I THINK THE KID SHOULD BE TRIED AS AN ADULT AND GET THE 50 YEARS HE DESERVE! THE FACT THAT THE FAMILY WANTS MONEY IS BESIDES THE FACT. ONLY MONEY THEY SHOULD WANT IS FUNERAL COST ANYTHING ELSE IS GRAVY! IT IS BULLSHIT TO THINK THAT THE BOY SHOULD BE EXCUSED OF THE FACT OR GET A LESSER SENTENCE. WHEN HE GETS OUT HE WILL BE IN HIS 60s. KING WILL NEVER COME!

Regardless of why Larry lived in a shelter, I can’t see how this lawsuit could move forward. I read the posts below and some people imply it should because the shelter and LGBT group did not help him “tone it down” and “support his way of life.” OMG, so your saying because he was trying to live the way he wanted these groups own that. Honestly don’t we all want support to be who we are and live freely. I don’t get it!

The parents should not get a dime as far as I am concerned.

“Just in case anyone didn’t hear it, the father of the boy who shot Larry King was found dead today. Another sad part of this story.”

Actually it’s not.

I don’t believe that anyone should be blamed for the death of Lawrence King but the one who shot him.
King should not have mad advances toward a straight student, but should be able to wear what he wants.
Either way, it is not an excuse to be killed.
The focus should be concentrated on the murderer.
Not people that “could have prevented it”.

JT Hi. Was the old man’s death by his own hand or natural causes? Inquirering minds want to know and we’ll never find out on this site, although we do now know inportant stuff… like Rachel has an aversion to warm booze!

jessica t & Josh Elder Hi there! FYI Larry was removed from his home AGAINST his parents wishes when he made a complaint(so far as I know, unsubstantiated) of abuse against his father. He was “in the care and custody” of the county child welfare who put him in the shelter. The parents begged the shelter to make him tone it down, apparently to no avail. I think all of these do gooders should not only be sued in civil court but tried in criminal court for endangering the welfare of a MINOR. I’ve said this many tims in regards to this story. His mother had to decide to pull the life suppport on her brain dead son, shot in the head in his classroom. No mother should have to do that! She can sue whoever she damn well pleases and I hope they win big, REAL BIG>

I can’t believe that people are still calling for this monster to be treated as a child. He is not a child. He is an abomination of what could have been a good human being.

Make no mistake. This was no accident. This was cold blooded and calculated murder. (Nothing more and nothing less.)

When he pulled the trigger and ended the life of an innocent, he forfeited his life. I hope that he is very, very, very old before he ever sees anything except a prison cell.

I have to agree with Jessica. I had no clue that Larry lived in a shelter and not with his family, which shows his family wanted nothing to do with him. Why any judge believes his family deserves anything from his tragic death is beyond me.

This is so tragic. If they try him in juvenile court, it will be 2 children’s lives lost to homophobia and ignorance and neglect by adults, one in death and one in 50 years behind bars. In this country, 14 and 15 year olds are not yet adults. They cannot vote or enlist or rent a hotel room for good reasons. This hate crime should only have 1 victim.
