This is one of the saddest stories Ive read in a long time. I dont care how bad the sexual harassment was by the gay kid he didnt deserve lose his life over it. The gay kid was not right in what he did to provoke the boy to shooting him let me make that totally clear. He was very much wrong but that doesnt give the other boy the right to shoot him and take his life because of it. Manslaughter and 21 years is a laughable sentence as he should be fried until extra crispy in the electric chair.

They might as well paint bullseyes on gay people and say its open season since the jury bought the whole gay panic BS defense. Just goes to show you the bias that still goes on today because Im guessing most of that jury is straight and are so blinded by their straightness that they wouldnt even convict someone of murder that deserves it. He might as well have shot a black man in the middle of Time Square back in the 1960's when no white jury would've convicted him, This has set an awful and dangerous precedence.

We're sorry, the page you requested could not be found.


And now the LA TImes is trying to bury the story. Part of the conspiracy to keep the gay man down.

Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Teachers, students, even the mother of the gay said she knew something would sooner or later happen with how much of a attention whore gay her son was.

His father also stated he had a 'complicated life'.


Recipe for disaster. And the ones who should have stepped up and offered counselling, Didn't.

Rather let a teenager solve it himself.

And if it can affect this teenager -who may not have the security of a prideful gay - to the point where he'd rather kill the gay, then face a embarassing situation. Whether he was sexually assaulted/felt threatened by the gay, or maybe he was sexually abused when he was younger.


All in all Gays will win this. They will get the media. It will feed other gays and promote gay sexual abuse in schools.


I expect the gay - who would 'hit' on other boys by dressing in different sexual clothing - used the shooters insecurities against him. And possibly could have sexually assaulted him in a washroom/changeroom. Which caused a dramatic reaction from the shooter who didn't know how to face the issue. Other than the #1 known way. Get rid of it.


It's sad that the shooter will have to live his life out with this at a young age. Especially when it looks like it could have been avoided.

I believe if the shooter could go back in time, to undue what has been done, he would.


Parents, Teachers, Schooling System are all to blame here.


The kid should get help. Rather than damning another soul to a wasted life in jail.

Whats the problem DA didnt do their job and build a strong enough case.

Like in Florida as long as your rich and famous you can get drunk and run a someone over, and receive a 30 day sentence for manslaughter.

What's ridiculous is that this kid has a sorry excuse for a father and he didn't teach his son that his "flirting" was appropriate. Instead he expected the school to raise his child for him.

I would like to know what "aggressively flirting" means. I suspect that if this had been a guy doing this to a woman you'd probably have a case for a sexual assault charge. The school was caught in the middle, had the done what should have been done and expelled the kid his father probably would have sued the school for discrimination, since CA apparently has a law that requires schools to allow boys to wear women's accessories with their school uniform, there is no telling what other ridiculous laws they have that tie their hands when it comes to disciplining gay students.

from other articles I read after googling it, just sexual harassment is sexual harassment whether male on female, female on male, or same sex on same sex.

So because the school failed to act 2 lives are ruined.

I am surprised the school didnt get the crap sued out of them.
