My feelings [in the MPSIMS thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15086516&postcount=100). 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. > [@Secretly recording the gay roommate - an update - Guilty verdict](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/secretly-recording-the-gay-roommate-an-update-guilty-verdict/615988/100): > > [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](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/22/nyregion/rutgers-spying-defendant-sentenced-to-30-days-in-jail.html?_r=1&pagewanted=2) 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_ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dharun-ravi-gets-30-days-oh-really/622639)._
