Psychotic Man Fooled Depressed Kids Into Suicide Pacts

Nadia Kajouji

Mark Drybrough

William Melchert Dinkel - the man who talked to vulnerable and depressed people online and convinced them to get into a suicide pact and take their lives because it was the easiest way to end their suffering.

This is a very sad true story. In 2008, a young girl disappeared from her dorm room at Carleton University. Upon investigation, her body was found in Rideau River. She was a suicide victim.

However, unlike most 19 year old kids who commit suicide, Nadia Kajouji was a well liked girl but she was suffering from a severe depression ever since she had moved to her dorm room. Her friends and family knew a bit but not all.

Upon further investigation, it was revealed that Nadia was chatting with an online buddy whom she thought was a female nurse and with whom she had entered into a suicide pact. The nurse had made her believe, that it is the best way to end this suffering and that is to do it together.

Sadly, Nadia is no longer alive to know that she was chatting with a psycho who was 48 year old, William Melchert Dinkel. William used to identify depressed people online and entered into suicide pacts but had no intention of taking his own life. He advised vulnerable people on the most painless and effective ways to kill themselves.

William was found guilty for aiding Nadia Kajouji and Mark Drybrough from UK to take their lives. He was sentenced for six and half years in jail and 15 years in probation. However, most of the sentence has been suspended. He can easily get away with only 320 days in prison and then return to jail for two days in the next ten years i.e. on the death anniversaries of Kajouji and Drybrough.

I feel this is unfair punishment for the crime he had committed. Two kids lost their lives because he fooled them. Most people on the internet say this is a very light punishment for what he did and are not happy about it.

It is so saddening to see how kids talk to strangers about their depression and feelings. It makes them vulnerable and like most cases, internet can be gross and you can never know what sort of psychopath are you dealing with on the other side of the screen. Some people like William end up playing with the already disturbed minds of some kids and the damage is so brutal that they even end up taking their lives. The crazy man is alive and the depressed kids are no more. It all seems so unfair.

Most dangerous U.S. cities

Press recently analyzed FBI statistics to rank the most dangerous cities in the nation. Based on violent crime findings, the study exposed cities big and small, notorious and not. Find more about the study, including the methodology.

Dayton

 Dayton, the 20th most dangerous city, is not nearly the largest city in Ohio.

Hartford

Hartford is the capital of Connecticut and is sometimes known by this moniker, because it's home to companies including Aetna and Travelers.  Hartford is also the nation's second-poorest city. Unlike Hartford, the country's poorest city is not among the most dangerous. 

New Haven

New Haven is home to an Ivy League school and claims to be the birthplace of a favorite American food. As one of the state's largest cities

Buffalo

Buffalo is the second-largest city in New York and near a landmark. Though it is the 17th most dangerous city, Forbes ranked it favorably.

Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, is a college town. A bulk of the population attends college, including one of the nation's biggest universities.

Little Rock

Little Rock is the largest city in and capital of Arkansas. Why is it called Little Rock.

Jackson 

Jackson is the capital of and most populous city in Mississippi. Despite its rank as the 14th most dangerous city, it was lauded by Forbes in 2009. A famous police killing occurred there in the 1970s.

New Orleans 
The current population of New Orleans is much smaller than before Hurricane Katrina. The population greatly increases during Mardi Gras. 

Memphis

Memphis has the highest population in Tennessee. One religion thrives in Memphis, and so does the second-most-visited home in the United States.  Whose home?

Baltimore

Baltimore is the biggest city in Maryland. It is the 11th most dangerous city, but crime there has decreased. HBO capitalized on the city's criminal reputation, with a popular crime series shot there. Which one?

Birmingham

Birmingham is the most populous city in Alabama.

Compton

 Compton is among the largest cities in California. Compton's rank as the 8th most dangerous city follows a history of violence. The city's Gifts for Guns program may reverse the trend.

Cleveland

Cleveland has a shrinking population. Though known as the "Comeback City" in Ohio, its danger ranking has increased.

