Summary
Mark Zuckerberg has filed a restraining order against his stalker, Pradeep Manukonda. Manukonda has repeatedly tried to speak with Mark Zuckerberg by means of letters, e-mail, Facebook and actually going to his house. He has sent over 20 messages in one day, says Facebook security officer Todd Sheets. Manukonda left letters on Zuckerberg's car and later that day was stopped from going up Zuckerberg's stairs by security. Zuckerberg's girlfriend was inside at the time. Manukonda claims to want to speak with Zuckerberg about his mother who is ill, he says that Zuckerberg can save her and that he is "willing to die" (-Manukonda) for Zuckerberg's help. At the end of the same letter he stated "I am waiting outside your house." The restraining order applies to Zuckerberg, his girlfriend and his sister.
Response
I feel as though Manukonda initially had good intentions but took it too far. he wants to help his ill mother and thinks that Zuckerberg can help pay for the treatment, being a famous millionaire. Manukonda at first tried to reach Zuckerberg but when he did not reply he continued this. It's odd that he is so persistent about needing to speak with Zuckerberg. I think that is raises the suspicion that the sick mother is just a ploy to meet with Zuckerberg for some other reason, for if he only wanted money from a millionaire to help his sick mother he could try many of the other various millionaires in California. I think that he is just a freaky stalker who wants to meet with Zuckerberg for god knows what reason. Zuckerberg was in the right to get the restraining order for himself, his sister and his girlfriend. Who knows what Manukonda may be plotting?
