Parents of 'bored' teens who 'shot Australian baseball star' weep in court...
Daily Mail ^ | Aug 21, 2013 | Meghan Keneally

The parents of the slain Australian baseball player are not the only ones hurting today as the relatives of the accused teen shooters have also spoken out about their sons, clinging onto the belief that they are not murderers.
.
.
When News.au asked if Ms Luna had a message for the victim’s family, she said: ‘I feel sorry for them, my heart goes out to them, it really does, but that's my baby too. My boy was a baby too.’

‘If I could do something about it, I would.’
.
.
Mr Edwards is holding onto his belief that his son was not involved.

‘I don't think (he was involved)...Because he's not the type of person. He likes to wrestle. He's into sports,’ Mr Edwards said according to Australia’s News9.

‘I’m hurting the same way (as Lane’s parents). I don’t cry on the outside but I am crying on the inside right now,’ Mr Edwards said.

‘If I could do something about it, I would.’

Too late, they had 15+ years of chances to raise their kids well. Now, they can kiss their boys' asses goodbye ...

The 16-year-old's mother said her son should be punished if guilty, but not for the rest of his life.

I guess this bitch doesn't think Lane's parents won't have to deal with this the rest of their lives huh?

Did Allen West suggest there’s a connection to the totally politicized Zimmmerman persecution ?

Where a multi racial security guard just doing his job in a gated, which means anyone can be stopped and questioned, multi-racial community of modest means. Tired of black toughs breaking into or burgularizing their property. Gets turned into an exclusive jewish white community who’s white jewish (later “white” hispanic) security guard stalks a 10 year old black kid and murders him because he’s black.

All because Obama needed some example to whip up unrest within the black community perhaps to scare off investigations into corruption and malfeasance which could lead to impeachment.The irony being creating unrest within a solid group of supporters whom he’s really done nothing for .

While West hasn’t drawn that connection to it directly. The media is assiduously avoiding any connection to the three suspected notorious black gang members who were “stalking” the Aussie visiting baseball player by back shooting some white kid on a run .

It might be the only reason we’re hearing about it is because it has turned into an international incident. With Austrailians demanding to know what happened.

Thanks just wondered why they were not shown in the images
which I thought was odd since they had wedding images of one of the perps mom.
Love your name by the way :)

Bored teens is a false flag to avoid the death penalty. It was a crop hit plain and simple because the deceased refused to join the crips

For as long as I live, I will never forgive the democrats and their bought and paid for, self-proclaimed black leaders for the absolute carnage they have wrought in and on the black community. It continues unabated and this administration has advanced the horror exponentially. NO administration in the history of this country has been worse for black people in the US than the one which they claim to be part of.

Which one is “turning his life around,” which one is working on his G.E.D., and which one is an aspiring rap star?

Don’t worry. Obama’s counselor to Black America has the solution.

Yes, they should, as a matter of routine. Consider it encouragement to be sure 100% of the time or better yet, keep those kids at home, in sight, with you, where you can be actually sure, not happy-delusionally-sure, of what they’re doing.

Pretty hard for even a bad kid to get into much trouble if they’re at home under supervision like they should be.

You got your facts wrong. The deceased was just an innocent jogger. They were laying in wait for another kid to shoot (the one they wanted to join the crips) when the cops caught them.

I met a lot of kids who did not do well on their own recognizance in college--who had been constantly supervised back home. Sooner or later they have to make their own decisions.

Practice makes perfect.

The key is that they know they are responsible for their actions, that those actions have consequences, and that the increase in demonstrated responsibility gains privilege while the lack of it costs.

Reaching the higher levels of trust gave our children status among their peers--a status they were not likely to risk by screwing up. We had the advantage of a tight parental network, too, and knew if our kids were behaving any way but the way they should before they even got home, just as our parents did.

If you can't leave them unsupervised then they haven't learned anything. Keep in mind, we're talking about their late teens here, an age when they are able to babysit, drive, etc., but the basics should be instilled by then.

Even with that, they will make their own decisions eventually, and the most constrained children often turn out to be the wildest.

Their age already insulates them from the death penalty, no matter that they meet multiple points of the criteria under Oklahoma law. And, just to emphasize the point made to you by another poster, your facts are wrong. They were caught because they were turned in by the father of the kid they wanted to turn to the thug life.

Grabbing their Anthony Weiners - such a mature pose

They must have learned that from the picture of _res__ent Obomba fondling himself while the National Anthem was playing.

This is the “fruit” of a society which “rejects” God and the Bible.

Are you from OK and know what is going on in regards to this crime case?

harmless teens like Trayvon right.

Could this have been a "for Trayvon" killing? Is there any evidence of it? If so, then it went very very wrong.

There’s a lot of no good that people get up to that ends way, way before murdering a stranger.

But you know what we’ll be told, it’s not their fault, the gun made them do it.

And these people don’t seem to be very well off, how did these kids get their hands on such high end guns? Aren’t guns expensive?
