(Ventura, Calif.) A Southern California junior high school student has been ordered to stand trial in the fatal shooting of a gay classmate.

Ventura County Superior Court Judge Ken Riley said Wednesday that there was enough evidence to try 15-year-old Brandon McInerney for the February 2008 shooting death of Larry King, also 15. McInerney will be tried as an adult.

Riley says he agrees with prosecutors that the shooting was premeditated and has added the special circumstance allegation that McInerney was lying in wait.

1. Only fifteen and already warped by hate.
His parents should be tried alongside him.

5. Teenagers are full of irrational prejudices
I don't think he should be tried as an adult.

6. How sad.
He was 14 when he killed his classmate. When I was 14, I used to look at my Barbies in secret.

I could never understand the hatred that drove this child. But he is a child. I don't believe in trying children in adult court.
