A college baseball player jogging on the streets of Oklahoma was shot to death by three teenagers, one of whom told police they were “bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody,” authorities said.
UN-FRIGGIN'-BELIEVABLE. If they were *that* bored they should have just killed themselves not an innocent bystander. Dumb fvcks. I hope they fry.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 10:49amI saw this story on the overnight news. Sickening. And his family is all the way in Australia.

It *is* sickening!
This was senseless. Gunned down like an animal by animals. It breaks my heart.

Horrifying.
My prayers go out to this man's family.

They won't fry, the Supreme Court ruled that minors cannot be charged with Capital Punishment unfortunately.

Posted: 8/20/13 at 11:04amI wish I could say it's unbelievable. It's absolutely heartbreaking.

If you read the article, it says that two of the teens have already been accused of other unrelated murders.
"They won't fry, the Supreme Court ruled that minors cannot be charged with Capital Punishment unfortunately."
One of them is just over 18 according to the article.

And they were planning to commit more murders.
This is horribly upsetting. I hope all three of the murderers get the maximum sentence possible.

Sickening.
I don't care how old they are, they should never be allowed to roam free again. Whether it's a jail or a mental ward, they are the definition of a menace to society.

Here is a link where they are ID'd:

None of them are over 18, so what I originally posted was incorrect.

"But their parents yesterday protested their innocence"
Of course they did. Because they couldn't possibly be bad parents...

Posted: 8/20/13 at 4:43pmI'm gonna go there and ask, since the boys are people of color and the random victim was white, do you think it was race-related?

Posted: 8/20/13 at 5:13pmMy personal opinion is that the race of the victim was coincidental. If it had been a person of any other race, they would have still killed him/her because they were "bored."

Posted: 8/20/13 at 5:42pmThis nation is not Russia. Christopher Lane did not deserve to have his life taken from him by bored teens with nothing else to do other than murder an innocent person.

In my home if you said you were bored you'd have to do a chore.

Good God... What the hell? Three teen boys got so bored that they decide to kill someone, didn't matter who it was?
I'D RATHER SEE THEM DEAD!!!
Those filth don't deserve to live on Earth, I want justice for the victim and his family (my prayers go out to them).

Posted: 8/20/13 at 7:18pmThe 17 year old will be a witness for the Prosecution and probably get some sort of reduced sentence. I do hope the two who pulled the trigger get life without parole.

Looks like all three will be charged as adults.
Cases like this with zero % reasonable doubt would make me open to public executions

How long before society in general gets blamed for this despicable act? I can hear it now, it happened because we don't provide anything for these kids to do.
