Oxnard school shooting victim removed from life support - Hate Crime

[cbayer]

They are interviewing students on the radio right now and it is heartbreaking.

"The felony complaint did not contain the reasons prosecutors were seeking a hate crime enhancement, and Fox said she could not reveal them. Oxnard police spokesman David Keith said Friday the investigation was continuing and there was no information about a motive.

Several classmates have said King would wear feminine attire, making him a social outcast with other boys at the school. King sometimes came to school wearing makeup and high heels, eighth-grader Nicholas Cortez told The Associated Press."

1. I feel sick

And people wonder why we get so pissed off when our lives are used as a wedge issue.

Until the LEADERSHIP of churches, government, school boards, etc make it unacceptable, we will continue to be murdered and our youths will continue to be turned out of their homes and have high suicide rates.

But it's totally acceptable to gay bash in a lot of our society.

Fucking people.

I want to cry.

And you WONDER WHY WE GET UPSET WHEN A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PANDERS TO HATERS. You wonder fucking why. It's not faux outrage, you fucking assholes.

6. They interviewed LGBT kids and straight kids who support them.

And a few teachers, one of whom runs a support group.

He said, something like "These kids are not looking for tolerance. Tolerance is just not enough".
