Case-in-Point About Why People Are Afraid of Young Black Men: 22 Year Old Aussie Gunned Down Because Teens were "Bored"

This is exactly why people are suspicious and afraid of young black males.

Prosecutors charged 15-year-old James Francis Edwards Jr. and 16-year-old Chancey Allen Luna with first-degree murder on Tuesday. Police say the two killed 22-year-old Christopher Lane on Friday to overcome boredom. Under Oklahoma law, anyone who is 15 or older and facing a first-degree murder charge is automatically tried in adult court.

They pretty much saw the guy run by their house and they piled into a car and drove after him and then shot him in the back. This is what they said to police.

Ford said a 17-year-old defendant, Jones, told officers that the three teenagers were bored and shot Lane for "the fun of it."

Jones said in open court "I pulled the trigger," but the judge directed him to remain quiet, saying Tuesday was not the day to discuss the facts of the case.

"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.'"



Hell, they didn't even try to rob him. They just shot him in the back and drove off. That has to be one of the most callous things I have heard of in a long time. Thankfully Oklahoma law allows someone that commits a capital crime to be tried as an adult. Although the thought of having to pay to house these psychopaths for the rest of their natural lives really sucks.
