Hey now, she and her precious tax credit son are just practicing alternative forms of income earning and getting back at whitey for his crimes against them...don't judge her, she and her spawn are totally innocent.

These kids had cold cold hearts.

Psychopaths like that ain't got hearts.

It's four days already. I haven't seen a comment from Obama yet. What's the hold up?

He's trying to figure out which one to claim as his son. And hasn't figured out how to use a quarter toss to do so.

[Hawkmoon]

At least one of them looks like obama trayvon.

I'm waiting for the President to announce that, "If I had a son, he'd look like that."

Should I hold my breath?

Social media, what a wealth of ...... well, it is something.

Not surprisingly, there is quite a bit of hate going on there.

I don't think the other one was as computer literate as his friends.

I first heard about this almost as soon as it happend, it was posted on a British bike forum, which has quite a few Australians on it. They were kind of taken aback how something like this could happen. I really didn't have a lot to say to them, after all, it is hard to explain how 3 teenagers just decide to go out and shoot someone, just for fun.

Are you in the UK?  Being new, I don't know.  But for those who are in the UK, this should not be a surprise at all.  They've always had their share of random killings with guns, knives, bats, swords.

[vaskidmark]

Why would she not be allowed to say that?

Prejudices the jury against him was my first guess - it was wrong.

The statement indicates premeditation (well, duh! if true) which eliminates the possibility of the lesser included crime of second degree murder.  He has the right to have the jury decide that he was just scum, as opposed to depraved scum.  I'm guessing that the prosecution has nothing except momma's allegation to go towards "proving" premeditation and thus agreed to put a block on discussing that issue in order to allow the jury to be able to decide based on other evidence that the murder was the product of a depraved mind.  Physical evidence from the scene ought to be able to do that.

This really puts stress on my desire to see that no innocent man is railroaded through a denial of their rights - all of their rights.  This is one of the better examples of how bad cases make good law.

stay safe.

Kind of like that case where they didn't want the woman to say that the man had raped her that was talked about here at some point.

[Levant]

Not to derail but what was that story?  What was she supposed to say the man had done to her?

[Sindawe]

Only one word fits those who commit such crimes.

Just because they happen to walk on two legs and make noises that sound like words does not negate what they are.

And they should meet the same end as others of their ilk.

I was going to post the same thing for the most part. Although we do have some UK members, Bob is not one of them. 

In England and the surrounding environs, random violence for the hell of it is the primary national pastime. It surpassed cricket and boiling random things and calling it cuisine a long time ago.

Only the Home Office cooking the books and counting only "murders" that are actually convicted as "murders" vs. plead lesser to manslaughter, or... never solved at all allows them to foist the fabrication that the UK is safer than the US on everyone. A true accounting shows them to be even with the US despite draconian gun control, if not actually a smidge higher.

Oh, snit!  Now it gets really deep -

http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/08/20/were-chris-lanes-teenage-killers-really-bored-warning-strong-language/

Picked it up from Instapundit (who had it yesterday but I missed it then).  PJ Media suggests 1) the teens were not "bored" but had amuch more henious motive, and 2) that the story being carried could be intentional "anti counter-Trevonism".

#1 makes me sputter as I look for that really dull, ragged-edged knife I keep on hand for flaying certain oxygen theives.

#2 makes me want to go "Hmmm" a whole lot.

stay safe.

edited to correct the Trevonism issue.

Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman, was asked about the allegations at a press conference Wednesday and said, "This sounds like a pretty tragic case." He went on to say he does not want to get ahead of the legal process.

Jennifer Luna, whose son is suspected of firing the fatal shot, claimed her son was at home saying: “My son is not that way. My son is a good kid.”

The three teens now say that they killed Lane at random because they were “bored.”

Why hasn't Ms. Luna been arrested?

[TommyGunn]

Why hasn't Ms. Luna been arrested?

For what?

Lying about where her much beloved innocent wittle kiddie was?   A lot of times DAs won't prosecute mothers because juries won't convict them.  If you go after motherhood you might take a swip at apple pie -- HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!

My first reaction when I read the original story was that they were probably getting back at "Whitey" to avenge Treyvon. I'm surprised it took other people so long to get there ...

Australian press manages to dig up all sorts of information on the three yutes and their recent activities from the father of a second, intended, victim.

As David Hardy notes, the US press, due to it being right there on the scene, has so far managed bupkis.  http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2013/08/insight_on_the.php

The more I read the more similarities I see with the ferals that used to get coverage in the British press until they became so common as to no longer be "news".

Possibly the only ray of sunshine in this is that one of the little scroats seems to be fascinated with posting on Facebook.

And for giggles (at least in my warped mind) there is this:

In the back left area of the court was Jones's parents and supporters, including his pregnant girlfriend.

The white folks sit in the back.  Does that indicate progress/success in race relations or something perhaps more evil?  I'm going to completely ignore the fact that the 17-year old white kid has a pregnant girlfriend, just on the off chance she is over the age of 14.  http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/08/sr/statelaws/summary.shtml

stay safe.

I just don't understand where Holder and Obama are on this?  Have they not heard the story yet?

Not that I want anything bad to happen to any one, and there is not much good that can come out of something like this, but do you think this will help Zimmerman?

[Levant]

vaskidmark, thanks for the links.  What an amazing difference in coverage between the Australian coverage and the US coverage.

I think this story is a sign of the times.  I think we will see more stories like this.

You won't hear anything about it from Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, either.

WRONG!


Jesse jackson tweeted that this sort of violence is "frowned upon"

Not even joking
