Recent alum torches New York 9/11 chapel


Recent Harvard Law School alumnus Brian Schroeder ’09 allegedly set fire to a chapel in Lower Manhattan on the morning of October 31st, according to the New York Times. The chapel, located in Memorial Park, at First Ave. and 30th St., houses the remains of unidentified victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The Times and several other New York media outlets that reported on the incident indicate that the remains, which are housed in a climate-controlled vault while they await DNA identification, were not affected, but that cards, flowers, and other mementoes both inside the chapel and posted to a wooden bench in the park, which was damaged, were either stolen or burned.


Schroder, 26, is originally from Texas and received his undergraduate degree from Duke, where he majored in theatre studies. He was co-president of HLS Lambda and served on a task force to assess how to limit the impact of military recruiting on the campus gay community. He also edited the Harvard Latino Law Review and acted in the Parody, a satirical comedy stage show about life at the school. After graduation, Schroeder moved to New York, where he had a start date with a law firm. He had spent the summer of 2008 as a summer associate for the firm Sidley Austin.
He turned himself in to the police on November 1st, and despite allegations of a drunken dare, his motives remain unclear. "Anyone who would set fire to the inviolable Memorial Park chapel is craven and contemptible," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. Charges for arson are currently pending.

life in Americas worst prison should be his punishment. A slow torture works just as fine.

This is clearly a very sick individual.

Neither Harvard nor Duke led this creepazoid to do this despicable thing. Put him away, far away, where we never have to deal with him again.

We can not torture this man so putting him in prison is the next best thing. 15 years in Concord MA. prison should wake him up. If I was the Warden I would make sure that he got at least three beating and two rapes during his first year there. We must stand up and give out justice the way our forefathers would have done it.

He was also a Gay activist, you forgot to defend that as well in your rush to distance his affiliations from his actions.

The title references the Harvard Law Reviews own article. My wonder is how this affects his ability to be a Lawyer?

Knowing how they are, it may not affect his ability one bit. In fact, it may help it in their eyes.

I don't know about how it effects his ability to be a lawyer, but it certainly impacts on his ability to be a decent human being.

I spend a lot of time in court. Following each trial the District Attorney likes to poll the jurors to see what what effected their decisions. It's a review of strategies to see what we did right or wrong. Upon concluding a 6 day trial we had such a review. The defendant's-defense attorney joined in. Several of the jurors said they were clearly swayed upon which lawyer they liked the best. They said the defense attorney was rude, arrogant, and didn't display proper courtroom etiquette, which helped convict is client. One lady remarked the defense screamed at me while I kept my composure as a professional should. Maybe the lawyer received satisfaction from this behavior, but it contributed to sinking his client which is what I truly sought.

Even though the subject of this thread is a Harvard educated attorney, he can't shed his true colors. He's a jerk. Now he's going to be a convicted-felon jerk without a license to practice law.

I used to be a corrections officer in a maximum security prison. They live by a whole different set of rules in there. Strict racial divide, protection rackets, etc., is daily life. I am certain this guy would be a marked man if he goes to the can.

Another fine example of a highly educated IDIOT!!

Though he certainly deserves a long jail time with the friendly neighborhood Bubba. Daddy will come along and rescue him.
