Has that been verified that it was the same guy?

I have a different and rather unpopular take on this matter.

No one can deny the horror and tragedy of this event. The suffering visited upon the young man who took his life was something that never should have happened, and I grieve for him and his family.

But the calls for the heads of the Mr. Ravi and Miss Wei are quite possibly a case of the sinners throwing the stones. What they did was no doubt cruel, mean and prosecutable. But how mean and how cruel?

How many of us have perpetrated a cruel prank or joke? I have seen similar scenarios performed a number of times over the years.

I remember an annoyed fellow in our dorm gathering people for a tour of his room with the roommate he'd come home to find in alcoholic unconsciousness along with a sexual conquest.

People have scrawled nasty, revsaling graffiti, naming names, since the invention of writing.

Anyone who's ever passed hurtful but true gossip about a roommate, coworker, or classmate should pause and think about what could have happened to their victim.

Most of us have "secrets never to be told," about terrible little cruelties we've inflicted during shameful lapses in judgment, especially when we were young.

Mr. Ravi and Miss Wei are probably going to have their careers and education aborted, may go to prison, and will be passionately hated by far more people than they will ever meet. And yet, it is highly doubtful that they set out to seriously harm, much less kill their victim.

It may make us feel a brief moral superiority to condemn them. Perhaps a better use of our energies would be to reflect, review painful and shameful memories, and then to give thanks to God that we escaped the fruits of the seeds we sowed.

Not that different from mine and I sure the heck hope it's not that unpopular.

It's not about moral superiority, it's a case of negligence to which the costs to be recouped are far far to heavy for either to pay (ie. they can't bring him back).

Argh, they had a porno graphic image on that page, of a guy shoving his dick in another guys butt. I wasn't expecting that!

Based on reading cit2mo's comments, if it's the same guy, he didn't sound all that distraught.

Generally, Gays have a higher rate of mental illness and suicide. The Gay community blames it all on 'intolerance'. I don't personally buy that argument.

So could it have been a homicide? Cause he definitely sounds like he was going to take the legal route.

So, it's possible the Gay guy was murdered?

Sounds like a good plot line for Law and Order!

So, what would be the motive if it was homicide?
