It's my understanding that Larry King was killed for no better reason than because he was gay. You don't deserve to live because of what you are. Write that on a sheet of paper, put an equal sign next to it and then write down Adolf Hitler's murder of millions of Jews simply because of what they were, Jews. You'll then begin to get a grip on the abomination represented by Larry King's murder.
I would have been silent if the district attorney had decided to prosecute Brandon McInerney as a juvenile. And I would be silent now but for the great hue and cry that he's being mistreated by being forced to play out the hand he dealt for himself.
Where is the outrage over the murder of a boy simply because he is gay? When Matthew Shepard was murdered, there was a nationwide cry for his killers' blood. And as it turned out, their original intent was simply to rob him, not kill him. Who cares as much about Larry King? I'm not seeing it.
If you commit an adult crime, then expect to stand up and account for it like an adult. Justice demands no less.
