The tragic story that began with a sick joke on the Internet is coming to a close as a Riverhead, New York, jury deliberates the fate of 53-year-old John White, on trial for killing a friend of his son.
There is no such thing as going unheard in today's society... a perfect (if not upsetting) example is this case, in which a boy, Aaron White, was threatened by another student, Daniel Cicciaro, after a friend of Aaron's sent a joke regarding rape to one of Daniel's friends through Myspace. Do not expect anything to be taken lightly online... simple text can never fully convey emotion like actual conversation can. In this case, it proved to be fatal: Daniel Cicciaro was killed by Aaron White's father (John White) after Daniel had threatened Aaron. The internet can be a scary place... lets try to cut back on our Myspace fatalities.
