Brandon McInerney said he planned to bring a gun to school a day before he shot and killed a gay student in a Ventura County junior high school classroom, a friend testified at his murder trial.

The student, identified only as Keith L., took the stand Thursday in the Los Angeles trial. He said McInerney's face turned red after 15-year-old victim Larry King called him "baby" in a crowded hallway at E.O. Green Junior High in Oxnard.

"That's how he gets when he's mad," the friend said. "Both embarrassed and mad."

Prosecutors have said that King actually said, "I love you, baby."

gun extremism - it's teh Kool

not

[krispos42]

1. So homophobia's okay, just as long as nobody shoots anybody? n/t

[jpak]

3. Gun extremism iz the answer

not

[krispos42]

7. Would you be so concerned about this dead teen if the killer...

...had ambushed him in the bathroom and pulped his head against a toilet?

[gejohnston]

9. Would not even be on his radar

even if he used a knife, bat, tire chain, etc,

The fact that he can use the gun as propaganda is more valuable than the life of the victim.

[gejohnston]

2. so what does that have to do with us?

That is not gun extremism, what ever that is. That is homophobic bigotry. it is also a crime. Since it did not say he got it from home, I am guessing he did not. Since federal law prohibits the sale of anyone under 21, he did not get it at Wal Mart. I am guessing he bought or rented it from his drug connection. Renting was common in the "civilized and tame" east, but that did not make it in the dime novels, so you think things like that happened in the wild west.

4. Gun extremists want to make guns available to everybody everywhere all the time

the ready availability of handguns makes crimes like this possible

yup

[ileus]

5. Really? Ok...

[spin]

8. Find a poster here that has ever said "Guns should be available to everybody ...

everywhere all the time."

Your ability to exaggerate impresses me.

11. "Gun extremists want to make guns available to everybody everywhere all the time"

Cite to proof or your are full of it as usual.

12. Obvioulsly, we want semi-automatic machines guns in glass cases...

...next to the fire extinguishers in buildings.


And gun vending machines. Hell, if they can dispense iPhones, they can dispense Glocks, right?



Although with our luck, they would only take $1 bills...

[gejohnston]

13. Cool a

A Smith & Wesson and Walther vending machine next to a Coke machine and a Ruger next to the Pepsi machine. Looking forward to it.

Just in case, :sarcasm:

[krispos42]

14. And half the time they'll get stuck int he spiral

"Jim, look! There's an SP101 hanging there. Quick, gimme 400 singles and I'll get a free one!"

"Wait! Let's rock it first and see if we can get it to fall!"

[ileus]

6. So what is worse here? the gun or the homophobia?

maybe the gun was whispering bad things about gays in his ear at night from under the pillow...

[rl6214]

10. So where does the NRA/GOP fit into this one?

Oh, and "teh kool" isn't cool, it's juvenile.

Is that your new shtick?

[petronius]

15. The murder of a gay teen is just an anti-gun token to you?

Despicable. I wish I could say I was surprised... :thumbsdown:

[lawodevolution]

16. How excited you are about a new tragedy you can use to attack the rights of law abiding gun owners

You were so excited about it you rushed on the comment you always put at the end and made it extra lame
