We call them kids for a reason. When do you have an adult male, at 28 years and nine months. These may be killer kids, but they are still kids, obviously.If anyone does, they deserve to be tried as adults.

DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) — With the simplest of motives — breaking up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer — three teenagers followed an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him with a shot to the back for “the fun of it,” prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the teens with murder.
As the boys appeared in an Oklahoma courtroom, a 17-year-old blurted out, “I pulled the trigger,” then wept after a judge told him that Tuesday’s hearing wasn’t the time or place to sort out the facts of the case.
Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” as he told Stephens County Judge Jerry Herberger how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, died on a city street.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan were charged with first-degree murder and, under Oklahoma law, will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan was accused of using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court. 3 Teens Charged After Australian Player Slain « CBS Houston

Tell me, does this this crime make sense to you? Of course it doesn't, you're an adult. It's not about wrong or right, it's about having a brain mature enough to hear that clearly though all the other noise in your head. Teens know what is right most of the time, they just aren't any good at doing it. For that you need maturity, which they lack and therefore we call them teens or kids.Sorry, no way. 15-16yo know murder is wrong. This wasn't in the heat of anger, or sort-kinda-by-accident, or negligence, or even in response to some insult or offense.... this was entirely malum-in-se with no mitigating circumstances. There are some things for which "they're just kids" is no longer an excuse for people past puberty. This was one.
I say put them in with the general prison population where they can be passed around for a pack of smokes for the next 60 years of their lives.
The shooter was probably the most immature of the three.I can't imagine a scenario where the actual shooter doesn't deserve to be tried as an adult and put away for a very very very long time. I will withhold my judgment on what the other two should be charged with/as for a short while longer, simply because I haven't read a whole lot about the case.
Delightful. Your sense of Justice is noted.

Vengeance is mine sayth the Lord.If it was my brother they killed I'd want breaking on the wheel or anal impalement on a stake. no horror is too disgusting for the asshole who shot that guy.

A total write-off eh? How very Christian of you.a turd like that cannot be salvaged. best to make a horrible example out of him-maybe the next asswipe that wants to kill someone for amusement might think twice

My Lord? On permanent vacation it seems.Well I am an agnostic. Where was your lord when those turds were planning on murdering an innocent man
Do unto others before others can do unto you
And Yeah though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall fear no evil because I am the baddest MF in the valley
there's religion for you dude
I don't now. I was rolling a dice with 5 +'s and a -. That's America for you.why do you labor under the delusion I am Christian?

We aren't known for rioting. We are better at getting our way just by being white.yeah, I guess he is. I suggest you listen to some Ian Anderson for guidance on the subject
now those mopes need killing. pure and simple-that or being prison bitches for the rest of their lives
funny how we don't see white folk rioting after this-a black on white killing that is one hundred times worse than the one that seemed to cause so many riots and hysterical handwringing
It is always immature to take the life of another person. I consider myself to be on the more lenient side when it comes to youthful offenders, but youth is not an excuse for murdering someone in cold blood. This kid is just as much a danger to the community as any adult, and any teen who takes another's life for no other reason than to watch them die is far beyond the point of rehabilitation through the juvenile delinquency process. He needs to be put away.The shooter was probably the most immature of the three.

Racism in America is a sad thing. Normal but sad.that's a pretty sad answer. maybe some would say racist. but half of its true.
