No excuse for a shooting, but the kid was a little more than “gay”. He wore dresses, high-heels, lipstick, and fingernail polish to school.

The shooting victim, in fact, was engaging in bullying and harassment of his non-homosexual classmates.

That doesn't justify shooting the kid, but the school district officials who allowed his harrassing behavior should bear most of the responsibility.

weird , for certain, to be kind to him... insane is probably more accurate. his family was probably the same.

The sick freak didn't belong in school. He belonged in a mental institution. So do his "parents". As far as the degenerates wanting to crucify a 14 year old child for this; I would expect nothing less from them.

If the situation were reversed and the freak had killed the straight kid, they would have a million excuses why the freak shouldn't be punished.

The kid should not be tried as an adult.

The administration should be put on trial for letting such abominable sick costume displays n school. When kids are allowed to act out their pathologies, nothing good results.

Didn't you know? When you're one of the Chosen, your right to self-expression is sacrosanct. It doesn't matter than Jimmy can't wear his heavy metal band tshirt. He doesn't belong to a group that capitalizes a pronoun. ("Us").

However the victim dressed, if its first degree murder the killer should already be getting the death penalty so calling it a “hate crime” would be pointless.

Uniform school. He was required to wear the boys’ uniform, but wore makeup and such to ‘feminize’ the outfit and test the barriers of the dress code.

I had heard that he was an aggressive gay as well, and would ‘tease’ back the boys who teased him by pretending to come on to them. This is (speculation by someone who was there) what got him shot.
