Valentine Road

And pretty hard to evaluate the objectivity of the producers and director. i must really say that how this film developed from a pure assassination scheme on a case of hatecrime , genderification and racehate, and ended up in the complete opposite direction where white supremacy is a major issue in ventura county, as these voices thinks that whites are becoming outnumbered by other races and colours of skin, and where the hodloom that shot the gun should be freed cause of his young age and that he was provoked by the victims transgender behaviour. so was this a white supremacists documentary, whos the culprit in this case? i think its easy to tell that a killing has happened, and the my simple mind says that he should also be convicted some way or another? another open question shouldve been the mental statuses by both the victim and the shooter. and its also a question of how the justice system is made, shouldnt there be a rule especially when the jurys are hung in their opinions that the judge could make the final ruling when the status quo is so off the record unbelievable as in this case.?

well im threading the deep waters of american intolerance by saying these uttering, but i know how to swim, but good advertising for oxnard california it aint. as a film product it does engage the viewer, its an emotional roller coaster for all its worth, and should be held as an example how inconsequent a nation may be, and how dangerously divided on everything they seems to be.

the grumpy old man knows documentaries are made to teach and to provoke, they really provoked me, so a 7 with a recommend

On February 12, 2008, in Oxnard, California, grade 8 student bully Brandon McInerney shots his effeminate classmate Larry King twice in the back of the head in class and then just walks away. Brandon is caught a couple of blocks away. He is supposedly the good one according to his family and friends. Larry King is overtly flamboyantly gay and even declares publicly that Brandon is his Valentine. This documentary examines the troubled abused lives of both boys.

This is a more in-depth examination of a passing story in the headlines. It shows that the story behind the story. The documentary seems to be trying to rehabilitate Brandon and then the prosecutor shows his fights in detention. The movie takes a turn into white supremacist area and the tension ends for me. It's kind of a drop-the-mike moment. At that point, there is really nothing to learn from Brandon. I would have argued for Brandon to be interviewed for the documentary but quite frankly, I don't see the point after the neo-nazi stuff. Maybe he'll reform in prison but it's hard to see that happening.

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.

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 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.
