In a legal sense, is with the purpose to intimidate the same thing as wanted to embarrass? What Ravi did was flat-out wrong but I remain puzzled as to what it was he was trying to accomplish by spying on his roommate.
Does anyone know whether Ravi's actions were borne out of homophobia -- an actual fear of homosexuality and/or gay people -- or whether his spying came out of overwhelming curiosity? Not that I agree with Altman's argument that Ravi "hasn't lived long enough to have any experience with homosexuality or gays." I was in high school during the late 1970s and even back then it would have been impossible to graduate without any experience.
I'm sad that Clementi dead, I'm sad for his friends and parents, and I'm troubled by the prejudice against people from India I'm seeing in the comments in articles about the trial.
