that post. What would you do? You are reading his words of anguish and pain and depression. Most people love the mask of anonymity because of the internet and tell him "DO IT FTW!1!1 ZOMG!" stuff like that. Now look at this kid. Dead.

I never really took those internet PSAs seriously about "Cyber bullying is still bullying." until now. There are a lot of twisted people in this world. I'm not necessarily talking about Mr. Abraham K. Biggs. According to the video people were egging him on and he had over 1000 viewers just watching him. At first people took it as a joke. I dont think that this should have been taken as a joke in the first place. Could someone have prevented this? Maybe, maybe not.

The internet really is an interesting place. It does have a dark side to it though. You can do anything on it. Even broadcast your own suicide. I think I'll stick to blogging.
