Dharun Ravi sentence.......

[04 commemorative]

Opinions?:leaving:

[lspencer534]

Is he the dude that set up the cam?

[NB2K]

Pretty effing weak.

He seem like a POS to me.

[04 commemorative]

yes....could have gotten 10 years maximum and deportation.... got 30 days and three years probation.

[MrPeabody]

Who is that?

[Bill]

Seems fair......the gay kid had bigger issues than being broadcasted having gay sex. He was probably a self loather. The video was not the proximate cause of his death, so we are left with the illegal recording and broadcast. 30 days in the pokie plus the hassle of 3 years of probation is enough to get Ravi's attention and alert others that that behavior is NOT OK.

[Bill]

Who is that?

Kid who sureptitiously recorded his college roomate having gay sex, then posted the video on the internet. The gay kid later commited suicide.

I think it's bullshit.
'The Associated Press reported that Clementi's father, Joseph Clementi, told the judge during the sentencing hearing, "One of Tyler's last actions was to check Ravi's Twitter page" and noted that his son checked his roommate's Twitter page 37 times before leaving the Rutgers campus and driving to the bridge where he jumped to his death."


"The prosecution team wrote that Ravi "has failed to accept any degree of responsibility for the numerous criminal acts he committed, and shows no remorse for the same, despite significant evidence pointing directly at him."

In your opinion, what do you think a fair sentence would have been? Also, do you see the video as the proximate cause of Clementi's suicide?

[kingpin]

I guess it depends if you think he was part of the reason for the suicide or not.

I don't think they were having sex from what I read.
They were just kissing.

[Stangkiller]

That kids suicide should have no effect to the poster of the video. He was in a shared dorm room, he should have had no expectation to privacy.

I don't see how Ravi is responsible for any of it.

[NB2K]

It doesn't have a damn thing to do with him being gay or not gay.
It also has less to do with him committing suicide after he found out what his homophone roommate had done. (jealous, maybe?)



It has everything to do with an intimate invasion of privacy and a wussified, ignorant judge.

Deport the little POS and be done with it.

They were room mates in a shared room :confused5: There is no privacy in those settings, which is why I refused to live in a dorm.

He taped him w/o permission and then posted it.

While I understand it is a shared room, I am sure nobody expects to be taped and put on the web.

[Joecooool]

I think he should have gotten more time. He has shown zero remorse for what he did. I think three years would have been about right.

:confused5: I'm not convinced he did anything wrong. Why should he show remorse?

Isn't there a law about leaving a camera on....spying on someone there though.

I don't see how Ravi is responsible for any of it.

:iagree:

I disagree. If the roomate is not actually in the room, then there is an expectation of privacy, or at least privacy with the possibility of being walked in on. A hidden video recorder? I don't think it's reasonable to expect that in your dorm room.

I couldn't give a rat's ass about gay peep's privacy, but, yes, there is usually an expectation of privacy from surreptitious watching or filming, or that act has been codified by providing punishment. This is governed by State law, however; in some States it's a felony, even between husband and wife. So, you don't neccesarily have to answer the question of whether there is an expectation of privacy in all instances.

....what is the difference between privacy.....of anyone of any lifestyle..?

[lspencer534]

....what is the difference between privacy.....of anyone of any lifestyle..?

Absolutely none, legally. It was just my personal opinion about gays. BTW, I'm not that easily suckered in. :rofl:

[kylebuck]

So a guy who liked other guys was caught by his room mates camera in the arms of another guy? Video was taken with out his consent then was posted online to presumably make fun of said homosexual room mate. Room mate then kills himself after this because of this. This is where I have trouble understanding how the room mate is responsible for guys suicide. Yes he made an attempt to make fun of him for being gay. The guy who was into guys, that's his thing then why commit suicide over something your into. For gods sake I live in the south and we aren't that damn prejudice towards that shit. Hell I don't agree with the lifestyle but I don't hate gays. Most college campuses are more open to alternative life styles than the uneducated parts of the regions

[Mike Mercury]

the gay college student must of thought his lifestyle was weird; and felt ashamed.

if a straight college dude was secretly videotaped with a female co-ed... the dude would of posted the video himself... proudly.
