Sophia Rosing was banned from the University of Kentucky campus after the incident

A college student who went on a drunken tirade using the n-word 200 times will now head to jail for a year.

Sophia Rosing, a former student at the University of Kentucky, became infamous in 2022 for her rant that was captured on video and shared on social media. In the video, Rosing was caught using the slur at a fellow student and assaulting her.

Rosing previously pleaded guilty to four counts of fourth-degree assault and other charges. When she entered her plea, she apologized to fellow student Kylah Spring and members of the Black community.

This week, a judge in Kentucky sentenced Rosing to 12 months in custody and 100 hours of community service, according to Lex 18.

In the infamous video Spring said that Rosing struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach. As Spring is explaining what happened to her, Rosing can be heard yelling at her in the background, calling the Black student the n-word and a “b****” throughout the footage.

Watch her get out in a year and be invited to go on the Republican lecture circuit to talk about how woke politics is ruining American college campuses.

This isn’t a joke, I seriously think this will happen.

She’s pretty and blond and an idiot. She’ll be on Fox News as a host shortly after.

At this point, i genuinely trust that could be a realistic outcome. That episode may have been her very own Rittenhouse Moment™ putting her on conservative radars across the country

Interesting that the Independent made sure to mention that this student was drunk not once, but twice, as if that were an excuse.

No one says that word when drunk if they wouldn’t be willing to say it out loud in certain company.

Her being drunk is relevant to reporting the truth. They’re not excusing her actions but giving context. As you pointed out, she may never have said these slurs in her open life, but she was probably thinking them and alcohol greased the wheels on her racism.

That’s some serious grease. To go from zero n-words sober to two hundred times drunk?

Nah, it’s pretty normal.

You see it a lot with people who are generally seen as “nice people” when not drunk and then turn into very violent people when the are drunk (a member of my family was like that).

A lot of people run around with pretty nasty issues that they do not act on because of social inhibitions and/or awareness of the social consequences of acting on those, and alcohol lowers those inhibitions and the “think twice before you open your mouth” that makes people take those secondary implications they’re aware of into account - alcohol just takes away the internal overseer that was stopping them to be who they really are.

This is not excusing their actions: when not drunk those people are NOT nice inside, they just act nicer than they are because they know the consequences of doing otherwise and don’t want to feel social shame, or in other words their being “nice” is just a mask and they’ll probably act on those not nice things in their minds if they feel they can get away with it (IMHO, this is why some people who are nice, meek and even submissiness when powerless, turn very nasty when they find themselves in a position of power).

Mentioning it once is relevant. Mentioning it twice is trying to use it as an excuse.

This is from the Romanian penal code so it may be inaccurate for other countries. I am also not qualified to do anything related to law

If you are under the effects of a substance, you can be considered not breaking the law in some conditions

In the US, the penalties can be higher if you’re drunk and commit a crime. Being drunk is in and of itself a crime in the US (public intoxication) so you at least get that as an additional charge.