Richmond

Richmond is in a large metropolis in California. Richmond's police notoriously acknowledged crime. What did they say? The city is one of the state's smallest municipalities

Oakland

Oakland is mere miles from the safer San Francisco. Oakland has a large population. The city had a record number of homicides in the '90s.   

Flint

Flint is far from being the biggest city in Michigan. Recent years have been especially violent in Flint. The mayor spoke solemnly last year.

Detroit

Detroit is known as "Motor City" and "Motown." Detroit has a criminal reputation, but crime is decreasing. The city's 8 Mile Road is notorious. Remember the Eminem movie, "8 Mile"?

Camden

Camden is a small city in New Jersey. Camden's danger rank has been up and down. A serial killer attacked in 1949.

St. Louis

St. Louis is not the largest city in Missouri, but it is the largest metropolis.

Scotland Yard Apologizes For The Night Stalker Case

Scotland Yard is quite sorry for their errors due to which a criminal Delroy Grant was left free to commit very ugly crimes, perhaps the most horrifying crimes in the history of Scotland Yard.

Delroy Grant is often known as the "Night Stalker" who preyed on pensioners for 20 years. He used to break into their homes and sexually assaulted them. In these 2 decades starting from 1992, he attacked 203 victims but detectives think the real number could be even more than 500 victims. Some victims were too ashamed to come forward.

In 1999, the police could catch Grant but due to their irresponsible errors he was set free. The police focused on someone else with a similar name and the real criminal was never caught. This mistake of Scotland Yard has caused a lot of suffering for hundreds of people.

Today Scotland Yard has accepted its fault in this case. Yesterday, Grant was found guilty of the series of sex attacks and late night burglaries he committed.

This is really horrifying and saddening. It shows how many different types of mad people exist in the world. Though, I am amazed that Scotland Yard could not catch the man in a good 20 years. Feel terribly sad for the victims and their families.

Davis Case Updates - The Twist

The way Raymond Davis case was going, it was quite evident that this incredibly obvious case would ultimately be twisted and taken into completely different directions. Although, who would possibly have doubt in understanding that the American did in fact kill two people who didn't threaten him in anyway. A bystander died miserably for no reason by a few people in a car that came see that Davis stayed secured and well protected after killing two common Pakistanis. And then the suicide committed by the young wife of one of the men killed by Davis in protest against government's political change in attitude that would set Davis free.

Anyhow, now for the record US Senator John Kerry after his short visit to Pakistan regarding the Davis case things are taking another turn. It is being noticed that there is shift in the US stance from talking about diplomatic immunity to now blood money and compensation. Pakistan's government is worried that bad ties with US would mean heavy losses in aid of many forms, which is why they are suggesting low measures. 

Thus, now it is quite possible that US might apologize for the incident and would pay compensation to the heirs of the victims. Our puppet Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani was the one who urged US to tackle the case by thinking about the family members of those killed and the sentiments of the people of Pakistan who want justice.

On the other hand, it is reported that the all the families of the three victims have unanimously agreed on not accepting any compensation. They want death sentence for Davis. In fact, one of the victim's family refused to meet American Senator John Kerry who wanted to grief on the death of the young man. 

It is so strange that such a big nation like America can't support justice in this case and are going mad to release a man who did in fact commit  crime, which is so obvious. He did kill two men for no reason. Because of him another man died on the road. Indirectly, because of him a young girl who was expecting her first child also committed suicide. It is unfair the way this case is being handled. How can money compensate human life? 

Mob lynching

Mob lynching is a common thing now & people are not even ashamed of it. Recently, in Mainwalli Colony 2 robbers were beaten to death & 1 is badly injured. Actually there were 6 robbers, but 3 escaped. People went mad as this gang had been robbing in that area for quite some time.

