Tyler Clementi

PJ Blogger and the Staff of the Ridgewood blog
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” ( https://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….

I do not understand what your problem is. The parents are leaving their church, what are you mad about?
Good. Everybody should leave their church.
i agree with #1. A traumatic event caused a mother to question a belief system that probably kept her from connecting with her son. It wouldn’t be the first time someone started thinking for themselves and rejected the “love” of the church.
somehow I doubt if it was planned parenthood making her kill her babies it wouldn’t be so news worthy
Why did you add all those links after the original post. They do not make your point any clearer.
Water Boy – What is your problem?
The fact: The Clementi’s left their church
What is so wrong with reporting the facts?
