Tyler Clementi

Ridgewood NJ, While it is said there is no greater sadness than the loss of child for a parent , we were truly taken back with the Ridgewiood News article ,”Tyler Clementi’s parents leave their Ridgewood church” ( http://www.northjersey.com/ridgewood/Tyler_Clementis_parents_decide_to_leave_their_Ridgewood_church_webcam_spying.html ) The News it seems looked to get on the band wagon making cheap political points out off a grieving mother and death of her child.

We have come to expect this kind of hack ” journalism” or propaganda from much of the mainstream media like the New York Times or the the “creepers” at the “Ridgewood Views” , the misguided flaunting of a grieving ,heartbroken mother is in poor taste and seems a bit out of character showing a clear lack of judgement by the Ridgewood News. While we don’t often agree with the News on things they usually look to protect the Village and its residents while showing a little class.

The Village is still reeling from the sudden loss of a Tyler Clementi leaving everyone in town to question weather they could have done more ;taking the whole tragedy as a personal failing of the Village itself. It is and has been a feeling that comes every time we lose a young person under any circumstances and has happened far too often , far more than any of us would like to admit. Readers have commented directly to this blog saying ,”the Clementi’s  sadness left (them) almost cringing with a feeling of sorrow .” and we agree.

come on people….
