I make people here mad I'm sure, but Jon Hamm (and a couple of other frat brothers) were part of a horrific hazing event back in the 90's.  Moreso, physical brutality, which also included setting a pledges pants on fire.  Very graphic.  Unbelievable.

I thought his acting was superb in Mad Men, which is really the only thing I've ever seen him in. 

Thought he was good looking, too, in an old fashioned kind of way. 

But when I read that about him, whoa.  Something very dark and creepy for someone to have that kind of meaness in them.

@Lucky Charm @Snoopp  I've read about a number of kids dying from hazing over the past few years. I'm surprised people are surprised about this one. The stories have been in the news. I thought maybe colleges would do away with the fraternitys and sororities. They haven't served a purpose for a long time. There are plenty of people that do these horrible things. Jon Hamm just happens to be famous. The other ones need to be brought to the public's attention....like the ones who killed this kid.

The prevailing attitude is "yeah, I did that in college; kids have been doing that forever-kids will be kids." There certtainly are too many colleges and universities even today that do not take these incidents seriously enough.  They spout their "policy" and say how they extend their condolences to the grieving families.  A lot of good that does if your kid is one of the dead victims.

The whole situation is just sad.  My heart goes out to his parents.

If he was from a college, my money's on it was hazing.  Just like Loyallya College.  Those girls were in a car crash, they were beaten and were forced to beat each other.  The colleges, just like everything else is just a big facade like clean white washed tombs but inside full of dead men's bones.....

@Lucky Charm   I had to look this up-and his "bummer" remark shows a complete lack of remorse.

What a horrible story.

This is such a sad story. A tragedy that should not have happened.

My heart goes out to the family, a tragic loss of a young life with so much promise.

It's sad that people will take advantage of other people who are just wanting to fit in and be accepted.
