I'm sorry, because I appreciate your well-written post, but this is ridiculous. His 'honor and reputation'? It's high school. It was FLIRTING--perverted and gross, sure, but he wasn't sexually assaulted.
The school failed all the way, but flirting doesn't 'force' someone to protect his reputation. I work with teenagers with criminal records and histories of abuse, including sexual, and this kid should have simply not gone to school or something to 'protect his honor and reputation" (which is the rationalization for honor killings, fer pete's sake).
We can and should blame the idiot lib school teachers and the PC crap that allows this kind of thing to go on, but what are we teaching kids--that killing isn't condoned but it can be rationalized? What if a girl he didn't like was coming on to him (and girls today are very sexually aggressive)? Answer: We wouldn't be having this conversation, because we'd be laughing at the excuse. That the victim was in your own words mentally ill should put shame on this murderer. I'm trying to imagine another case where we'd be explaining away the killing of the mentally damaged, which we are always fighting against when the person in question is in a hospital, for example.
I'm sorry, but while I loathe the homosexual agenda, I just have zero sympathy for these excuses. What happens when a Muslim kid kills a Christian kid in school because of 'honor'? I suspect your response won't be the same (even though the Muslim could probably be considered brain damaged in that case).
The idea that this kid was pushed to the point where he had no alternative but to break the law and kill is ludicrous--I suspect he had other issues he wasn't dealing with, and his family should be ashamed for not stepping in where the school failed. What happened to our morality concerning the parents, not the teachers, teaching our kids morals, ethics, and the proper way to maintain self-respect?
That 21 years in prison is sure gonna help his honor and reputation.
Having teenage boys flirt with boys insults their sexual identity. You obviously don’t understand sexual identity formation and the vulnerability of peer pressure and peer ridicule when boys are pursuing boys.
That behavior was glorified in Greece, and therefore, not an insult to manhood, but in a Christian society—the Western one—which rid all Christian societies of this glorification of perversions such as homosexuality and pederasty which was prevalent and still exists in Afghanistan—it means entirely a different thing.
Sexual advances of perverted individuals is deeply offensive to teenage boys who are trying to establish manhood in Western Society. Granted, in atheist/pagan societies it was “flirting”—a type of compliment to one’s
sexual attractiveness. When done in a Christian paradigm, it is deeply offensive—particularly to adolescence who are vulnerable to perceptions and ridicule from peers.
Granted, the boy should never have killed the other person. But our unconstitutional school system set this situation up. They are creating the criminals you work with—along with no fathers in homes.
We need to get rid of the DOE and get back to local control of all schooling and eliminate the cultural Marxist’s curricula which is trying to destroy Natural Law and turn humans into some perverted Brave New World where boys are girls are whatever.
