There's a lot of disinformation going on in this thread. My guess is because everyone's reading the article at face value.

McInerney was the aggressor, teasing the effeminate King for weeks and vowing to "get a gun and shoot" him, according to a prosecution brief. Multiple students provided accounts of a growing hostility between the two boys, the document shows.

Their dispute ended in tragedy a year ago today when McInerney allegedly armed himself with a .22-caliber revolver and shot King in the back of the head twice in an Oxnard classroom as the school day was beginning.

"In the days before the shooting, the defendant tried to enlist others to administer a beating to Larry," Deputy Dist. Atty. Maeve Fox wrote in a "statement of facts" filed with the brief. "When that failed for lack of interest, he decided to kill Larry."

Then Newsweek reported that several days before the attack that the kid had asked McInirney to be his Valentine.

Some homo kids find tough (but straight) boys who are bent on bullying to be a turn-on. It’s easy to see how the situation deteriorates to hell from that point. The homo kid keeps telling the bully he likes him. The bully takes more and more umbrage, which only sexually excites the homo kid more. Eventually if they are not separated, the bully administers a beatdown or worse to the homo kid.