The residents wanted to kill all 6 of them & they believe it’s the only way to deal with criminals. They have done it to shame the police, cause they think they were supporting the gang. I think they have done it to take out their own frustration. They must hate so much that they don’t have any problem in beating a person with sticks & rods till that person dies. It doesn’t matter who is the target. They will give you justification for their evil deeds.

I’m not on the side of the robbers, but I believe those who killed them are far more dangerous people. They have no respect for law, cause they don’t believe in it. They also know they won’t be punished. Those robbers could have been handed over to the police. Even in the past, they didn’t think twice before burning humans alive. Fine. They were robbers, but those who killed them were not gods either.

Declare 'Corrective Rape' a Hate-Crime

"Corrective Rape" is a term used to describe when a male rapes a lesbian with the aim of 'turning' her heterosexual!

This heinous crime is prolific in South Africa, especially in the "townships".

The South African government and justice system are failing the victims of Corrective Rape by letting the perpetrators out on ridiculously low bail, and taking literally years to bring the court-cases to a conclusion. In the meantime the victims have to live with seeing and being taunted and threatened by their rapists every day, as do those who help the victims.

In the last 10 years:

*31 lesbian women have been murdered because of their sexuality

*More than 10 lesbians a week are raped or gang raped in Cape Town alone

*150 women are raped every day in South Africa

*For every 25 men accused of rape in South Africa, 24 walk free

Despite all this, hate crimes on the basis of sexual orientation are not recognised by South African law!

Therefore, please sign up to make sure you that you think corrective rape is also a heinous crime that needs to be dealt with seriously.

The Need for Animal Abuser Registry???

Isn't it time to have records of animal abusers? State of California is urging the state to create a law to register animal abusers because they are criminals too. People are hopeful that California might approve such a law because it the first state in USA to pass a law for registering sex offenders as well.

The goal of the registry, which would list crimes against both pets and farm animals, is to make it easier for shelters and animal-adoption groups to identify people who shouldn't be allowed access to animals. It would also be a boon to law enforcement because animal abuse, the bill's authors' say, often escalates to violence against people. Abuses covered in the bill would include the malicious and intentional maiming, mutilation, torture, wounding or killing of a living animal. It would also target pet hoarders and operators of animal-fighting rings (such as dog-baiting and cockfighting) who have felony convictions.

So let's hope this is done. It's a good move and it is as important as any crime is done against humans. These people should be accountable for the animal abuse they have done.

Those were some days!

I’m not at all nostalgic, but due to some hilarious happening today…I recalled what we guys did as teenagers. Beyond any reasonable doubt, teenage years are the most fun years of your life…at least my experience had been so.

When we were in 9th grade, our Math teacher was the one who taught Biology to the Cambridge section for a long time. Naturally she had not much knowledge of Math. She couldn’t conduct anything to us. All the 3 sections were quite pissed off. Once we all got really bad marks in the test. Many even flunked. Before the next test, we all had a meeting & we decided to stay back at home & missed the 2nd test. Most of us didn’t come with the exception of few. There are such people everywhere. Although they were right, but they weren’t with us & that’s what mattered. We didn’t believe in things like…if you’re not with us, you are against us. We didn’t have time for that. Anyway our Chemistry teacher gave us all a good piece of her mind. She said that we went on a strike. We acted like hooligans. Although we did complain from time to time, but we were never taken seriously as we didn’t have to give the Math exam in the 9th grade. Even today I do find it funny.

The second incident is the one that happened in college. We were in 1st year. We had to vote for the CR. We all did massive rigging & the girl from our school became the CR. It seems unbelievable now. But one is capable of all sorts of things. It was funny even at that time & it seems funny now.

Oh boy I haven’t missed that person for a long time!

