I find it sad to know that someone stood there and twittered the whole event while I had to sit and watch my boyfriend die. Next time, why don't you try to get help (since you obviously knew that it took a long time for medical to show up) instead of standing there and giving the world a play by play.

Sorry for your loss, zambonikat.

WOW D-Bag. What kind of a person stands around to tweet about something like this? What made you think...for even a moment...that someone would want to read about how he turned blue or that it "doesnt look good"? You are a sick sick individual. Like zambonikat said...why didnt you try to go get help instead of watching the minutes tick by? I realize that you werent the only one gawking but you put it out there in a public forum as entertainment. That is sick. I really hope you gain some compassion...or a life. A person with either one of these wouldnt have posted this.
I also hope you realize that his friends and family have seen this. Think about what you write and how it might affect people before you post. On top of their grief they didnt need a play by play for the world to see.
