Thanks to http://studentactivism.net for reminding me of the ongoing case against a teenager whose life is being ruined because of a politically incorrect joke

If Ravi is convicted - of filming his roommate in an encounter with another man - he could get five to ten years "for the charge of bias intimidation alone". See where hate crimes hysteria has led? A student prank can turn into a felony.

The activists who turned Matthew Shepard into a martyr are winning. With few honorable exceptions, the media claimed he was murdered for being gay, and blackmailed people into accepting laws against 'bias' and other vague proscriptions.
