FULL TITLE: Pictured with guns and stacks of cash: Two teens charged with murder after 'shooting college baseball star dead because they were BORED'

Two of the teens accused of gunning down a promising Australian student in the street 'just for the fun of it' were today charged with first-degree murder and the third as an accessory.

Chris Lane, 22, originally from Melbourne, was jogging in the small town of Duncan in Oklahoma on Friday when he was shot in the back and left to die in the gutter.

James Edwards, 15, and Chancey Luna, 16, are charged as adults with first-degree murder and are being held without bond.

Michael Jones, 17, is charged with use of a vehicle while a weapon was discharged and accessory after the fact of first degree murder. His bond is set at $1million

Jones said in open court today, 'I pulled the trigger', but the judge directed him to remain quiet Chris was in the U.S. on a baseball scholarship and was returning from a visit to his girlfriend when he was senselessly gunned down because the teens were 'bored'.

Duncan Police say it appears the boys were keeping a log of the crimes on their Facebook pages and believe they killed an animal before shooting Chris.

They also think they were planning to kill again just four hours after his murder.

James Edwards tweeted on last Tuesday - just two days before the shooting - that he was 'With my n*****s when it's time to start taken life's [sic].'

His Facebook profile is filled with pictures of him making gang signs, holding guns and wads of cash and he even has a Vimeo of him brandishing a shotgun.

No hate crime
No endless MSM coverage
No obama speaking on the crime
No demonstrations
No threats of riots
No Jesse Jackson speeches
No Sharpton crowds
No Eric Holder
No federal civil rights charges

WHAT COULD BE DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS CRIME???????

And yet they want to take your personal gun away, so you can’t defend yourself. I wonder who these politicians think they represent? Lobbyists? Pressure groups? Donors? They certainly don’t represent me.

We are supposed to be politically correct. In this case, that means no hate crime, no mention that the killers are feral black youth, no discussion of whether race hatred was a motive, etc.

In the Zimmerman case, all the liberals could talk about was race. In a case like this, the liberals will say that the race of either victim or killer is unimportant. That’s the world we live in today.

Sadly - yes.

But fight on. Never give up. Talk with family and friends. The internet is a great equalizer.

That’s the world we live in today.

I would be interested to know what impact our beloved media had in stirring up hate by its 24/7 coverage of the Treyvon Martin trial and aftermath. The old rule of advertising was that customers had to hear something 50 times on tv or radio before it had an impact on their purchasing activities. The media hit this thousands of time, the victimization, the purported racism of society, the race of Zimmerman, the unsoiled nature of the victim, the fact that anyone wearing a “hoodie” is automatically suspect, etc , all themes that if you pound them long enough, will spark someone inclined to violence in the first place to justify what they then do and/or make them more prone to do it. Does anyone else think that the media is so separated from most of middle class America, that they delight in stirring up animosities and division, and that unlike normal people, the media could care less who is an unintended victim of their constant deceit and mendacity?

This wasn’t a hate crime it was a fun crime.

These boys thought it would be fun to murder a white man.

They would stop laughing if they lived 75 years ago.

A rope around the neck stops a lot of laughter.

Hang the little nimrods from a light pole and hang anyone who tries to cut them down.

Heads on a pike and I guarantee the next group will think twice before doing the same.

So I assume Obamas sons were robbing quite a lot as well?

I just love the photos of the parents crying. Hey, my kid is 15 too and guess what? There is no way in hell he is in a gang, no way in hell he has stacks and stacks of 100 dollar bills and no way in hell is he posting photos of himself on Facebook with guns while making gang signs. I know exactly what my kid is doing every minute of every day. What is your excuse?

and where do we read about this???

In a British newspaper...MSM in American will report very little of this event, as it is Black Americans who murdered a white man by shooting him in the back..

MSM in America is too busy reporting on obama’s look like son, Treyvon..they are too busy trying to get a race riot going..

sad days in America..PRAY FOR AMERICA..

Everyone who incited the Trayvon narrative; including Obama; himself; has blood on their hands. Not that they can care; mind you. This will only matter; should it be the 'Left' who become the 'incidental target'of their own, determinedly 'soulless'; degraded and contemptible hate for life.

Meantime; we know we will not hear from Obama; that any one of these perps 'could have been me'. We do know of course; as easily per the 'truth' of Trayvon; it could have been. No question that Obama embodies the contempt and degradation he speaks of; and invites.

It is a Leftist 'thing'.

And for that matter; it is an Islamist thing as well. (Works both ways; for Obama per his Leftist Mind; and Muslim heart.)

Those ferrel boys were busy making dollars for their mammas. The tears were for the money they would no longer get. The boyz in the hood got caught. Others are running the drugs and pimping their ho’s for the dollar. This is the black culture fueled by the black market and welfare reaching a mutant state. We have a culture rolling along like a toxic blight on society.

If they had just ran him over with their car, we would never have heard about it. But because the poor little children were seduced into using an evil FIREARM, even Australia is calling for boycotts on America until we get rid of all our guns like they did.

Two black kids and a white boy. And it looks like the white boy claimed, before the judge ordered him to shut up, to be the one who pulled the trigger.

You have the perps mixed up. The mutant who ran his mouth in court was one of the black ones. The white one is facing somewhat lesser charges because he was the driver, not the gunman.

Everyone who incited the Trayvon narrative; including Obama; himself; has blood on their hands. Hope Australia stays 'loud and clear' on their asking Australians to boycott America. It might at the very least; get Obama's attention; and that of the Media - beyond Drudge and the 'Net'; that is.

What pathetic contempt of life Liberalism fosters and embeds in a culture. We all know the old, Garbage in; Garbage out and Et Al wisdom speak; and thanks to Liberals; the Left; and the misguided; and those now; just plain evil by their ignorance; we are reaping what has been sown by way of a Liberal culture that proudly defies all moral rationale.

There are many good people of all 'colors' in our Country; but it should behoove the Blacks to see what is being sown 'in their name'. The Left is pushing back Blacks to the stereotype from which they suffered for years to overcome; post being brought here.

The 'Mexican' immigrants will not be far behind; as they are 'next' on the list for becoming disabled; disabused; dehumanized; by a Democrat, Leftist; socialist Government; which by it's 'lights'- or lack thereof, in fact - has long established; this IS their 'Forward'*.

(*A contemptible, albeit typical, bait and switch; but true to the Leftist lexicon of the Oxymoronic, that defines their messaging.)

Wake Up; any who 'tune in' here; who imagine that being an Obama Democrat; a Liberal; a Leftist. . .is a 'good thing'.
