Lawrence King Murder Trial - my conflicting emotions

Jury selection scheduled to begin soon in the trial of Brandon McInerney, accused of murdering 15-year old Lawrence King, allegedly because King was gay and had asked then 14-yr old McInerney to be his Valentine. But can justice ever truly be served in a case like this?

I find it absolutely ridiculous that the person in the youtube video never mentions Leticia/Larry/Lawrence sexually harassing many straight boys. The LGBT community will continue to see these killings until a very sad fact of reality eventually opens their eyes.

@MotherNatureisBiased Does it make a difference to you because Larry was gay? If it was a little girl running around chasing boys, would her murder be justified? I find your entire response absolutely ridiculous, but you're entitled to your opinion.

@JahairasMission Does it make a difference to me personally? No. But when people sexually harass people especially people that are not in their sexual preference, and know it but continue to do it willingly, I think the reaction in this case is typical of most heterosexual men. I'm sure you think differently but again, I'm sure most heterosexual men take offense to being sexually harassed by a homosexual male. I know it sounds a little crazy but there you have it.

@MotherNatureisBiased So you believe that murder is a 'typical response' to harrassment? Remind me not to move wherever you live.

[MotherNatureisBiased]

@JahairasMission Ofcourse not. The ironic thing about this is that if this was a heterosexual male constantly sexually harassing a heterosexual female and she responded in a similar way you'd most likely be defending her. I think this would make you a hypocrite and a bigot.

@MotherNatureisBiased And see, THINKING is what got us into this travesty of a conversation. Look, this video was made long before the trial got started, and I didn't have all the information available to us now. But with that being said, I absolutely stand by my thoughts on this tragedy, and there is no way that being harrassed by anyone of any gender or orientation justifies murdering them. Thanks for your interest in my video. Be well.,

How exactly was he sexually harassing the guys. If he flirted, all they had to do was tell him that they aren't gay and to go away. But shooting someone in the back of the head and then shooting him again while he was on the ground bleeding to death is excessive. Now Brandon will be sitting in prison and he will REALLY be sexually harassed now. In fact, being that he is young and tender, he will get raped.

Sexual harassment is wrong, regardless of the sex its addressed to. It's time to RAISE children to respect diversity and differences n other ppl. Evrything someone says doesn't need a response.

This is tragic.

As a mother, WE GOTTA DO BETTER. He couldve just walked away. Bring a GUN to solve this? Incredible. If Brandon was that fearful, there are many other recourses. #stophomophobia
