If what they did was illegal, they should be punished. However, they should not be blamed for this kid’s mental illness and it’s result. This kid had mental problems long before he met his insensitive roommate.
Soon gay activists will be blaming anyone who does not celebrate their sex as responsible for the self destructive behaviors and mental illness of gay people. It is overkill to blame the co-eds for his mental illness. Political correctness gone wild.
The problem is the co-eds and many young people are part and parcel of what you call his mental illness. Many young people today have absolutely no problem with homosexuality, bi-sexuality etc... they were playing a game of gotcha with him. It very well may be more to this story than it seems to appear. It may have to do with his love relationship.
