On Sept. 3, a young man confessed to killing another man while driving in Ohio more than two months earlier. But this didn’t happen in a courtroom—not yet. Instead, he taped a confession, got together with becauseisaidiwould.com, a website that asks users to fulfill their promises, and posted it to YouTube.

The brief, dramatically edited video starts off with a young man, his face blurred out and his voice distorted, saying “I killed a man.” His left arm is streaked with a scar. He recalls being out with friends, drinking heavily and hopping between bars around Columbus, just trying to have a good time. The man relies on alcohol to avoid his struggle with depression, he says, “to get out of my head for a few hours.”
