Josh Earnest, principal deputy White House press secretary, said he was not familiar with the murder of Australian jogger Chris Lane during Wednesdays White House briefing.
When asked by Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry about the Chris Lane case, Earnest responded, Im not familiar with it, actually.
Henry explained the case in brief to Earnest looking for reaction to the Oklahoma shooting death of Lane at the hands of bored African-American teens who thought it would be fun to kill somebody.
This sounds like a pretty tragic case. I wouldnt want to get ahead of the legal process here and its clear that law enforcement officials are involved and are investigating, Earnest said. But any act of violence is something that the president I think himself has spoken pretty eloquently about violence in our communities and he stood at this podium a few weeks ago where he talked about his concern about the impact that violence is having on, in particular, young people in this country.
Good one.
“sit there”.... sigh.
Hey, if Obama were a TV show creator, he would have a new one about the Chris Lane murder called “My Three Sons”.
The State Dept. commented on it but the White House doesn’t know?
I think Josh (Oh-So)Earnest is going to be the New Paid Liar for the White House. J. Carney hasn’t really quit yet, but even pigs can reach a point to where it all get too stinky, and the pig wants out of the slop.
You know it actually makes sense. The media isn’t reporting it because Obama doesn’t know yet. As soon as they get their briefing on it they will cover the story.
Ed should then have asked the spox if he knew about
Christian and Newsome.
From the Office of Attorney General; State of Oklahoma
Dear Mr. President,
Perhaps you are now aware that three under-aged individuals (two of them could have been your sons) decided to murder an innocent foreign national ‘just for the fun of it’. But apparently as of the afternoon of August 21, 2013, your White House spokesman said you (and apparently the official policy of your administration) were not aware of this case.
While we are sure someone in your office probably received at least one phone call from the Australian Embassy about it, I completely understand the position that such incidents should be ‘frowned upon’, and perhaps it would be better to allow the Australian Prime Minister to speak on the matter. After all, such international incidents need not the attention of an administration who is desperate need of allies these days.
With that said, our office has decided to give this case as much attention as you think it deserves. For this reason, due to over-crowding in our prisons, we will be placing these troubled suspects within the general adult population at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, Oklahoma until their trial dates. And in an effort to promote diversity, we will be placing at least two them with the more fair-skinned inmates (you know, the ones that look more like... your mother).
If you, or the United States Department of Justice have “civil rights” questions about this action (as I’m sure you will), please contact:
Kim Beazley, Australian Ambassador to the USA
1601 Massachusetts Ave, NW
Washington DC 20036
(202) 797 3000
...and I’m sure he’ll make you “more aware” this case. Or, simply return his phone call.
Sincerely,
Scott Pruitt
Attorney general, State of Oklahoma
Not this time. They're going to be tried as adults. Punishment would be youth prison until they're 18 (21), then turned into the general prison population.
Beckel went nuts on The Five today, ranting guns-guns-guns-guns-guns-guns, ban-ban-ban-ban-ban, then let loose the overused liberal howler “Do you people know what the rest of the world thinks of us here in America!!!?”
Well, frankly ol’ Beefy Bob, I don’t give a d@mn what the rest of the world thinks! F*** them and the Al-Jazeera they rode in on! Wish the rest of the world would stay the h*** away, but that’s not what the rest of the world is doing, now are they Bob?
Tennessee and Oklahoma doesn’t vote Obama.
Lyin sack. Hussein just doesn’t want to be forced into taking a position, so he acts dumb. He’s not dumb, he pure ev1l.
Matt Patrick was still saying on his radio program today that it was 2 blacks and a white teen. I almost kicked the radio. If obama is the first black president and he’s half black, then the half black teen is black.
If Barack doesn’t see them talking about it on THE VIEW it’s not news.
Unless they can find a way to make the victim a white-insert some minority or other “special” group here.
They had no such hesitation for the Trayvon case. Had no problem making their pronouncements and inciting racial animosity.
Now that the victim is white, they would like to keep it quiet, and "let the legal process take its course." Is that hypocrisy or just blatant racism?

Don’t want to get ahead of the legal process??? Since when???
Is that a real letter??
They are too young to get the death penalty but will be tried as adults.
