Glad to see justice served. Hazing is no longer a good natured exercise, it is an act of cruelty.

Life lesson: no club or group is worth dying over.

The accused guys look like lunatics and the victim looks so lovable.

A few years ago a friend of mines son was bullied his entire school career, every day as much as these people could and then hazed his first year of college in which he was jumped by multiple men and it left him incredibly beaten. This all led to him hanging himself two days later after the hazing. He felt like he was never going to be able to live his life without fear of being beaten or made fun of so he hanged himself. None of these bullies were punished at all due to them being "Athletes". Still to this day I wish I could've helped him understand he had people who loved him and that it will get better. People are moreso disgusting these days instead of nice and I hate it.

Makes room for people who actually want to use college to have a better life for themselves than their parents did. Not morons who just want to use an imaginary power against people.

The colleges and universities MUST put an end to this barbarianism.

RIP Robert Champion, Timothy Piazza, Stone Foltz, Adam Oakes and others whose names I don't know. The colleges and universities MUST put an end to this barbarianism.
Prayers and sympathy to the Oakes family.

These little college punks are gonna suffer in years to come. Guarantee

It'll be a good day When cannabis is legal nationwide And alcohol is hard to come by.

Binge drinking is a huge problem on college campuses. This is not the first, nor the last, student to die from alcohol poisoning. Be it hazing or partying. My son is in the military & they also deal with both young men & women getting intoxicated to the point of needing medical assistance. It's sad.

We don't know why any of the traditionally known to cause harm with hazing fraternities and sororities are so desirable if you must purchase acceptance by permitting yourself to be mistreated

[carolinav]

Just aweful
RIP
Hope those idiots learn a lesson!

[iamyourunbiasedgod]

What kind jacked up names are those? 🤣 Wow

[barbielev]

why do things like this happen? Because there is pure evil and wickedness that many turn a blind eye to. Where has humanity gone?

[Lousasshol]

sad, poor guy was just wanting to make some new friends and fit in...rest in a better place bud

[unfairsanic]

I still dont know why fraternities still exist

[a.p.]

I was once almost wanting to be in the fraternity. After looking at some over absurd initiation processes, I've soon realize it's indoctrination, power over other peoples fears and them thinking that you want this treatment because you want to be in a group. It's not a social club anymore ladies and gentlemen. I'm glad I walked
