1. Ohh, God... what a horrible creature...

I'm guessing there may be nothing illegal about what he did and with which to charge him, however. :shrug:

2. Speaking of horrible creatures, check out the YouTube comments.

A shocking number of people are arguing that the nurse did nothing wrong and that the problem was with the depressed people he preyed upon.

8. Actually there's a whole bunch of stuff he can be charged with.

Depraved-heart murder comes to mind. It's a 2nd degree murder charge in most states.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depraved-heart_murder">Wikipedia sums it up a lot better than I possibly can.
Short definition if you don't feel like clicking through to Wikipedia and reading the common law examples they cite, copied from Lawyers.com (Don't feel like digging out books.): A murder that is the result of an act which is dangerous to others and shows that the perpetrator has a depraved mind and no regard for human life.

(Terminology varies widely from state to state, so YMMV and all that. I'm also not a lawyer, so I wouldn't take this as gospel.)

6. How the hell do you convince anyone to do anything over the internet????

I mean, I'll buy something.... I need or want already... but

The sex games and this disgusting game... who are the people who fall for it? I mean, It's the internet! That could be anybody on the other end!

His web cam goes wrong??? How do you play a 28 year old woman if your an middle aged man ON A WEB CAM?

They'll be together in the moment? ON THE INTERNET???? TOGETHER???

Cheesus!

It's like the Darwin Awards.

7. The same reason that a con artist can scam

someone using a gag that's 500 years old. It may not work ten times in a row, but there's always someone that's going to fall right into it. And that makes up for the others.

9. Well, now we know...

...exactly who it was who formulated the GOP's health care plan. :thumbsdown:
