Boys Blog Leads To Arrest.......extremely sad.
 

this is one of the saddest things i've read in a while......

Boys Blog Just read the last entry.....

and the Story

amazing the sad irony that it presents.

for the linkclickaphobs

I'm glad the person was arrested. But I feel a little dirty, as in I want to wash my hands dirty, after reading the posts of a dead kid.

Why are we such car-accident-philes? (I.e. can't look away, it's like a car accident, a need to see how awful it is.)

I was actually just going to post a journal entry about this.

It's chilling to read the words of somebody who has recently died - especially when they clearly had no idea what was going to happen. I remember the day of the Columbine shooting, somebody sent me the AOL screenname of one of the two guys - and it was just chilling. There's something about the internet and its immediacy that really brings home how our lives can be changed irrevocably in less than an instant.

All the comments on the Xanga page are really what got to me.

That is so very....weird.

I just can't come up with anything.

aww, man...
That's gross...he was just a kid, doin' his thing in his room...ugh

Makes me wanna get that shirt that says, "I'm blogging this."

Could prevent me from getting murdered!

That was chilling. I don't know what to say.

Wow that is extremely sad. It's sad when a life is cut short for no good reason. It is weird and interesting to read his posts and look at his thoughts and plans.

For instance he talks about being excited about Star Wars III and he didnt live long enough to see it. It is just completely depressing.

humanity never ceases to amaze me with our potential to do good

....... and our potential to do evil. :(

Sweetpea

agreed :/ yuck, poor kid seemed so upbeat :( :(

That's crazy......I just got major chills.....

Fucking chilling like hell. Seriously. I had to sit still for a whole minute.

EDIT: Shit man . . . I was gonna read some articles then go watch some titties. I know I'm ridiculously hypocritical for feeling this way, but I just don't feel like seeing titties anymore.

It's funny, because earlier today I was thinking about how my livejournal will prove if nothing else that one day I existed, had thoughts, dreams, and fears, even if nothing else survives. Kind of like this post. A depressed thought, sure, but it's true.

This boy could have had no idea how recording his minor irritation at the guy being in his home may save other lives from this man. At least there was justice served and he had no idea how he would offer up the means for that to happen.

This is actually a lesson in how we should trust our instincts. The boy felt the man needed to leave. If he had never let the man in then perhaps he wouldn't be dead today.

A depressed thought? Just the fact that you had dreams, thoughts and fears has it's own value.

That's the most chilling part, to me.

Its sad to think that there are people in the world so cold. I can't imagine how the parents feel. Both of their kids taken in such a horrible way. WOW! Damn our free will.

So sad...makes you wonder why we deserve to exist.

from his friend's site...

"I know I am really the type of person that gets happy from even the tiniest thing, but depressing worns you out man! Is better to be happppy -Simon"

it's always refreshing to see that kind of outlook from a person. shame to see someone like that go, especially like this.

I feel really bad about this. My soul hurts. This is terrible.

I literally got goose-bumps reading his blog (without knowing what happened first). May he rest in peace.

Extremly sad. Glad the guy got caught... Sending him for a lifetime of pound-me-in-the-ass...

I had to read it twice to absorb it. I wonder how long that blog will be left up for...
