Purdue graduate student Vikram Buddhi was convicted of 11 counts of using the Internet to threaten to harm President Bush and Vice President Cheney...
I don't think this will do much to impact the free speech on the Internet debate because this guy was a complete imbecile to make these kinds of threats--even if they were only in jest, these sorts of "speeches" are not afforded Constitutional protection especially at this age.
But anyway, this year has proved to be embarassing to both the East Asians and South Asians in terms of legal troubles and scandals... A couple weeks ago, former UC Riverside student Audley Yung threatened to blow up the Riverside campus in order to delay graduation ceremonies. Now it appears that Vikram has upped the ante...
Place your bets: which model minority will take up more space on the police blotter this year? East Asians or South Asians.
The tally of Model Minority scandals...
East Asians
Joseph Cho
Kenneth Eng
9 Duke MBA students expelled for cheating (15 others suspended, received failing grades)
Azia Kim and Elizabeth Okazaki
Audley Yung
South Asians
Anand Jon
Vikram Buddhi
Richard Gere kissing debacle
