They didn't date, they just shared a class.
He stalked her. She got a restraining order. He followed her to Massachusetts.
Today, he turned himself, asking a convenience store clerk to call the police when he "saw his face on the front page."

@Calraigh: Spare me the "all men suck and hate women" nonsense.

So most men are not accepting of misogynistic bigotry? Most men don't find rape or domestic violence to be a source of amusement? Then why is it almost universally men who commit these crimes, targeting women and girls, at epidemic levels?
I get that you're against technical absolutes, fine, but she (?) was trying to get at a larger issue here: the culture of anti-female hate that men, in general, are strongly complicit in. Yes, women engage in misogyny as well, but men are way more influential in changing the culture that produces these gender crimes en masse. Especially, since it's overwhelmingly men who commit them and men look to other men to model their behavior.

It's a famous quote and you know why? Because it's true.

But this one talent of the man was played down by the Administration's agenda-setters -- since it could have given Saddam Hussein ideas, or something.
In a way, this might be the most damning indictment of that eight-year horrorshow: Aside from all the things they got wrong, they didn't even know when they got something right.

Was I the only one, though, who got to this line: "So someone says, 'I'm despondent and I want to commit suicide,' or 'I have a life-threatening illness and I need help here,' " Mr. Kelleher said. "We immediately respond to those." and thought of Gawker's star of the moment? Hope they keep up with Brooklyn grifters ...

Personally, I took my fever-having, PJ-clad self out to my stoop and listened to the shouts, horns, and sirens. I started to cry and spilled my TheraFlu and thought about calling my mother, and some German-seeming tourists took a picture of me from across the street. I'll admit that I took some pains to make the happy, hopeful, relieved nature of my tears plain to make their picture that much more meaningful. Then a random guy game up to me and said, "How old are you? Can I get your number? Maybe we could hang out sometime! And talk!" and the homeless guy who I'm always kind of sad about but also afraid of rounded the corner and either there wasn't anything to cry about anymore or else it was going to be a different kind of tears so I went back inside and read some Gawker and went to bed, looking forward to saying "Good morning!" to everyone tomorrow and meaning it in a different, special way.
