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.
The woke liberals are trying to cancel her for the innocent act of being a racist asshole who assaulted a black woman! They're out of control!

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?
Talk about White Washing a story.
Anyone else getting serious larval-stage-Marjorie-Taylor-Greene vibes from this mug shot or just me?
I'm getting "crazy ex girlfriend" vibes from her. The type that would fake a pregnancy, break out your car windows, and stalk you for years after the fact.
I’m reminded of the “Asians in the library” chick from like 10 years ago or something.
Imagine saying the n-word 100 times in an assault on someone and only being halfway done. 😬
how long was the assault? That's like dozens of hard Rs per minute. What a psycho.
Those are all the stifled n-words shes been holding back thus far in her brief lifespan thus far. They all came out at once
I'm very confused here. She is white, pretty, and went before a Kentucky Judge. How was she sentenced to anything?
~/s~
How rich is her father?
You're asking the right questions. Not rich enough, apparently
I guess he was rich enough for 150 slurs, but she had to cross the limit.
Regardless, I would put good money on her being in a sorority.
That's a bingo
3 words: national media attention
How was this not elevated to a hate crime? That sentance is weak sauce for a racially motivated attack
It's hard not to just be blunt here. She's a white girl. Sentencing guidelines and police protocols are different for people matching that description. It's a known, researched phenomenon.
It's not unreasonable to say that the police work for non-impoverished, non-overweight white women. It's noticeable in how quick white women are to call the police and think the police will help with a problem.
Statistically, you are roughly about 1000% more likely to experience police violence if you are not a white woman.
It's not really for being a white girl, it's primarily for being a girl.
Women get 63% lighter sentences for the same crimes as men ( https://academic.oup.com/aler/article-abstract/17/1/127/212179 ), while there is no racial gap between white and another race, whether among men, or women, that's even half that wide ( https://www.ussc.gov/research/research-reports/2023-demographic-differences-federal-sentencing ).
Her being white is most certainly a factor. Racial judicial bias is definitely a thing. When you add in gender judicial bias you end with a tap on the wrist for a most egregious crime.
The first article doesn't primarily address racial disparities within the context of gender. The second one, which does, notes pronounced leniency for white women vs. women of other races. As a woman, you are between 12-30% less likely to receive probation instead of incarceration if you aren't white. Where things were roughly equal is if you are being incarcerated, which is more likely if you're not white as noted above, you are likely to get a roughly equivalent period of incarceration for an equivalent crime. All of these outcomes will be significantly worse if you're a man.
That is apparently determined at sentencing in Kentucky.

So blame the judge.
However, Spring said after the plea hearing that she did not believe Rosing was remorseful.
Yeah, I can look at that mugshot and tell she's not. Glad (and surprised) she got actual punishment.
Edit: I'm making the assumption that's the reflection of a bright orange jumper I see at the bottom of the photo, and the typical blandly colored cinderblock wall in the background.
That is the sort of smug little smirk that says, "that n- deserved what she got." No remorse at all.
💯
You know they say that drinking alcohol kind of reveals who you are inside. Well we now know who she really is. The assault confirms that.
It's like 4 minutes of straight up repeating the n-word. Besides her racism, how fucked up she was to vomit out that long of a manifesto?
When is she gonna be invited to headline a Trump rally?
Who counted the N words
Hopefully lawyers that can fine her separately for each and every one.
can you get fined for saying a word in a country with the first amendment? how dumb is this even if what she did was wrong its not illegal to say the N word. The assault however she should get in legal trouble for.
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
I'll never get the American mindset which considers "used the n-word 200 times" the main offense, the one worthy to be in the headline, while "struck her numerous times and kicked her in the stomach" is just a minor detail that happens to be mentioned somewhere in the article as an afterthought.
200 times?
Over the course of 10 minutes. That means she said it about every 3 seconds...
All that hideousness and just gets a year of jail and 100 hours of community service. Fucking Kentucky pantywaist conservative judge.
This is "higher" education in US?
Clearly there is a problem at the primary level.
