Jon Carrol Real time

This article by Jon Carrol discusses a new depiction of the popular case regarding the suicide of Tyler Clementi and his suspected antagonist Dharum Ravi. The article states some popular facts, misconceptions and Jons opinion on the matter. He clearly states that Dharum was just a "jerky kid" who was faced with some tough decisions as a mere freshman in college. I think it can also be said that Jon thought it was a poor decision of Dharuns part to turn down the option of community service; rather than being charged for bias intimidation, which is a "charge found more serious than how it sounds on paper." Dharun faces up to 10 years in prison and a possible deportation to his native country of India where he left when he was a small child. Jon brings up some great points reminiscing on his experiences with social media referring to twitter as "cold and unforgiving as the rest of the world." I think one could learn a lot from this article.
