Some of you might remember this thread:

http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/103597-rutgers-student-suicide-over-hidden-cam.html

If not, here's the story:

- Two male roommates.
- One sets up a webcam, and films the other having a "same-sex" encounter with another man.
- The stream is released online.
- The filmed roommate jumps off a bridge to his death.


Update from today:

Roommate charged with hate crime in NJ suicide - Yahoo! News

The roommate has been charged with a hate crime. Possible 5 to 10 years.

Good grief. This makes as much sense as this bullshit.
 


now ravi's gonna get raped in prison .... wonder if it will be leaked online?

this clown deserves more than than 10 years
 
Serves him right, with a five to ten stretch it will give him time to reflect, just how hateful and despicable he was to do such a thing.

Once behind bars, he may get his mind changed for him about same sex encounters.
 
Hate crime? The only person hating gays in that room was the gay who killed himself because he couldn't come to terms with the interwebs knowing his gayness. gay.
 
Just because you've been charged doesn't mean you'll get sentenced. If you want to have sex with a man in private don't do it in a room you share with someone else.
 
I once filmed myself having a sexual encounter with a female that ended up having a pretty busted face back in college.

I felt sick when i went back and watched it and had to puke out the window of my dorm room.

Should I turn myself in because i committed a hate crime on myself?
 
That's a pretty huge invasion of privacy, setting up a hidden webcam with the intent of filming your roommate in a dorm.

Granted it is a shared dorm room - but when you are alone in your dorm room, you have some expectation of privacy.

And to top it off, he posted it online? How could you surprised by the fact he was charged with a hate crime?
 
Some of you seriously think 5-10 is a just punishment for someone who filmed someone else in their room having sex and releasing it????

You're fucked!!!
 
The kid who filmed it obviously deserves to be punched in the dick and maybe some jail time, but I think the main takeaway - and issue - is that if the kid hadn't suicided his roommate probably wouldn't have ever gotten in any more trouble than some disciplinary hearing at the University.

I bet 90% of that ruling - literally 9/10 of those years - are entirely due to the suicide & media response.

And I can't blame the douchebag for the other kid's suicide...
 
There a camera's filming everywhere we go now a days. If your going to kill yourself if someone finds out what your doing, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. This guy who filmed it probably wanted something to wack off to so he filmed it. Doesnt mean its a hate crime.
 
again, overzealous prosecutors who have to hang the kid for something. they knew no real charges would stick, so they claim it was a hate crime. This country is fucked. Dude is a douche, but the gay kid obviously had some mental issues. If he was in the mindset that killing himself would fix things, then chances are he had contemplated it or even attempted it before.

If this isn't a troll post...

You're a fucking moron.
 
I must be a moron. But why don't you enlighten us all and explain how 10 years is an appropriate punishment for filming someone having sex and releasing it.
 
the whole idea of hate crimes is ridiculous.

Say I hate you because you are an asshole and I punch you in the face. How is that different than if I hate you because you are white and female and I punch you in the face. Either way, I committed a crime and you got punched in the face. My supposed motivations should not make that crime into an additional crime.
