One Gets 21 years, While The Other Gets No More Years

Brandon McInerney [l] and Larry King [r]
Brandon McInerney, the Southern California teenager who shot Larry King, a gay classmate, twice in the back of the head, because he felt King was flirting with him, will be spending the next 21 years in prison, after reaching a plea deal that effectively ends the case.
Except that Larry King doesn't have the option of where to spend the next 21 years.
Brandon McInerney has already served nearly four years in jail and could be released by the time he is 38; Larry King will never be 38.
McInerney’s first trial ended with jurors split between convicting him of voluntary manslaughter and first-degree murder; prosecutors, in deciding to try McInerney a second time, dropped the allegation that the shooting was motivated by a hatred of homosexuals, an accusation that several jurors in the original trial said they did not believe.
Was McInerney, as prosecutors portrayed him, a budding white supremacist who hated homosexuals and was enraged by Larry King's open sexuality and flirtation? Was McInerney the product of a violent and dysfunctional home who had reached an emotional breaking point in response to King's advances?
Who cares. Brandon McInerney didn't like Larry King flirting with him, so he brought a gun to school, searched out Larry King and shot him twice in the back of the head. As though they were no other options.
And that gets 21 years while Larry Kind gets a headstone.

Brandon McInerney Faces a New Trial Without The Hate Crimes Charge

Brandon McInerney [l] and Larry King [r]
Earlier this week, prosecutors announced their intention retry, and pursue a murder charge in adult court, 17-year-old Brandon McInerney, who is accused of killing 15-year-old Larry King, a young gay man, by shooting him in the back of the head.
The prosecutors have decided to drop the Hate Crime charge they had sued in the first trial.
Last month, a judge declared a mistrial after a nine-woman, three-man panel couldn't reach a unanimous decision on the degree of McInerney's guilt for shooting Larry King in the back of the head. After a series of votes, seven jurors were in favor of a voluntary manslaughter conviction, while five others supported either first-degree or second-degree murder.
Voluntary manslaughter. Shooting someone in the back of the head, which required thought about bringing a gun to school, and where to do it and how to do it. 
Voluntary?
Prosecutors contend that McInerney embraced a white supremacist philosophy that sees homosexuality as an abomination, after police found Nazi-inspired drawings and artifacts at his house. A white supremacist expert testified at the first trial that this kind of hate-filled ideology was the reason for the killing.
Prosecutors say the shooting was premeditated and deserving of a murder conviction, and made note in the first trial of at least six people who heard Brandon McInerney make threats against Larry King in the days leading to the shooting.
Voluntary?
Defense attorneys acknowledged that Brandon McInerney did, in fact, shoot Larry King in the back of the head, but say he had reached his emotional breaking point after King made repeated, unwanted sexual advances. 
Oh, so, if a young gay man has a crush on a young straight man, and the young straight man allegedly makes death threats against the young gay man, and then brings a gun to school and searches out the young gay man, and then shoots him in the back of the head, that's okay?
Or, just voluntary.

Larry King Asks Johnny Weir About The F Word

Now, whats makes this truly funny, and not just kinda freaky, is that the last time Larry King used the word 'fierce' was the day he was chased home from Bedrock Elementary by a baby mastodon.

It's been that long.

Nutjob.......

.....and I don't mean Larry.
Video masturbator and total boob job--in all senses of the word--Carrie Prejean was on Larry King last night and got hot-n-bothered because he asked why she settled her suit against the Miss California pageant. Carrie called him "inappropriate" and took her microphone off and just sat there.
Quite the role model.
Side note: Sarah Palin is her hero. Further proof of her nutjobbednessery. And now word comes out that, while Carrie has said she was 17, and therefore a minor, when she performed her solo sex act, the boyfriend who was given the gift of Carrie Pleasuring Carrie has said she was 20. Porn producers are upping the offers to get Carrie to perform for them.
