The Right Way
The child above is Brandon McInnery who is charged with murdering Laurence King.
Brandon is 14.
He’s a child.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Douglas Daily’s ruling says he has to be tried as an adult and he faces the full penalties of the law.
Whilst most Christian groups would call for this sort of reaction the local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans activists have urged that the boy be dealt with by a juvenile court.
That’s the right response.
It’s good to see my brothers and sisters acting this way.
I feel proud of them.

I agree. What he allegedly did was horrific but he’s 14 for goodness’ sake. Why on earth should he be tried as an adult? There’s far more justification for charging the parents with Larry King’s murder and trying *them* as adults instead - after all it’s not a normal occurrence for 14 year old boys to shoot their peers in the head.
