What Ravi is guilty of a moderately dickish thing, and planning a majorly dickish thing (it's not clear if was actually going to follow through with it) - and yes, if you locked up every 20 year old for that then most colleges would be empty. In short, you're a lousy human being for jumping on the "let's find somebody to blame" bandwagon.
If you were in one of the American Pie movies this was college hijinks. If you were in actual university the least that would happen to you would probably be expulsion. I work at one, and anything that could be considered a hate crime is pretty big deal here.
Have none of you read the article until the end? He probably won't get 10 years. And he already passed up the chance to get out of this with a slap on the wrist, so that's another thing he's done wrong. At this point, since he obviously still thinks that he's done nothing wrong, a year or two in prison might help him think reconsider the actions that led to this point in his life. For all we know he hopes to be deported because he has family elsewhere anyway.
he is not being charged with the death of Tyler Clementi, although the jury was informed of it. And the article did say it would probably be less than 10 years. Have most of you even read the article?

Seems a little small to me
