Did Tyler Clementi Reach Out for Help Before Suicide?
A message board thread on justusboys.com contains several messages by a user identified as "cit2mo," who is believed to be 18-year-old Tyler Clementi, the Manhattan news website Gawker reported.

*snip*

"So the other night I had a guy over. I had talked to my roommate that afternoon and he had said it would be fine w/him," cit2mo wrote. "I checked his twitter today. He tweeted that I was using the room ... and that he went into somebody else's room and remotely turned on his webcam and saw me making out with a guy."

Cit2mo added: "So my question is what next? I could just be more careful next time. ... I'm p----- at him. ... It would be nice to get him in trouble but I have enough to get him in trouble."

On Wednesday, The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., cited a now defunct Twitter profile that Ravi allegedly used in which a poster made a tweet on Sept. 19, saying that his roommate had asked to use their room until midnight.

"I went into Molly's room and turned on my webcam. I saw him making out with a dude. Yay," the message read.

1. that is so chopped up, the transcriptions, but seems to add new info
Tyler seems to go from pissed off to suicide in a matter of hours.

Not sure what to make of the account at Just Us Boys (a gay porn and networking site) if that IS true.

2. This young man`s death is just a heartbreaker.
So, so senseless. It is WAY past time for equal rights for ALL people. Although, I realize this isn`t even about equal rights really, equal rights would be a law. This goes to an ignorant people harboring a senseless predudice against anyone who (in thier narrow opinion) seems "different". Changing laws would only seem to be the beginning, changing minds to accept all of our fellow human beings, with all of our very complicated differences, seems IMHO to be the goal. My heart aches for this young man`s family.:cry:
