1. I think that Ravi and Wei are all responsible for his death. They violated his privacy and they also humiliated him and made a joke out of his lifestyle. They had no respect for him. The school could also be responsible because they let Ravi continue to record him after the first encounter and he attempted to record Clementi again on the 21st and the school did nothing about the invasion on the 19th such as taking action against Ravi before Clementi did something rash on his own without support from his university.
2. Something could have been done to prevent this. His peers could have stood up for him, and the university should have shut Ravi down after the first encounter and charged him with invasion of privacy that he now holds. I think that no one stood up due to ignorance, but also gay rights have not passed and yet some people consider it taboo or wrong.
3. Anti-bullying laws will impact cases like this by schools adopting this legislation they will protect like Clementi such harassment that could lead suicide or emotional health problems. After Clementi's suicide, New Jersey's anti-bullying legislation got national attention and became the country's toughest anti-bullying legislation. Due to anti-bulling laws in New Jersey, students like Ravi and Wei are dealt with appropriately.
