'Bored' teenagers murder college baseball player for 'fun'
CBS Sports ^ | August 19, 2013 | Mike Snyder

Every once in a while you read something that truly shakes your faith in humanity. This would be one of those stories.

Christopher Lane was a 22-year-old baseball player for East Central University in Oklahoma. Friday, he was killed in a completely random act, according to police. Three boys, ages 15, 16 and 17 are in police custody for the slaying.

From the Associated Press:

"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" [Duncan police chief Danny] 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.'"

"They followed him in the car to that area, shot him in the back and drove off," Ford said.

Ford also noted that the boys said they killed Lane for "the fun of it."

Hopefully some family members will do the right thing. They will kill again, no doubt about it.

Who ARE they?

This case is getting a lot of coverage in Australia. The victim was a young, generous, vibrant sports player, who went abroad to make a contribution. You can see his character in his face.

Sounds like a pest problem in need of an exterminator.

The US is a soulless country. And it’s only going to get worse.

This was for Saint Skittles, so it is perfectly understandable.

Right, Jesse and Al and Eric and Hussein?

Time to clean up our culture. Get rid of every common way of making crime pay; get rid of the “war on Drugs”; Get rid of pawnshops and anything else with a “We Buy Gold” sign open to the public; get rid of anything which openly promotes sadism; get rid of professional wrestling; get rid of MMA cage fights; get rid of rap “music”; get rid of Hollywood gore/sadism movies; get rid of any sort of video games which look like psychopathic pursuits.......

they aren’t really kids. They are sociopaths. Normal kids would have a conscience that would prevent them from taking a human life out of boredom. Sociopaths only understand challenge and selecting whom to kill would be of interest to them.

Time to bring back public hangings at the county court house. The friends of this feral scum can watch them dance on air.

My heartfelt sympathies to the family of this young Aussie.

This stuff is getting more difficult to take. The vermin are on the attack daily...surely making daddy proud, otherwise he’d do something.
