It's appalling men and women have died for far less to defend our freedom.
"Hate" is NOT a criminal act!
As I just said it wasn’t a hate crime, it was a bias crime and the judge noted the distinction.
I think both are bad ideas, hate and bias crimes. The conduct itself should be criminal but not the individual bias or hate.
In this case invasion of privacy. Why should a hetero kid who is spied on not have the identical legal protections? Seems fair to me.
Right, all hate crime legislation needs to be repealed.
It creates different penalties for the same offense base on who the victim is.
This is a cornerstone of the sodomite agenda, to go beyond legalizing sodomy and establish themselves as a protected class.
The video in this case merely shined the light of day on the sodomites acts, causing him shame and guilt.
If the visitor in the room videotaped having sex with the roomate was a woman, undoubtedly there would have been no case as this would have been considered simply a college prank with unintended consequences.
If the roomate subsequently jumped off a bridge after a sex video of him with a woman was circulated, everyone, IMHO even his family, would simply have questioned his mental state. For a man to be driven to suicide by a video of a tryst with a woman would be extremely odd; I’ve never heard of such a case and I’d be curious to know if there ever has been a case of an unmarried man committing suicide over being spied on when having sexual relations with an unmarried woman where both people were unattached in any relationship and were both consenting in the act.
This entire case reeks of the putrid stench of the lawyers, politicians and lobbyists of America imposing state-enforced perversion on all American citizens.
While Ravi’s circulating of the video was in poor taste, and he should simply have refused to room with this man (since whatever difficulties that brought to him would have been far less then those he finds himself mired in now), he clearly is being hung out to dry by the sodomite lobby and the complicit NJ judicial system.
