A serious miscarage of justice and a victory for the far left fanatics

Megan isn't the same. All she needed to do was turn off her computer and get off Facebook, instead of reading those letters and emails she knew would upset her.

 

What? Does the government film people having sex and then show everyone else? Of course not, so your comparison is idiotic at best.

 

Not just that...but the amount of time it takes to spread is crazy. In the time the video was made to the time of death...it's a probably guarantee that all his friends/family etc saw the video...among many more I'm sure.

That's how bullying cases have gotten so out of control as of late...word of mouth takes time to spread...but with the click of a button...hundreds of people can be updated within a few seconds...

 

I was not the one to bring this up, another poster did. I agree that people should simply use the ignore function, however I believe in this case the person harassing her was getting around that (by making new accounts). I'm pretty sure this was a real case of harassment, though honestly I haven't looked into it enough, I was just giving information back to a poster.

 

They may not however our government does take nude scans or physically touch you at random simply because you wish to board an airplane. That's very intrusive and certainly a violation of privacy. If a private entity were to do this people would be outraged, but since it's the government doing it no one gives a (*)(*)(*)(*).

 

Not trying to pick on you as a poster; this we actually agree on. I don't know how it is coming out of the closet, not being gay myself. However I would have to believe it would not be easy. While acceptance is up, you never know how people will react. I don't know his situation, but honestly given how things are, I doubt people would have cared. Then again apparently people like myself and my friends are quiet rare; we don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) and judge everyone as a jack ass until proven otherwise. I, nor any of my friends, would care if one of us ended up being gay. I mean (*)(*)(*)(*), one of my friends ended up being

 

More than the laws, many of the mandatory sentences are inappropriate. Sometimes people who are legally guilty of a crime deserve a lesser sentence; but mandatory sentences impose a penalty without consideration of extenuating factors.

 

Yep I completely agree. Mandatory minimum sentencing is a terrible thing and should not exist to begin with.

 

I haven't read back through the thread to see if anybody has mentioned this or not, but Rhavi hasn't been sentenced yet. 10 years is the maximum sentence he could get when he's sentenced in May.

 

No way he will get anywhere close to 10 years.

It was an illegal thing to do, but nowhere close to justify such a sentence.

The boy that killed himself surely had some previous psychiatric issues, normal person would not commit suicide over such video. Gross invasion of privacy it is, but nothing more. That hate crime charge sounds like BS to me.

 

So violent sexual assault and violent rape deserve LESS jail time than posting a video.

Thank you for being so honest as a liberal.

It really is unbelievable to think that malice in your mind is worse than violent rape.

 

Actually you didn't. You keep running away from it.

 

Because you supported this ruling and the time given.

Its not that complicated.

 

I agree that this kid deserves less jail time, but I cant help that think the right's outrage stems more from the fact that this involves a homosexual, than actual injustice.

 

Name ONE lie Dave. Just ONE.

I never said he was sentenced to it.

Try reading next time.

Just another lie on your part.

[qupte]The senencing is a couple months away. He IS an alien.[/quote]

Once again never disputed that. You would do well to actually read what was stated.

Based on what Dave? Your say so? LOL

Thats right. We don't believe posting a video of some guy making out is worthy of a jail sentence longer than someone who commits violent rape.

But thats us. You go right ahead and continue to embarrass yourself.

 

And of course you base that off noting but your own bigotry.

Typical liberal position.

 

That's not how it works. Lets run through some logic here.

Your logic:
I support the guy being given a 10 year sentence for what he did.
My view on how long people should be jailed for murder is unknown
Therefore I'm for this guy going to jail longer than a murderer

Correct logic:
I support the guy being given a 10 year sentence for what he did.
My view on how long people should be jailed for murder is unknown
Therefore you don't know if I think murderers should get more or less time.

It's not that complicated.

 

Did you go to school for law? Are you a lawyer or police officer or judge?

 

Um both Megan and this gay person had their privacy spread around by their harassers and made public , both cases are exactly the same other than one was done by video and the other was done by spreading around private remarks.

So get off it, bot were cases of uncalled for harassment. What makes it worse for Megan is that she was a target of a grown woman . But don't get me wrong as both cases are very messed up and both deserve their due justice. Just sad that certain people want to say one is more important than the other because of demographics.

 

I highly doubt this would even be a story if it weren't for the homosexual aspect, give me a break

 

yeah it's absurd. he's not responsible for the person's death. He should be responsible for video taping something without permission or harassment, but this is pathetic. That's like saying that if you call someone fat and they kill themselves you should go to prison.

 

So just so it's clear, if a tabloid photographer writes a story on Paris Hilton and calls her slut and Paris kills herself, this guy should go to jail for 10 years too?

I'm against bullying and I'm for protecting gays, but you can't really blame someone for another's suicide. Not entirely. Should the websites that showed this video (the owners and employees) also go to jail as well. For how long? 5 years? 7 years?

 

It's unbelievable to think you have to actually make up things you wish someone had said, attribute it to them and then insult them for what you wish they'd said. Pathetic.

 

This situation is FAR from "calling someone fat".

And that is what the hate crime law is saying.

The criminal IS responsible for breaking the law and videotaping the other kid, and just like when a minor infraction like running a stop sign turns into manslaughter when you run over a kid crossing the street, this criminal's lawbreaking turned into something MAJOR when he NOT only recorded the sex acts, but was organizing "viewing parties" by schoolmates so they ALL could laugh at him and precipitated suicide.

 

A. Paris Hilton is a public figure who exposes her personal life regularly.

B. This guy was the victim's ROOMMATE, and betrayed his access to the roommate's life.

C. If someone filmed Paris Hilton having sex without her permission, they COULD get 5 years in jail in many states. Its a serious crime. and also can get you a lifetime on the sex offenders registry, too.

And of course, this guy is NOT going to do the MAXIMUM sentence of 10 years.

This thread is a STUPID LIE!
