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
A whole year? Somebody is optimistic.
Yeah she was probably a good Christian too
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!
!remindme 1 year
(we need this bot! I have no programming knowledge or skills but I'm going to make this happen one way or another)
there is a way:
@remindme@mstdn.social 1 year
I would imagine that is her plan all along
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.
I think you may be forgetting that if you're drunk, the consequences can't get you.
That's true. Good point.
Ah, but the rhythm will get you. Tonight.
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.
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 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.
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.
💯
The smug satisfaction of someone who knows she has a career as a Fox News anchor or Repub politician on lock.
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
I don't know but they beat me to it.
I suppose it might have been videoed.
Good. I remember seeing that video back when this all happened and she’s a vile piece of shit.
All that hideousness and just gets a year of jail and 100 hours of community service. Fucking Kentucky pantywaist conservative judge.
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.
It also only serves to continue fueling the polarization of the right. They point and say "See! They will put you in jail simply for saying words!" And since many don't bother to open the article, it spreads and spreads and fuels their fear factory.
It feels like "responsible journalism" is a thing of the past in the face of appeasing the Algorithm.
200 times?
Over the course of 10 minutes. That means she said it about every 3 seconds...
This is "higher" education in US?
Clearly there is a problem at the primary level.
"That's a feature, not a bug." –Republicans
They're all just different tiers of parasitic businesses, intent on sucking up taxpayer funds to feed their bloated administrative staff. The "education" is secondary to revenue streams, and has been for decades.
My faith in humanity significantly decreases daily...
On the other hand, she did get convicted and is facing some consequences, so that's a small bright spot in the story.
True, but the fact that she thought this was OK to do in the first place baffles me.
Only if you read the news, which is designed to repeat horrible things all day.
Fortunately you can reverse-engineer it: don't read the news, and your faith in humanity will increase.
Also, don't go outside, or interact with humanity in any way. "Ignorance is bliss."
Good
Not good enough. Her victim says she's clearly not remorseful.
She should be kept in prison until she really understands what she did wrong.
She basically got off without any real punishment.
She got expelled, has no degree, and will be found out for life when applying for work. Jail time is the least of her concerns.
Lol i don't think people under stood the concept of In vino Veritas whoever doenvoted you. I think they thought you were implying the message of the woman yelling removed 200 times was the "hidden truth" and not that the hidding truth being that drunkyMcdrunk face being super fuckin racist is the actual underlying truth you are nodding to.
Well her going to jail is probably for the best. See how she does in genpop
