quote: The four students who allegedly put the video on the Internet are facing a $250,000 lawsuit. It claims Raza has suffered "harassment," "ridicule" and "persecution" at school and in the public at large.
Raza ended up leaving high school and finishing his year in the psychiatric wing of a local hospital.
An employee of Raza's old school says the pressure on the young man was intolerable.
"When 500 people laugh at you every noon when you walk into the cafeteria, it can't be easy," says Rafael Jacob.

Maybe, in 15-20 years' time, these years ('93-'03) will be referred to as the Dark Ages of the Internet.
Actually, I was referencing Pink Floyd Just substitute 'Moon' for 'Internet'

I heard stories 'bout him growin' up on Dantooine...stories 'bout how he once sliced up 12 Stormtroopers right after the other cause they was hasslin' a Rodian. Heard he was wanted in 12 systems & had the death penalty in 16 more, that he'd just as soon spill out your innards on a cantina floor as look at ya...& then go back to his Naboo Fizz without missin' a beat or battin' a lash. Said he'd killed more, seen more, & done more in his life than most people in the Empire ever hear about. One story even said he was almost as powerful as the Emperor himself....maybe more so.
We all knew his tales & we all knew his face. But no one knew his name. He was simply...
...the Jedi Kid.
