Not to mention his haircut!

Larry King's feminine attire was upsetting some of the students and faculty at E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard.
But there was nothing Assistant Principal Joy Epstein could do about it because King's high-heeled boots, earrings and eye makeup were within the Oxnard school's dress policy, Epstein testified Monday at the murder trial of King's classmate, Brandon McInerney.
..."They said we had to protect his civil rights and his equal rights," Epstein said. "We could not discriminate between a boy or a girl wearing those items to school."
Epstein's testimony came on the fifth day of McInerney's murder trial. The prosecution alleges McInerney, then 14, shot King twice in the head at school in February 2008 because the two had been feuding and McInerney disliked the flamboyant student. Prosecutors say the slaying constituted a hate crime.

Fine, give Brandon a double tap to the head....problem solved.
How horrible that it couldn’t have been a love crime.
Funny how all the “blame the guns” liberals have zipped lips. I guess there is a pecking order of victimology and a straight guy disgusted with homosexuals in his face ranks higher than a coquettish gun.
Insanity, and I don’t mean the killer. He is normal, the school board is obviously crazy.

Larry King’s no longer Live???
Reason #12,345 or something like that to home school.
It looks like an instance of bickering and bullying turned ugly. Few, even the rock-ribbed, would suggest that flamers should be shot on sight.
It would be nice if their crap wasn’t tolerated in schools, though. Imagine when they all “come out” in our military.
King was removed from his parents’ home in late December 2007 for undisclosed reasons.
Probably because his Father told him to straighten up and act like a male or there would be severe consequences!

“They said we had to protect his civil rights and his equal rights,”
Equal to what??
What makes this case tricky is that it appears that the victim was using his homosexuality to bully Brandon...
“McInerney’s defense lawyers concede their client pulled the trigger, but only after King sexually harassed him and school administrators refused to do anything.”
“....Two or three boys were restraining McInerney, who appeared agitated over something.
Romero said she found out later that King had just said “I love you, baby!” to McInerney as they passed in a corridor....”
And from another source....
“And then there was Valentine’s Day. A day or two before the shooting, the school was buzzing with the story about a game Larry was playing with a group of his girlfriends in the outdoor quad. The idea was, you had to go up to your crush and ask them to be your Valentine. Several girls named boys they liked, then marched off to complete the mission. When it was Larry’s turn, he named Brandon, who happened to be playing basketball nearby. Larry walked right on to the court in the middle of the game and asked Brandon to be his Valentine. Brandon’s friends were there and started joking that he and Larry were going to make “gay babies” together.”

Obviously Brandon over-reacted, but King isn’t some innocent martyr.......
Yes I agree. I’m a natural-law-hetero-phile-homo-phobe.
Not to mention his haircut!
” high-heeled boots, earrings, suspenders, bow tie, and eye makeup were within the Oxnard school’s dress policy,
Brandon learned too late that being excessively obnoxious can be hazardous.
This is a horrible situation but the school allowed pc stupidity to create a firestorm that led to this mess. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens. The deviant class becomes a protected class where everyone else is ignored and marginalized regardless.
There's nothing normal about killing someone.
Well, he was normal in the sense that a lynch mob is normal. Contrary to the convention wisdom, most men in the West or even the South who were lynched are guilty of some offense, if only terrible misjudgement. The kid has paid with his life because the adults were too cowardly to set reasonable limits on student behavior. The killer probably felt the same freedom to act that his victim did. So the school failed both of them.
