Baseball Player Killed Because Kids "Were Bored"

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/9583091/baseball-player-killed-kids-were-bored

An Australian man attending an Oklahoma college on a baseball scholarship was shot and killed in what police described Monday as a random act of violence by three "bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for the fun of it.

Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was found dead Friday while visiting the town of Duncan, where his girlfriend and her family live. Three boys, ages 15, 16, and 17, are in custody and face a court appearance Tuesday afternoon.

Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said Monday a woman called 911 after she saw Lane stagger across the road and fall to the ground in the south-central Oklahoma town of about 24,000 residents. Ford said Lane, who was staying with his girlfriend and her family in Duncan, had jogged past a home where the three boys were staying. He said the shooting appeared to be completely random.

...

"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" Ford said. "The boy who has talked to us said: 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"


WTF?

2. Gotta wonder about the background of these kids.....

I'm telling you, these guys were likely either abused as kids(or grew up in homes where physical violence and/or other malevolence was common), or are mentally ill, or even both!....that's usually the problem with people like this, as this stuff just does not happen with normal kids who grew up with good families(no matter if materially "spoiled" or not).   

Rest in peace, Chris Lane......you died too young.

53. I thought I'd read on DU by a member in the gun control group that

"Thugs" was a "dog whistle" term. I am not jumping on you for using it but do you believe "thugs" to be a dog whistle term?

Sometimes I think that Recursion might be a reasonable one, if there is such a thing. He was one of the few DUmmies stating facts during the Trayvon trial. He's still a DUllard but seems nearly human.

Or, maybe, they're obamasons who have been fed liberal victimhood all of their lives and were allowed to run wild by their "gimme dat" genetic makeup donors?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

No dog whistle, FACT.

Two black men (well just innocent children like Martin only younger) attacked and killed an innocent white man.

F-A-C-T!

Just shocked that they showed the picture of possible 0bama sons. I usually have to infer when race is not mentioned. Exactly like when a politicians party is not mentioned.

It is possible that the unintended consequence of the democrat progressive Saint Skittles witch hunt of George Zimmerman is that the media may just start reporting the FACTS about black on white crime and murder. Wouldn't that give all the progressive DUchebags a big bunch of butt hurt?

Part of the problem of us watching them is their unwillingness to be themselves. We're in a better position than are they to be honest of what they would really like to say.

That's true.

But I'm sure that sooner or later the wife-abandoning sparkling old dude or the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive's going to weigh in, feeling sorry for the killers because of their race.

They will all swear up and down race played no role. This is all while Oprah, now one of the zombies for owebuma is insisting that the Zimmerman case was all about race, even though everyone involved said it wasn't. Who are you going to believe the libs or your own lying ears and eyes ?

..The PhDD chimes in..

Quote from: Star Member BainsBane (15,506 posts)

95. I don't see this as a gun case

other than they should not have had access to guns. They were underage and obviously unfit to use them. I think this is one of those situations where idle teens behave in incomprehensibly horrific ways. It's the way they described their motivation for killing the man that is so awful. "we were bored" and thought it would be "fun." It's chilling.


Now we know where she draws the line.  It seems gun cases only involve creepy-ass crackas and White Hispanics as the shooter. When the shooter is a black kid who picked a mark out at random and killed him because of 'boredom' and then dances at the police station in joy over it, it suddenly isn't.

I'm guessing she is pegging this as a mental health issue instead. I can't help but to wonder if the PhDD had the same diagnosis over a few other shootings where the perp was obviously disturbed, yet also a cracka-ass-honky ? -Giffords, The movie theater, Newtown ? All obviously mental, yet white ?

Somehow, I doubt it.
