We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody

[Jack Burton]

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Australian baseball player out for a jog in an Oklahoma neighborhood was shot and killed by three "bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun, police said.

This is where our society is at today...

3 dumb@## teens bored, so they thought they would kill somebody. I cannot believe what I am reading.. What a society.

Killing for fun? They sure as hell better be tried as adults.

I will wait to see how this is handled. But I have a feeling the President is not going to weigh in on it publicly as he did in the TM vs Zimmerman case.

Judging by their Facebook photos, this was likely some sort of gang initiation. Of course their mothers gave the usual line, "not my baby. He's a good boy. He had nothing to do with this."

At least we can take solace in the fact that these kids are so dumb, there should be enough evidence for a quick conviction.

I saw this too--they should be tried as adults. When I was that age, here are the things I did when I was bored:
1) Go outside
2) Stare at girls
3) Hang out with friends
4) Stare at girls
5) Play Nintendo

What kind of kids shoot someone when they're bored?

Oh. Also, why does that article blurr out a choice word? That word needs to be unblurred on news sites. It's being said on twitter, it can be said on the news. I guarantee Obama will have nothing to say about these three perfect citizens. Wait, maybe he'll make a plea for them to be tried as juveniles. I'm sure they know what they did was wrong, they just need a little guidance...right?

Idiot wanna-be gang bangers with a 3rd grade education and no parental supervision.

Heart desease used to be the #1 killer in this country.

Can't get the death penalty if not 18, correct?

But, perhaps we could make an exception for the shooter.

Despicable. Throw the book at em.

Go to school or work.

Hate Crime..

Where is Holder, Sharpton, Jackson,+Obama to jump on the Federal Hate Crime charges??

Seems like they had NO PROBLEM with the Fed charges down in Fla. awhile back???..Bill.

 

[SmokinSigs357]

This story makes me so upset. Every ensuing generation gets more desensitized and more enabled to do these things. So many questions... May justice be fast and fierce...

 

[addictedhealer]

Ill be more than happy to donate the three bullets.

Not expecting, "Uhhh, I could have been Christopher Lane 35 years ago"??

Me neither.

^^^ THIS ^^^

 

[comanche]

this is just like the two 'boys' in Linton who killed a girl a few weeks ago 'just to see what it was like'....

 

[JetGirl]

Couldn't have been those sweet young honor student yoots. The momma of somebody and the daddy of somebody else both said, "Not my good baby boy"... and one of them liked wrestling. So obviously, they were good boys who couldn't have done this.

Vomit purple where applicable.

 

[churchmouse]

This is by all outward appearances a racially motivated crime. No white Hispanic on a sensitive young slightly mis-guided black youth.
These straight up thugs looked for a victim....picked one out and killed him for sport. Where is the president????

Hate crime is a misnomer. Killing/torturing/beating a person is a crime already. WTF will they do, execute them twice?

Things are only hate crimes when tossed into the political arena. Kill a person that is no threat to you, and you are guilty of murder. Odds are you hate them to one degree or another, or you probably wouldn't have done "it".
