Sad news of the week

This is old news, but should be blogged about just the same. The Wifey alerted me to the story on CNN about Lawrence King, the teen shot to death while in a school computer lab. CNN mentioned very lightly that King was flamboyant but little more was said at the time. Turns out the 15-year-old had revealed he was gay, according to The Washington Blade:

"A 14-year-old classmate, Brandon McInerney, is charged with killing the eighth-grader. Prosecutors want to try him as an adult for murder and committing a hate crime."