Bullies are all around us

Moliere

I was horrified after reading the ordeal of a 14-year old girl named Nadia Dorrington. It’s one of the cases of bullying. In fact, 4 schoolgirls have been suspended as they were the culprits & a police probe is underway after a video of Nadia Dorrington being bullied appeared on YouTube. The shocking clip depicted a gang of cruel bullies punching & kicking the victim & pulling out her hair. Others were jeering & calling her abusive names. I don’t know the crazy story behind it, as it was not reported. Maybe it’s not yet known. Anyway, the victim was left with cuts & bruises to her face & bald patches on her head from where clumps of her hair had been pulled out. To humiliate her further, the footage had been uploaded on the website under the title “Fighting a Dirty Bitch.” The video had been removed, however.

Bullying is not a shocking phenomenon. Bullies are all around us. We come across assholes & bitches on a daily basis. Some are really fucked up & we call them bullies. I once read that bullies have low self-esteem & due to some inferiority complex, they bully others & it actually makes them feel good. Nevertheless, there is no justification for being so evil & vile. And if they want to feel extremely good, they can masturbate using knifes or pieces of broken glasses. That would be more of an exotic experience. Why inflict pain on others? Do that on yourselves.

Anyway only the victim can shed some light on the level of humiliation & insult that she has suffered at the hands of these monsters. I’m amazed while typing ‘Fighting with a Dirty Bitch’ they didn’t add ‘by fucking lunatics’ who are too low for even the word low. Even if some serious action is taken against the culprits (they are only suspended & that’s nothing), the damage on the psyche of the victim has been done. Whenever she would look back, how is she going to feel about this episode?

Some of my friends & I too had been victims of cyber-bullying. Now my story is not like Nadia’s ordeal, but nevertheless I want to share it as cyber-bullying is a crime as well & the culprits never rot in jails. There was a gang who used to send us fake ids on a daily basis. Since we were not 14, it wasn’t that horrible an experience. They used to tell us everything what they thought after reading our scraps & comments on the communities at Orkut. Our accounts used to get hacked every now & then. Every day they used to send us dirty profiles. A couple of time, I seriously had the urge to puke. We used to get abusive scraps. There was no restriction & so anyone could insult you on your scrapbook. If you thrown one fake profile on your ignore list, they used to send another. It was a pretty bad phase, cause there was no way to control what was going on.

You see what you want to see; whatever you are capable of seeing. And you also give people what you have. If you only have animosity, then you can only pass that on. Even at Facebook, fake ids by our names used to add us. I don’t know what was the point. Anyhow, it was definitely easier to bully us on the net.

The fact is bullying is an abuse & a crime. Again scars don’t go away. Naturally it’s far more difficult for a younger person to take this & deal with it in a positive way. In our case, those immature adults were behaving as 14 year-old retards.

You may hate & you can hate someone for the rest of your miserable life. But what difference would that make? You’re nobody & you would remain that for us. I don’t see any justification for stooping down to that level from where you won’t ever get up. By telling someone what you think of them, you are only highlighting your own complexes & fears. If you think bad of me, tell yourself, don’t tell me. You’ve got to convince yourself first. By telling me all this, you are giving me importance & I don’t attach too much significance to importance of any sort. Alright.

It’s the choices that we make define us. One must choose wisely. I truly do not have time for people who hate me & are jealous of me. However, when I think of this particular teenager, I feel really bad. Right now I’m writing all this, but even I’m going to forget about her & so will you.

I believe God doesn’t forsake anyone, but He tests us from time to time. However, when I read such stories, which I do almost every day…I often wonder why doesn’t the world end now? We have authentic lunatics all around us who are ever ready to devour anyone who is weaker than them. Throwing dirt at someone’s character doesn’t make anyone superhero. Reducing anyone to dirt doesn’t make anyone God. Nobody is invincible & by nobody, I mean not a single person on this planet. And you’re certainly mistaken, if you think you are something of the sort. Everyone gets a wake up call sooner or later.

I don’t know if life gives you a second chance…I don’t know if miracles happen…All I know is that strength within you can never let you down. And yes, what you think of yourself is far more important that what others are saying about you. Don’t let them do this to you.

“I don’t regret the difficulties I experienced; I think they helped me to become the person I am today.”
