"
I left my love on northern ground
Starless night, so vast and so black
My prayers slowly sink to a whisper
I see your smile, but then I see your eyes
Through the mist of tears....
All my hopes
Fearless pride
Drowned in smoke and ash
According to the reports I read (other sites linked into different coverage, of which the LA Times is the most complete), the alleged assailant is charged with murder and use of a firearm in a murder, that it will be prosecuted under California law as a hate crime, and that he "is likely to be" tried as an adult.
A classmate of the two said that the victim being openly gay and cross-dressing "freaked out" the alleged assailant.

I don't think teenagers really know what they are.
This is really sad if this is why the shooting occured.
Someone in this kids life, made him believe this is how to deal with gay people. And even worse, someone let a child have access to firearms without parental guidance.
I don't believe in hate crimes laws. I think laws should be based on actions, not ideas. Punishment should be more severe for reasons like this, but not special laws based on the thinking(or lack there of) of the crimianal.
Murder is murder, hate or love for the person killed doesn't change the result.

You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,
and what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you didn't think you could do before.

Islam is not the problem, blind faith is.
Christians need to cast their nets in the sea of despair, not in the aquarium of church-----come, I will make you fishers of men.

But one can argue that a hate crime does more than kill a person. It kills an innocent person and sends a threat to a specific group of people. That latter part means the crime is more serious than a normal murder. In my view, it's more akin to terrorism than murder.
Assist me in being one in solidarity with Thy little ones
by taking to heart the words of Thy Son,
"whatever you did for one of these least brothers of Mine,
you did for Me." (Mt. 25:40)
Therefore, allow me today, Father,
to adopt spiritually an unborn child
and to offer my prayers, works,
joys and sufferings for that little one

If it were the other way around, people would sympathize with the culprit.
This bastard who shot the poor kid should be thrown in prison for life, yes. But, If a gay kid was harassed and decided to shoot a hetero, white male in the head there would be less venom directed towards the perp'.
