Follow-up to Smarmie Doofus' post: Breaking - 30 Days In Jail For Dharun Ravi

30 Days In Jail For Dharun Ravi

Noting his lack of a prior arrest record and the unlikeness that he will re-offend, today a New Jersey judged sentenced former Rutgers student Drarun Ravi to only 30 days in jail and probation in the case of the suicide of his gay roommate Tyler Clementi. More on the sentencing will follow shortly in this post.

I've heard of Judges sentencing like they were "giving away candy" before, but in this case it seems to apply literally...

Was there any other swag in that gift basket Ravi was sent home with?

...but this sentence is on the other extreme. By contrast, and considering that his actions directly led the the death of another human being, this sentence is like receiving no punishment at all. Tyler's life was worth more than this.

Disgusting and shameful, every bit of it.
