My feelings in the MPSIMS thread . I changed Dharun to [Ravi] in my quote block because I thought Ravi was his first name and he doesn’t deserve to be addressed by his first name by me.
[Ravi] is a repugnant person. He reeks of being the popular preppy kid in school who made friends easily and thrived on belittling others. Thirty days in prison isn’t easy, but I fully believe he should’ve gotten a few years, given that Clementi committed suicide because of him (yes, I know there’s no provable connection, but I’m calling a spade a spade here). Clementi had only just started college, and only three weeks into it he was permanently labeled because of the thoughtless and bigoted actions of his roommate.
In the New York Times article about the scentencing, the judge made note of how [Ravi] showed no remorse throughout the entire process. His mother requested light sentencing because is life is just soooooo hard now. He’s had to take online classes because of this. Online classes!
I hope [Ravi] learns a few hard lessons in the slammer. If he had a tough time dealing with a gay roommate before, then it’s probably going to be 30 long, sleepless nights for him.
Little punk. spit
