Since the tragedy of Tyler Clementi committing suicide, many in the US feel that his roommate should be charged for committing a hate crime against him. Dhuran Ravi taped Clementi and another male together and posted the video on his Twitter for his friends to see. After finding out what happened, Clementi jumped off the George Washington Bridge on September 22, 2010. This problem caused an uproar that is sweeping the nation. Students here at Frostburg share their own opinions on how Ravi should be charged.
Tiegan Hauser a Social Science Junior from Frederick, Maryland agrees with most of American saying, "Yeah he [Ravi] should be charged for a hate crime. What he did was completely messed up. It was so cruel and it shouldn't have happened."
Though there are differences around campus on what Ravi should be charged with. Louis Mossano an International Business junior from Frederick also gave his opinion as he was raising money for the food bank, “Should he charge for a hate crime? No. All other issues? I support. I don’t think that he [Ravi] did this because his roommate was gay. He was just being an asshole.”
Laura a Pre-Vet freshman from Germany talks about the future and how we can learn from this tragedy more than the legal issues, “No. He should be tried for invading privacy or something. Though the thing society should worried about the most is making sure something like this doesn’t happen again.”
