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.

These punks ‘hand signs’ certainly aren’t the result of atrophied fingers. Likewise, that one punks blue rag covering his face ain’t for no dust in the air.

...how did these kids get their hands on such high end guns?

Implies some shady dealings long before the killing, doesn't it?

Or is the Organizer arming the masses?

The guns had serial numbers sawed off, or so I heard. They were thought to be stolen. Now whether these kids stole them from their original owners or whether they got them from somebody else who had stolen them, I don’t know.

Yes, I live in northeast OK (Tulsa area) and this case is in Duncan in south-central OK. The local media are following it pretty well, especially in OKC. I would say the postings on FR from the Aussie media are more informative. Basic status is preliminary hearings for charges and getting them certified as adults. This will open the court proceedings considerably.

The local prosecutor has been forthright in his statements about the crime and was the one who revealed the “bored” aspect behind the crime. I’m hoping the local media kicks it up a notch in some investigative reporting about these low-lifes and the dysfunction from which they appear to have sprung. I’ve only seen mothers and other females in the court hallway footage so it appears this is another case of males acting as sperm donors only.

Love the ahole with the shirt he got from the recruiter throwing up the gang signs.

These guys will be the front line troops when the collapse comes.

These kids were “bored” so they went out and shot someone?

“Bored” is not a word you will hear around here.

When I was a kid (numerous years ago) if/when we got “bored”, we got to clean the barn or the chicken coop, split more firewood, weed the garden, etc. We never ran out of things to keep us occupied.

Perhaps the cities where these “sewer rats” are spwaned need to consider a “Youth Work Program”. Failure to get into the program, you loose your welfare checks plus other handouts, you either work or go to jail where there is a job waiting for you as you enter the door.

Yep. They'll own the big cities and, to an extent, the connecting interstate highways... for a while.

Hi BG.
The Duncan Banner is the local paper there. I am not familiar with the town. He was shot on Country Club Road. Wonder if that is a “better” part of town. Did shooters live near or cruise that area looking for “white” or “rich”.

Cannot believe the one on the left is wearing a hoodie, in the OK summer heat

Seems like all of the parents are surprised that their kids are in or trying to get into a gang. Agree with you; if they would have been more involved as parents this may not have happened. A little too late now.

We need a national conversation on the best way to apply RICO laws to stomp down on all lawless gangs, bloods, crips, MS-13

That DimRat carnage was not limited to the black community, it damaged the prospects for everyone in the country. Just one example is the immense $10-20k/yr stolen w/ property taxation to edumacate a bunch of structural illiterate, low IQ parasites! Time to starve the BEAST!

He forgot to mention: He helps old ladies across the street. He wants to be a rocket scientist. He says good morning to me each day. It is the White man's fault. It is Bush's fault. The Republicans are to blame. He has plans to be a brain surgeon. It is society's fault.

But as time goes by and the msm ramps up efforts to bestow sainthood on him and the rest of his merry gang, expect more tear jerkers.

Pure unadulterated bullshit. At the most, he is sorry that the little angel got caught so early.

Don’t expect too much and you won’t be disappointed.

And they tried telling us that one of these fine young specimens was “white”? Shameful.

Black culture. No God. Unwed mothers. Welfare. No fathering. No wonder.
