    This is horrible, being shot for just being gay, What a psychopath. He is a known criminal already and has been the cause of other homophobic violence.

    The US again needs to do something about its gun policy

    People make me sick sometimes. If only we could all love each other instead of hate.

    Hate like this doesn't arise unless there is a serious problem with society.

    It's a stupid people problem, not a gun problem. That being said, this is a horrible crime and I wish that New York still had the death penalty so that people like this gunman could get their just desserts.

    I don't mean to distract from the tragedy, and this is a horrible tragedy, but this occurred in New York. New York has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, perhaps only second to California and Massachusetts.

    Good job man, you just ruined your life because of your own ridiculous self-hatred of being gay. Bravo Morales.

    Morales looks like a fucking lunatic.

    This creep should never see the light of day again.

    Actually we do have the death penalty but only a judge can give someone the death penalty but that's against the constitution. So we have it but we don't have any way to use it. They could just replace judge with jury in the law and boom we have a WORKING death penalty but the officials don't want to change it because they don't want to look like they are for or against it -_-. It's amazing the things you learn when your best friend is a criminal justice major lol.
