An Oxnard junior high student who was shot in the head by a classmate earlier this week was declared brain dead Wednesday, and the 14-year-old male suspect now faces a first-degree murder charge, authorities said. ...several students at the south Oxnard campus said King and his alleged assailant had a falling out stemming from King's sexual orientation.
A fourteen-year-old boy decided to murder another teenager simply because of sexual orientation. I am hoping that the shooter is charged as an adult under a hate crimes law, because this is just awful.

Also, I don't think this requires the hate crimes law. But he definitely deserves to be locked up for life in adult prison and I hope he ends up there.

If the slain student tried to hide his homosexual tendencies, he would have been greatly harassed. Since he was open with them, this is the penalty. Go figure.

What he did was wrong, but he should be tried as what he is, a teenager.
