"Weeks before he was brazenly killed by his teenage crush, 15-year-old Lawrence King was encouraged to be himself. Did that lesson help send him to his grave?"

What a lovely eulogy given by the minister at Larry King's funeral - 'One of God's grand creations and a masterpiece who loves bugs, chess and licorice'.  Very nice.        

How would Larry know that dressing in high-heel boots and wearing eye-shadow would get him killed?  Why blame the shelter for encouraging him to express himself? 
Why is there so much violence?
I've got no answers, and I don't think anyone else has either.
