Bored Teens Kill for Fun

[ventilator]

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.

Pretty unbelievable that there are kids out there this messed up.

Heard that on the news this morning....incredible.

 

[snickerd3]

they thought they were bored then...

 

[ktulu]

WTF?

 

[sycamore PE]

Wow. Now I am sad this morning. The statement about this being a nationwide trend with teens is scary.

 

[Ble_PE]

No words...

 

[Krakosky]

That's absolutely horrifying.

they thought they were bored then...

I'm sure Bubba and company in the county lockup will make things exciting for them.

Too bad the death penalty can't be applied to people under 18 years old.

 

[Slugger926]

It was gang related. The DA will probably try them as adults, and yes, the death penalty could be applied.

 

[mudpuppy]

yes, the death penalty could be applied.

Not according to Roper v. Simmons.

I don't think Oklahoma agrees with the feds on a lot of things, and will probably argue for State's rights.

No words...

Three sounds, though.

Bang, bang, bang.

Or...

The soft twang of three ropes tightening on necks as the platform drops.

Your choice. easy solution.

Slugger: I haven't seen or heard anything in the reports about gangs. what's the 411?

The parents are claiming that the kids were not in a gang. I doubt that such a small Oklahoma town would even have real gangs. The town is predominately white with blacks making up on 1% of the population. I'm not saying that this was because of race, but there is no one mentioning it unlike all of the other cases where a black man/kid was shot.

I know they released their names and pictures, but I'm saying that if it was white kids who shot a black kid, the media and "rights activists" would be all over it. I have not heard anyone mention that it was 3 black kids who randomly shot a white kid.

 

[MA_PE]

I agree. FWIW, the Jones kid looks white (non-black) to me.

^I believe he is.

Not that it really matters...

I'm really trying to avoid stereotypes......
