Gay Student Group Calls for Expulsions in Clementi Case

[JI7]

Source: edge boston

A GLBT students’ group has called for the expulsion of two Rutgers University students charged in connection with the suicide of Tyler Clementi.

In an Oct. 7 press release, Campus Pride demanded that school officials at Rutgers expel Clementi’s roommate Dharun Ravi, and also another student, Molly Wei. The two have been charged with invasion of privacy and New Jersey authorities say that the two might face bias crimes charges as well.

At a town meeting in Clementi’s home town of Ridgewood, N.J., Nikomeh Anderson, a friend of Clementi’s, addressed those gathered in Clementi’s memory, the New York Times reported on Oct. 7.

"No one deserves to have their private life made public," Anderson said. "Imagine how violated, embarrassed, angry and ashamed he must have been."

I think they should have been Expelled even if there was no Suicide.

1. Expulsion, my a$$. Those two need to have their asses beat!

[laconicsax]

4. ...which would accomplish what, exactly?

5. You mean like "Up the butt, Bob"? I for one am not advocating

beating - like you would receive in Iran (when they let you off easy). We, on the other hand, are supposed to be a nation of laws are we not? I haven't found the Constitution's "beat their asses" amendment - perhaps you can point that out to us.

(Edited for clarity)

15. I would never waste my time trying to teach anything to someone

who is so obviously as rhetorically and humor challenged as you........

Adjourn to your drawing room.........and stay there.

16. Get off your high horse and stop presuming that you need to

teach anybody anything. I'll infer from your post that you are unaware of the well-known legend from the Newlywed game <http://www.snopes.com/radiotv/tv/newlywed.asp>.

Bob referred to the host Bob Eubanks and it was supposedly in response to a question about the most unusual place the contestants had "made whoopie." Snopes said that legions he sworn they saw this even, which never really occurred,

The quote was never said although one woman did say, "...in the ass?"

Move to the current thread where TheDebbieDee recommended violence as the response to the Rutgers student tragedy.

I disagree, and used the well-known mis-quote to imply that prison rapes are not the answer either. I believe that out prisons turn out many worse that when they arrived and that the sexual preditors play a large part. It must have been too subtle for some to grasp. It's always a risk to presume that people will look something up before pontificating.

So before you advocate violence, or tout your skills in the rhetoric and humor department, you might want to consider researching the context of a post.

Finally, being middle-class, we have no drawing room and the best we could do is entertain in the family room/kitchen areas. You'll just have to let us know how you rich folk live.

Have a nice evening.

17. Blah, blah, blah....................

2. I agree with your last statement.

Their behavior was egregiously inappropriate.
They do not deserve the privileges of a higher education at Rutgers if they are so willing to engage in this kind of cruelty.

3. Wanna prepare people for the workforce? Expel them for what would get anyone fired.

The fact that college and high school students don't get expelled for secretly videotaping their co-students sex acts and publicizing them, or setting up webpages calling them slurs is irresponsible. Wanna be prepared for the world? Don't do shit that would get you fired and arrested if you weren't a sheltered underaged monster.

6. Absolutely agree.

They should be expelled, and it should have already happened. What the hell is the university waiting for?

[JI7]

7. that's what i'm wondering, i understand the legal issues might take time

but i would think anyone caught doing this to another student would get kicked out .

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. You have to go through the process

University time is not the same as other kinds of time.

[JI7]

13. are they even considering it ?

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. If there was a felony arrest related to an act on campus

it's virtually certain that procedures in the residential life office will get triggered, even absent all the publicity.

8. recommend

9. If there wasn't a suicide, they should have been required to broadcast a sex tape of themselves. n/t

[24601]

10. Ah, but first you have to convince someone to have sex with you,

well - without money changing hands.

[Ian David]

11. Not me. Them. With each other. The two who did the hidden camera thing. n/t
