Cyberstalking

Are blogs like prison?

This is blogging's own Stanford Prison Experiment and and it's both humbling--and it sucks.

Michael Sandy : Cyberstalking and gay bashing taken to a whole different level

 

Michael Sandy collage, by Keith Boykin

 

I always like to point out to people that withouth human interaction no matter how many machines you have, without people, there's no reason to internet. The internet is nowadays another form of human expression. What makes the internet a new media is the fact that, it is as much a means of communication as a place, a geography, a domain, a hangout. It can even be a whole way of life.

Unfortunately for Michael, it brought him death. 

Michael was picked up at a gay chatroom where he was lured to a "date". He was brutally attacked by 3 men; so much so that Michael died because he ran into a highway and fell victim of a hit-and-run car. 

Two of the attackers have been charged with second degree murder.

On Monday there was a rally to call for more action and resources from City Hall and Albany.  Bejata and  Blabbeando have all the details. Don't forget to read the moving tribute posted by Keith Boykin.
