But not of a hate crime.
Could have sworn somewhere said guilty of spying, etc but not a hate crime. Went to recheck and couldn't find it. That's why I edited my original post.he was found guilty of bias intimidation (aka: a hate crime)
“There’s no winner here,” said Bill Dobbs, a longtime gay activist and civil libertarian. “There’s a young gay man dead and another one whose life is wrecked to a considerable degree. This case had an overzealous prosecutor … who was pushed by gay organizations that have lost sight of justice."
Marc Poirer, an openly gay professor of law and sexuality at Seton Hall University School of Law in New Jersey, said he was concerned about the verdict, saying it was not a typical bias crime.
“I think that the law didn’t fit very well,” he said, calling Ravi’s actions those of a “dumb 18-year-old” that “went wrong.”
“I think if Clementi had not committed suicide, none of this would have surfaced in this way,” he added. “I don’t want to say it’s a miscarriage of justice. I would say it’s a misapplication of principles that would be better served -- especially if we’re just figuring out how to do this -- with a clearer case.”
You're reading more into it than is there. I'm obviously defective. My eyesight sucks, the bones in my neck are degenerated, and I'm slightly slew footed. I imagine almost everybody in this thread is defective in some form or another. It's an accurate word for the situation. This ties in with the retarded thread. Changing the words doesn't change the facts, or the condition. It can be prettied up by changing the words, but that only lasts a short while. Once people figure out what you're really talking about, the new words carry the same meaning as the old words which worked just as well in the first place.
sorry but its true, i'm not sure what kind of insane universities you've been to, theres no issue with gays, frankly the assumption is almost that 50% of people are gay for this generation at this point, its all glee and the rest, so to pretend like you are living as a black during times of lynching is a total lie. screaming and vitriol are far more likely to be found against causes/groups like israel/israelis than anything gay. http://www.adl.org/main_Anti_Israel/campus_anti_israel_trends_activity.htm
If anti gay movements were anywhere as remotely strong as the israel stuff you would know...its demonization on an entirely different level and you wouldn't be able to ignore it. so to pretend that gays face the same on college campus's is just laughable. whens the last anti gay rally or film screening you've had on a public university campus?
do tell.
Fair sentence I think, as long as he doesn't get deported
Yea. Also people will complain he is going to county jail, not the state pen..
In some jurisdictions the local lock-up is actually a lot worse than a state prison, especially since this guy would probably be in minimum security.
I almost broke down when Dharuns mom was speaking. Not so much when Tylers mom spoke.
