[Kuya]

Nobody cares, fairy.

I heard they actually have really good parties, they have one of the nicest frat houses on campus. That's not really saying much at Rutgers though.

lol

Roommate is a dick, but there are zero legal grounds for a manslaughter charge and what they've thrown at him is a stretchhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Sorry for the necrobump, but the guy who recorded the gayness was convicted on all 15 counts:

(CNN) -- A former Rutgers University student convicted of spying on and intimidating his gay roommate says he was not bullying his roommate and he doesn't hate gay people.

"He knew I wasn't trying to intimidate him and scare him because he was gay. I think he understood that," Dharun Ravi, told ABC television network news program "20/20" in several excerpts released on Thursday.

Ravi was found guilty this month of all counts against him -- including invasion of privacy and the more severe charges of bias intimidation -- in a case that thrust cyberbullying and homophobia into the national spotlight.

Ravi is scheduled to be sentenced on May 21. Since prosecutors were able to prove that Ravi's actions were born of a gay bias, the possible sentence doubles from up to five years to 10 years behind bars.

Despite the conviction, Ravi told ABC that the story that has been told about the incident is wrong.

"I felt like I was being used by everybody. They were taking revenge on me, even though what they think happened isn't what happened," Ravi told ABC.

His roommate, Tyler Clementi, an 18-year-old freshman, killed himself in September 2010 by jumping off the George Washington Bridge and into the Hudson River after learning that Ravi had secretly spied on his sexual encounter with another man using a webcam and then sharing the footage.

Clementi's death stirred debate about bullying, with President Barack Obama releasing a videotaped message condemning it. A few months later, New Jersey legislators enacted stricter laws to protect against bullying in schools.

Ravi turned down a plea deal offered by Middlesex County prosecutors that would have allowed him to avoid jail time in exchange for undergoing counseling, doing 600 hours of community service and disposing of any information that could identify the man who appeared in the Web video with Clementi.

Prosecutors also offered to help him avoid deportation, though they said they could not guarantee it.

Ravi, who had been studying on a visa at the New Jersey university, did not testify on his own behalf.

Unrelated but if you do like 600 hours of community service, can you just put that shit on your resume and just not mention it was community service? That's alot of experience.

America has Texas. The end.

The 4 major cities in Texas are cool with gays. It's the rest of the state that is dumb.

When will gays realize that suicide is what the anti gay people want?

Did anyone watch this story last night?

In the US alot of employers check your background to see if you've ever been convicted of a crime. Idk if the plea thing shows up on your record as a conviction since my record is clean, but if it does you not listing it would really not matter. Also turning down 600 hours of community service when the alternative is 5-10 years in jail is fucking stupid. Even if it wasn't done via gay bias, his actions were done as a joke and resulted in someones death, he was gonna get something.

What I meant was, can you use community service on your resume. lol

[hey]

What I meant was, can you use community service on your resume. lol

I think your actual question is whether or not court ordered community service can be used on a resume.

I can't imagine why not.

[NynJa]

Turning down 600 hours of community service and counseling (which is just a waste of time anyways) is fucking stupid when you're getting 5-10 years behind bars. even 1 hour a day of community service gets done in less than 2 years, and you dont have to worry about jailrape...what a dumbass.

The follow up question is what will get you.

"So, that's a significant amount of community service. What exactly motivated you?"

"Dodging pris...er because I sure do love giving back the community that nurtured and raised me to the young adult I am today."

hahaha

Why do you think he had two choices and chose jail over community service? He had a choice of community service or going to trial and trying to get off. He took a gamble and lost, he didn't choose 5-10 years in jail.

[NynJa]

hate crime induced stresser caused someone to commit suicide...what was he expecting the outcome to be?

[Ratatapa]

Kinda sad i saw the thread title then Nynja has last poster

Ah well

True, but with so many charges against him and quite a bit of evidence, there was a good chance he would likely be convicted of at least one charge, meaning a harsher sentence than community service and potential deportation.

Not necessarily. He definitely should have taken the plea, but he certainly had a chance of getting off with nothing/slap on the wrist.
