The trial's about Brandon, not Larry

A year ago national media descended on Oxnard, California, to answer the question: what made Larry King flaunt his sexuality and gender, which ended up getting him killed? Was it irresponsible teachers and mentors? A bad family life? Or was he just a bad kid?

All the while they pretty much ignored Brandon McInerney, who shot Larry in the back of the head. You see, Brandon's reaction was normal, expected. No surprises there - if you act out of line, you act like a ->-bleeped-<-, you can expect to be killed. It's tragic, yes, but in the same way the death of a mobster is tragic.
