Freshmen students at Stockton college filmed their bullying tirades on a dorm-mate and placed int on YouTube. The Internet got angry.
[Update] The second YouTube account hosting the videos has also been banned. You can download the videos in two separate zip files.
College is an experience that can make or break a person, and that comes just from course work. Add in the stress of having a job, balancing relationships, social activities and planning your future, you get a stream of endless work.
Generally the first place you live when entering college is a dorm room. Music playing all hours of the night, drunk naked people running through your halls and of course, the pranks. Pranks come with the territory of living in a dorm, much like expecting to never get much sleep. However, there is a difference between pranks and harrassment, which one student at Stockton fell victim to.
Over twenty videos were put on YouTube by chiefBroski, which has since been banned. A mirror of most of the videos has been placed under the name Chiefderpski however. The victim of the freshmen bullying, Josh Becker, was terrorized from at least five other individuals who lived in his dorm. Both Reddit and 4Chan have joined forces to contact local media, national media and the appropriate faculty at their college.
Taking Names
According to the thread of white-knight Reddit users, they have deciphered who was involved with the bullying, found out that one of the students posed as a RA, and contacted the dean who is now investigating the matter. Although 4Chan users also contributed to the measure, they are more notably known to be mischievous, and often create the most popular Internet memes.
Past Encounters
In the past there have been people like the Star Wars kid who have been victim of such abuse, but luckily have proved to become successful members of society. However, there are still cases of bullying that lead terrible crimes, such as Columbine.
For those who are bullied, there is a website with useful information on how to counter the situation before it gets out of hand.
