Brandon mcinerny was a violent punk and a sociopath waiting to happen. It’s a good thing he is locked up for a long time before he kills more people. He is just like those Colombine punks. He shot this boy execution style in the back of the head in front of other kids. Good riddance.
Bull. From the article...
“McInerney, then 14, had reached an emotional breaking point after King made repeated, unwanted sexual advances toward him and other boys,”
Fourteen! The kid was 14. With another kid hitting on him wearing “inappropriate for school” wear. He snapped and that’s it.
I’m not saying that murder is right at any time but for heavens sake don’t make McInerney into some kind of monster. Because if this was my 14-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old boy in leathers, chains and a g-string started hitting on her (just as inappropriate), that boy would find out what kind of hurt my former Marine husband can inflict.
If it had been a girl that shot a guy, she would be tried as a junvie and been out in four years.

In a way it makes me sad as America drifts even further into liberalism, this thread illustrates how even the most conservative among us are adopting the leftist view on crime of sentencing cold blooded murderers to soft prison terms so that they can be “Rehabilitated.”
If the Colombine punks were alive and in prison, these so called “conservatives” would be calling for their early release.
Lawrence King engaged in what can only be called inappropriate behavior for some time before his death. Before McInerney's trial, it was reported that instead of putting the kibosh on this behavior, the assistant principal, an open lesbian, encouraged it, to the point of giving King a gift card so he could buy girls' shoes, which he wore on campus. But she didn't stop there. She also issued a memo to the faculty to not interfere with King's behavior.
And so, as it was revealed during the trial, King would wear dresses (including one given to him by a teacher), makeup and wigs and often parade himself in front of groups of other male students, saying, "I know you want me." He also would follow fellow students to the boys' restroom.
On any other planet this would be considered harassment at the very least, but, again, no one was allowed to do anything.
Finally, Lawrence King came on to the wrong kid.
It is also worth mentioning that King's biological mother did not have custody of her son and so was completely unaware of any of this until after the fact. She said if she had known what was going on at that school, she would have stopped it.
Bottom line is this: The responsibility for Lawrence King's death lies mostly with the school and King himself.
