| LiveJournal Members Gone Awry [LJ Repost] |
*part of a series of posts I am cross-posting. I'm finally within the MySpace timeline, which means these posts will be dated the actual date/time they were originally posted*
So I was messing around on Wikipedia which is my new hobby for some reason, and for fun I looked up LiveJournal. In the article they mention a number of notorious LJ owners who were killed (tiabliaj), committed a killing (smchyrocky, weise, and skulz67), or did other unspeakable acts (ohbutyouwillpet don't even get me started on this guy... GROWL!) and it occurred to me how random the internet is. OK two people on my friends list (dark_happiness and dakotakym) I went to H.S. with but even that was 15 years ago, but others I never even met and I wonder what I would do if say someone on the eddieizzard board suddenly turned out to have a massive collection of human skulls in their closet. I wonder if the people who were "friends" to any of these notorious LJ owners knew that one day the seemingly innocent posts about anger and deviant behavior would eventually drive the poster to kill their mother, mass murder people in their school and then turn the gun on themselves, rape a four month year old baby!? And does anyone find it ironic that one of tiabliaj's last posts mentioned how she was afraid of men.. only to be killed ironically several days later by a male? Anyways I'm ranting here but looking back I could easily see myself reading one of these journals, maybe thinking the owners had some issues but that they would have worked out, only to realize in hindsight once the atrocities happened how I should have seen it coming. Hopefully this won't ever happen to anyone I consider a friend or even an acquaintance.. but I just couldn't help from thinking. |
