Darlings, A Jail Bird Has Flown The Coop!!!!!!!!!!!!

                            Girls, I am telling you, you might as well just have slipped Dahrun Ravi one of these, as he was released from jail yesterday, after spending barely twenty days in the slammer.  Now it remains to see
if he does the 300 hours of community service allotted to him, the hours of lifestyle tolerance classes, and if
he will benefit from such, though I doubt it.  As for the $10,000 fine he has to pay, you can bet Daddy and Mommy have that on tap for him already!!!!!!!!!!

                               What I really hope for Dahrun Ravi at this point is that he simply disappears.  From the media, from the spotlight, and into an obscurity he better belongs in, and we are better for having him in, having unfortunately gotten to see what he was like in the first place.  I have my doubts there, too, as he seems to crave the spotlight too much.  And while we may not hear about any more criminal activity on his part, it IS fairly certain, reports of his future exploits will be charted--either to deride or, as seems to be the case, glorify him.

                                His jail sentence was a farce.  So is his mandatory punishment, which I am not so sure he will fulfill.  What kind of fate would have been meted out by the court had everything about this case in place be the same--except that the victim was straight???? Even if you add the suicide factor, would it have made a difference???? You better believe it would have--this guy would have had the book thrown at him???  But a burgeoning gay young man  of artistic sensibility????? Why do we need one of those in this world?, according to Judge Berman.

                                 So, yes, I am angry.  And spent.  Yet there is something Dahrun Ravi can do for all
of us, himself included.

                                   He can banish into obscurity, and keep his mouth shut!!!!!!!!!!!
