“The boy was in Casa Pacifica, a place for extremely troubled youths.”
Thank you! That fact puts an whole different perspective on things. I take back what I said the victim’s parents and the school officials.
So the real story here once again is the press, particularly the New York Times. It’s amazing how the by the omission of one little fact this rag can turn the killing of one troubled youth by another extremely troubled youth and make it seem like their version of “typical Americana: America’s hatred of those who are different.” At least it worked on me.
Thanks. Here's one of them with some interesting details.
As I suspected, it sounds like there was a fair amount of contact between the killer and the gay boy.
