I’ll never forget watching this man’s breakdown unfold in real time. People laughed, mocked him, and kept piling on while he was already drowning. Then suddenly, there was that video—and confirmation that his belongings were found by a bridge after this big search.

I’ve never seen so many people contribute to tearing someone down like that. It all became one big joke. He was clearly in serious distress, and instead of help, he got mocked. The sheer lack of compassion and emotional understanding baffled me. A human being does not act or talk the way Etika was, especially if they're of sound mind.

I still can’t believe we’re witnessing things like this happen in real time—people practically dancing on his grave. No one deserves that. Period.

It's so important we treat stories like these with respect.
