Possibly -- and I'm not trying to argue with you just now, but the kid that got shot seemed to have a lot more problems than just not being accepted as gay. His actions seemed to be highly provocative, and very unwise.

I don't have time to look it up now, but one commentator today said that there was a story floating around the news somewhere that the principal of the school may have been more encouraging of the behavior than proper, right down to giving the student a strapless green dress. Again, I don't have time right now to look it up, so take that with a grain of salt.

I almost wonder if this was something similar to "suicide by cop," but with students instead.
