    Ready to fight

    I'm ready to fight so many adults defending Brandon. He killed someone and was being influenced by his toxic, white supremacist brother. Some of these adults just seemed like they didn't care about Larry because he was gay. I get it. He was young, but Jiminy Christmas, they thought 21 yrs was excessive. It was murder that was pretty much an execution. Overall, the doc was good, but jeez, some people just shouldn't be around kids.

    Meet the Village

    It takes a village to murder a child. Meet the adults lacking in morality who warped one of their own children to murder another child they didn't like. They've never been so proud.

    I feel sick after watching this docu

    I really felt sick after seeing this documentary.

    Its hard when you show both sides and it was important to show both sides, but when people don't realise how bad the situation was... And even try to blame the little kid... Oh my god...

    I suggest you don't watch it alone but with somebody you can talk to if you are sensitive.

    America the land of the dreams right... bleh.

    Pure horror

    I am speachless after this documentary. How can the adults live with themselves after acting like this? It's terrifying how they sympatice for someone that killed someone else for showing unwanted affection. I really hope that people learn from this so people can feel the freedom of being themselves without fear.

    Self centered adults lacking in morality

    That's what I got from this film. Almost ALL of the adults seem like a bunch of narrow minded zombies. Is it any wonder that such a tragedy occurred?

    The school should have taken control of the situation, clearly it was a powder keg waiting for a spark.

    Larry should have been counseled as to how to deal with his issues.

    Brandon was another lost kid and ended up killing Larry. The school and his parents were absent and incompetent, if either side would have exercised a little guidance we would have seen a totally different outcome.

    The jurors are another group of idiots who have their heads up their a$$es.

    I could have done without all the interviews with the kids- a little goes a long way.

    In conclusion, I was quite literally shocked that these backward people went on camera and admitted to being so closed minded. No wonder the kids are screwed up!
