Brandon McInerney

California teen gets 21 years for killing gay student:

In 2008 a then 14-year-old Brandon McInerney shot a then 15-year-old Lawrence King in the back of the head within the halls of E.O. Green Junior High. King was an openly gay student who liked to wear women’s clothes. I’ve seen reports that say that King would mockingly hit on McInerney to combat the bullying from him. I’ve also read reports that said King had a crush on him. Neither of which are reasons for shooting another person in the back of the head at near point-blank rage.

Anyway today McInerney was sentenced to 21 years in prison after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors after a mistrial.

Now before you start twisting your pearls and blubber into your kleenex over McInerney let’s not forget that the punk was a white supremacist and obvious homophobe. He deserves more than 21 years if you ask me but it is what it is.

What really gets me about this story is the father of Lawrence King. He threw his son out of the house for being gay. Not only is he suing the school but he had this to say about his son at McInerney’s sentencing hearing…

“I will never forgive you for what you did,” she wrote. “You have left a big hole in my heart where Larry was.”

Considering his previous attitude towards his own son and the lawsuit I would say that the hole is more than likely in his wallet rather than his heart.

Brandon McInerney

Calif. teen faces 21 years in prison after guilty plea in killing of gay classmate:

After a mistrial 17-year-old Brandon McInerney has pleaded guilty to the 2008 shooting death of 15-year-old Lawrence King inside E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, California. By all reports McInerney was a white supremacist homophobe who felt threatened by the openly gay King. According to some reports that I have read McInerney was a bully to King but King fought back by making faux passes at McInerney.

According to terms of the plea deal McInerney will be sentenced to 21 years in prison as he was charged as an adult. So he’ll be 38 when he gets out and will be able to still lead somewhat of a life. Lawrence King doesn’t have that option anymore.

What really kills me is that Lawrence King’s father has the gall to make any sort of comments about the case.

“I don’t think that 21-year sentence is justice for my son, but I understand the reality that was facing the DA of trying to convict a defendant who was 14 … when he committed the murder,” Greg King said.

While I agree with him Mr. King kicked his son out of the house for being gay. Of course I guess he has to keep up appearances since he’s suing the school district for his son’s death. A son he basically disowned for being gay. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. King looked at the lawsuit as a way for his son to make up for being gay and murdered. Pathetic.

E.O. Green shooter to be retried

Brandon McInerney

Calif. teen to be retried in gay classmate killing:

Long story short if you’re new. In 2008 then 14-year-old Brandon McInerney shot and killed 15-year-old Lawrence King in the back of the head inside E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard, California. King was openly gay and used that to his advantage to combat the bullying of McInerney. McInerney being a hate filled mental midget couldn’t handle being made to look foolish by a gay kid so he executed him.

McInerney’s trial resulted in a hung jury because some dumbass jurors wanted to convict him on voluntary manslaughter instead of murder. When someone is shot in the back of the head it’s murder. It’s not called execution style for no reason.

Anyway the little ball of pus will be retried except this time the charge of a hate crime is not being pursued. Hate crime charges are bullshit anyway. Every violent crime is a hate crime. They don’t deter hate crimes from happening. The only good thing about them is that they tack on additional years to sentences. That’s if the scum are convicted in the first place.

Hopefully the jury won’t be half filled with assclowns and will send this little ball of puke to prison where he belongs.

E.O. Green shooting trial ends in mistrial

Brandon McInerney

Retrial sought in gay student’s slaying:

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything about the shooting at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, California.

In 2008 a then 14-year-old Brandon McInerney shot fellow student, 15-year-old Lawrence King, twice in the back of the head.

King was an openly gay student who sometimes dressed in women’s clothes. He lived at a shelter since his own family threw him out. McInerney allegedly bullied King for being gay but King would make faux passes at McInerney to combat the bullying. So McInerney did the not so logical thing of shooting King twice in the back of the head. Investigators also turned up evidence that McInerney may have white supremacist beliefs.

McInerney was charged as an adult.

Last week was McInerney’s trial and it ended in a hung jury. Not because they don’t believe McInerney killed King but on what he should be convicted on. Some of the jurors wanted to convict on voluntary manslaughter while others wanted to convict on first or second degree murder.

I realize that I am far from a lawyer but I don’t see how this can be anything but first degree murder. McInerney went someplace and got a gun and made the conscious effort to bring the gun to school just to shoot Lawrence King. It boggles my mind how the jury was hung.

McInerney’s lawyer claims that McInerney was being sexually harassed by King which I don’t believe to be true. Even if it was true is premeditated murder the proper response? No, it isn’t, ever.

Prosecutors have said they will retry McInerney. Hopefully they can get a jury that isn’t halfway filled with idiots.

SoCal teen pleads not guilty in student’s slaying:

Last week E.O. Green Junior High gunman Brandon McInerney pleaded not guilty in the shooting death of classmate Lawrence King.

The then 14-year-old McInerney allegedly shot the 15-year-old King because King was openly gay and flirted with McInerney as a defense against McInerney’s bullying of king.

If they go to trial McInerney is looking at a 53 to life sentence since he was charged as an adult. If he pleas out prosecutors said they’d be willing to reduce the sentence to 25 to life.

The trial is set for 12/1.
