OMG SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK!

I just watched the news and they were talking about a guy called William Melchert-Dinkel. Apparently Mr Melchert-Dinkel preyed on people with depression in 'suicide sites'. He encouraged them to kill themselves on web-cam (while he watched) under the pretence that he was also killing himself. He was tracked down (by the FBI) after emails shared between him and latest victim (nadia kajouji) were found in her computer. In one of the emails he told her to buy a rope and hang herself infront of her computer, but she chose to drown herself instead. Now Mr Melchert-Dinkel has a chance of walking scott-free simply because he didnt 'physically help them'. Btw thats what 'legal expects' say. What BS!

What do u guys think?

No he didnt see her drown, but she promised him in one of her emails that if she failed (from drowning herself) she was then gonna hang herself with him via web-cam. His victims are not only women, men too. The reason (given) for his big chance at walking free is because he didnt force them to commit suicide, they did it themselves without any physical assistance from him, which is what matters according to some expects and the law (apparently).

I agree with u EEE and the mother of one of his other victims (mark drybrough who hung himself) is busy tracking down families of other victims to do just that. But still it would be difficult to prove because Mr M.D used several usernames on different sites. They think its him because of the webcam thing

I hope so. He was also smart enough to use different IPs or some kind of a blocker because the only link to him is nadia, the other guy emailed back n forth with a person of the same username as Mr M.D but they cant prove it was him.

I just checked him on google, he was found guilty but i dont think he is serving because his occupation is listed as former nurse, now a truck driver. He happens to be a cancerian. Ellybean once mentioned that they were insane

He got 360 days in jail, his occupation says he is currently (as of 2012) driving trucks. He admitted to have encouraged about a 100 people to commit suicide, but was charged for 2. 360 days for 2 human lives is a joke. Justice is only fair to criminals nowadays.

Well he IS free unfortunately. What a miscarriage of justice!

Funny i though aquas would top lists of law breakers but it isnt so. The quiet sweet ones are the ones who end up being serial killers. Every serial killer i ever read about is always described by family, friends, etc as being polite, helpful, etc. Dont u find that strange? The aggressive and violent people never actually kill, its usually the 'angels' that do it. Mr M.D was/is a church going family man.

Thats what i dont get, the not guilty part- he watched it happen, didnt report it, isnt he supposed to be charged with being an accessory or something? The whole thing is unfair imo.

^^ to sutekh

Cancepio, what was the point of sending him to japan when he did the crime in paris? I dont get it, its stupid. Thats why people end up taking law into their own hands, its done here all the time. And the people who end up getting long sentences are the ones who took revenge due to miscarriage of justice.

And how is he 'promoting suicide'? That should be the charge given to the site and its owner not him. He assisted it and its maddening that they didnt see it that way and give him the 15 years he deserves

Didnt the french do a follow up? This is insane. Im gonna read up on the story. They concluded that he was evil, so now evil people should now be free and mix with society? He is going to do it again

What an asshole. I dont think he should be charged though. As wild as that may sound.

Oh my @ gifted herself to him. Reminded me of the dutch guy who made an ad at a newspaper to eat somebody. Many responded and he chose some guy. He said he made a dinner of roasted butt cheecks and potatoes, lol, which he ate for days. Human flesh was found stored in his freezer. But i think he was found guilty though.

Wgamador, why do u think so?

unless he physically did it himself, hes not guilty of anything.

Right-o. If they start prosecuting taunters, where would it end? Can you imagine if that applied here? If I tell some narcissistic, crazy jealous old Scorp with a Cancer moon and Leo Mars that she ought to go kill herself, well, that's just giving sound advice, IMO.

Nemesis, he met his victims at website for suicidal people aka suicide sites. He pretended to also suffer from depression in order to gain trust from other members of the said sites. Once he got their trust he then made 'death pacts' with them. On the day when him and his 'death friend' were suppose to kill themselves, he then pretends to have a technical problem with his webcam so the other wont see that he wasnt really killing himself. But on his side he sees the whole suicide take place.

I agree with u cancepio, his intent was pure evil hence the watching. It shouldnt matter that he didnt physically help them do it. The guy was a nurse at the time (for God's sake), he knew what he was doing. Most people with depression idealize death or see it as a solution to their suffering, so if somebody (a health professional no less) comes and 'sympathize' with them and agrees with them that death is indeed the only solution- they are going to buy it. On top of that, give them ways to make it (death) less painful. He played on their illness and emotions, for that he deserves the 15 years he managed to dodge.

A good way to look at it is this way- lets say u suffer from migraines all your life and couldnt live with it anymore. U meet a doctor/nurse who specializes in migraines, but was also a sufferer of the same condition with no help (he cant help even himself). He then tells u migrains are incurable, there's no point living with migrains, etc, so its better to cut off your head, even better, u must both cut off your heads. Ur going to do it because emotionally ur vulnerable because of your condition (anything is better than your current situation) and 2ndly because its a health professional with better medical knowledge so if he says its pointless to live with it, then its pointless. Why do u think he chose to tell them his proffession- to gain their trust (on what he was telling them to do, the hopelessness of living with a mental condition, etc, all given from a professional's pov who happens to be also a sufferer) so he could easily manipulate them.
