The story here is a sad one. A little boy named Lawrence King was undoubtedly and unabashedly gay. He was teased a lot during his short life for his effeminate ways. Finally, in the weeks leading up to the shooting, he starting owning his sexuality. He started dressing in heels and wearing makeup. Some say he started to say to other boys, "I love you."

Brandon McInerney, another boy, shot him twice in the head during a computer class.

The prosecution of this case revolves not around Brandon's guilt, but motive. District Attorneys contend that Brandon admired White Supremacy, and a tenet of those beliefs is that gays are abhorrent and worthless. The defense argues that young Larry's homosexual advances drove Brandon to an emotional breaking point, which ultimately led to the shooting.

Shit like this makes me hate all those douche bag kids that go around schools thinking their big shit by making fun of people who are different than them. if i were at that school i would have beat the living shit out of him just for saying he would bring a hand gun to school.

I really dont have anything against gay people, I have gay friends and I enjoy spending time with them. But I would really feel awkward if they showed up out of nowhere with high heels and dresses.... My gay friends even call those obnoxious people ****... and they separate themselves from them... and telling people "i love you" is pushing the limit.
Still not hardcore enough to get shot to death though... but close

how can the defense expect to get voluntary manslaughter if the dude brought a gun from home to school and ended up shooting someone to death? This is premeditated as hell, should be easy enough for the prosecution.

dude wat. I live like 10-20 mins away from Oxnard.

Sad story. I know some gay kids at my school. Not friends with many of them, but the ones I am friends with are pretty cool. I think Lawrence kinda went a little far with it though. The way he was acting, I wouldn't want to be with the guy, but he sure as hell didn't deserve to get shot.

The defense's case is that the boy who was shot pushed the other boy to an emotional breaking point by his actions and the things he was saying to him.

I'd rather be a gay than a murderer.

Even though the victim was possibly one of those annoying homo's, no one has the right to end another one's life. And especially when it's about something stupid like this.

Yes I know what the defense is arguing, but imo that goes out the window when you take a gun to school to kill someone.

From wikipedia:

Voluntary Manslaughter sometimes called a "Heat of Passion" murder, is any intentional killing that involved no prior intent to kill, and which was committed under such circumstances that would "cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed."

First Degree Murder is any murder that is willful and premeditated. Felony Murder is typically first degree.

As the others said, I blame the parents. I didn't read the story (the links and shit) but I assume he took his fathers gun or something. Teach your kids some morals people, dayum.

Um, I blame the kid. Without access to a gun his psychotic ass would have probably stabbed the poor kid to death.

I hate that Defense attorneys would defend something as blatant an obviously disturbing as this and use an excuse as stupid as "He was drove to an emotional breaking point". It seems it a little premeditated to me. Why would the gun have even been brought by him? And what the **** are his parents teaching him?

If a gay person said "I love you" to me, I'd be pretty weirder out, but at most tell him to Stfu. This kid needs locked up for life. Especially if he's gonna shoot someone for being Gay in today's society.

The irony here is, In prison he's gonna be "Gay"

Everyone is accountable for their own actions. He chose to kill him. His Fault. His parents also share the blame for obviously not raising him proper.

They "Claim", but they still did it. They are still accountable and should therefore be held responsible and punished as such. If they are claiming to be insane, why would they ever be allowed to walk free again if they couldn't control their actions? Life Sentence seems right in this case of a brutal murder.

It's a lot more complicated than being able to 'walk free', but they don't receive a life sentence.

Actually, the article said that in some of the other kid's testimonies, they mentioned that the murderer had said that he planned to "rush the other kid after school" or even "shank him" so your conclusion isn't too far fetched.

These forums are full of fa g gots without an ounce of virtue that aren't any better than that kid, you don't have to look too far to find such hateful and uncalled for behavior and as far as I can tell actions in these very forums reinforce that mentality even if I chose not to account for the opposite.

and no fa g gots was not used to describe h o m o s e xuals. You know who I am bussy hating ? No1, and by no1 I mean no1 who isn't trying to pull a gun on me.
