Brandon McInerny, the young murderer who killed his openly gay classmate, Lawrence King, has been sentenced to 21 years in prison as part of a plea deal. Personally, I think McInerny absolutely deserved more time; he shot a boy in the head, TWICE, at point blank range! But 21 years (plus the four already served) is a long time, and there is the very real possibility that every single minute of every single day of those entire 21 years will be an absolutely hellacious experience in every regard – the punishment should fit the crime. Lawrence King is dead and he will never see another day, good or bad. I feel no sympathy for the murderous bigot who robbed him and his family of his life.
