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.
“If it had been a girl that shot a guy, she would be tried as a junvie and been out in four years.”
BAM. Blue ribbon at the truth fair.
