    Ridiculous idiots! Dont ye just know that if they did enforce the rules of the school then the parents would probably sue for discrimination - boys should be allowed to wear skirts if the girls are!

    Some Americans are such idiots

    Load of crap, why didn't the parents do something about him wearing it if they thought it was an issue, it is up to them not the school , no doubt had it been the school who said no and kicked him out they'd sue for discrimination...

    Parents to blame...? Feck off!

    Either it's a free country or it isn't.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Understandable is the grief of the family but it must have been quite the optimistic lawyer who advised them they may have grounds to sue the school.

    Where is the link between allowing a boy to wear make up leading to his being shot? It is not the school's fault but most likely the parents trying to blame everyone but themselves
    Not really the parent's fault either.

    I'd blame the person behind the gun.

    Huh, strange place to lay the blame.
    How did his classmate get a gun, and why was he so upset about the way someone dresses?
    Seriously missing the bigger picture here I think.

    I didn't say they were to blame either I said if it was an issue of blame they can't blame the school as the school doesn't have responsibility for what he wears but they do as he is only 15 years old.

    This already happened with some lad wearing a kilt. Don't know if he sued or not but definitly kicked up a discrimination case and the school had to allow him to wear it.

    I personally think that the shooter should take the majority of the blame here.

    Sorry I should clarify, I meant the parents are to blame for letting him wear the make up if you could blame anyone for allowing such unnatural carry-on!
    Of course the gun man is directly to blame for the death

    You've hit the nail on the lad. That lad shouldn't have been shot had he been wearing a bloody ballerina dress, there's no excuse for murder and it's not something you can plan for.

    The thing is that they'll probably win the law suit because the school didn't in fact enforce the dress code of the school.

    But surely they'd have to prove that the killer wouldn't have killed had the victim been wearing ''normal'' clothes for the whole school year. Plus even if the killer hadn't of killed in those circumstances, he probably still would have killed based on the fact the victim would have (most likely) continued to wear makeup. Because i doubt make up is against school policy, and they can hardly ask him not to wear it because he's not a girl.

    Americans ftLOSE!!!

    Maybe his murder had nothing to do with his dress sense or sexual orientation? Maybe he was just a little shit?

    Seems he wasn't even living with them. He was a ward of the court and living in a shelter for abused, neglected and emotionally disturbed children at the time of the shooting.

    That was something to do with the knife that he was wearing with the kilt as well that the school had a problem with I believe. They said he couldn't have the knife so he claimed he was being discriminated against for being Scottish or something.

    Not really. I think they all have a part to play. If it was an attempt at humour I would have said something like this. "I thought the kid would have enjoyed it when some guy shot his load in his face"

    How does the kid have a part to play based on the facts as reported? Is the fact he dressed up meant to imply he was being deliberately provocative and deserved it in some measure?

    Please go on, i'm am curious as to how you think the kid played a part in his own death.

    *sits on edge of seat*
