Dharun Ravi found guilty of all 15 charges in the death of his roommate after webcam spying

This is the case where this guy played video of his Rutgers roommate on the internet while having sex with another man. The roommate later committed suicide.

The charges were hate crime related.

Sentencing could be up to 10 years in prison followed by deportation.

The jury found he was knowingly doing this to intimidate based on sexual preference.

Good.

I think this is an important precedent. It is a case with hate based on sexual orientation and bullying at its core.

1. Good - lock this asshole up and throw away the key.

Actually, apparently the guy's destined to be deported back to India after he serves his sentence.

2. Good. May the lesson be learned.

Well now, if "hate based crimes" became the universal law of the land, there's thousands of primitives who'd be looking at Skins's island through barred windows.

3. His behavior was disgusting.

Happy to see he was found guilty.

Of course, I am too, but not because of the victim's queerness; rather because it's not nice to pry on other people like that.

If the victim were queer and trying to stay in the closet, the DUmmies would be the first to try to out him any way they could....including a spy cam. And they would find absolutely nothing wrong with their actions.

According to them you must be .....

LOUD AND PROUD

WE'RE QUEER, WE'RE HERE, GET USED TO IT

...and so forth.
