When I heard about this and saw Tyler, I thought he was the kind of kid that anyone would be proud to have for a son. So, so tragic.
I do not approve of hate crime and hate speech laws. If Ravi had put a secret webcam in the room of a female acquaintance and streamed her having sex with a guy, to humiliate and ridicule her, it could have ended just as terribly. Hate crimes elevate some victims over others. These laws need to be challenged and overturned because they violate equal protection under the law.
There have been some other cases where perverts have spied on/video taped people and there were no laws preventing it. I remember being shocked about that.
I'm thrilled this asshole will do time for his despicable stunt, though. I wonder about the girl.
