all murderers should be punished no matter what color they are .l wish people are always honest about their arguments

or how old they are.
Medusa they honestly just don't get it and probably never will.
Three teenagers were charged Tuesday in the killing of a white college student in Duncan, Oklahoma, and part of the story is what didn't happen. There was no saturation cable TV coverage, no press conference featuring Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, and no statement from the Oval Office. The death of Christopher Lane, while as troubling as that of Trayvon Martin, will not become a national touchstone of racial and cultural debate or reflection.
But maybe it should. A 22-year-old Australian from Melbourne, Lane was attending East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, to pursue his dream of playing that American pastime, baseball. He was visiting the parents of his girlfriend in Duncan after the two had recently returned from visiting Australia. Lane was jogging down a street on Friday evening when, according to prosecutors, he was shot in the back.
Police chief Dan Ford said that 17-year-old Michael Dewayne Jones, who drove the car and was charged with accessory to murder after the fact, told police that the three boys were bored and had killed Lane for "the fun of it." Prosecutor Jason Hicks said 16-year-old Chancey Allen Luna was sitting in the rear of the car when he fired a .22 caliber revolver and killed Lane.

Review & Outlook: For 'the Fun of It' - WSJ.com
I'm absolutely shocked that MSNBC doesn't have 24/7 coverage of this, and where are Obama and Sharpton in all of this?? To them, it must be a travesty that two African American men may face JAIL TIME because an Australian dared to jog down a street on Friday evening. The teenagers had a grand time Tweeting about how evil and bad white people were too, so I don't get this "no racial motivation part."
Now imagine if the races were reversed...
How big would this case be?

yes zimmerman was an adult but found not quilty
How kind of you to bring back memories of that South Park episode that concluded with white people "just don't get it".
As a minority without a PC shield, I am wondering why this dreadful crime isn't getting more coverage, whereas a non-criminal (albeit tragic) self defense case flooded my front page for months.
You were (almost) doing fine until that last sentence. Care to supply the link for that bold assertion?

what the **** does Zimmerman have to do with this? is the zimmerman case going to be brought up every ****ing time there is a murder from now until the end of time?
The OP claim is a bit of an overstatement (or understatement) since the murder was the number one headline all yesterday. I just searched Australian murder and here is page one of ten.
You know, there are so many true things to be upset about with the creepy way our country is run, I don't get the value in making stuff up. "How big would this case be?" Pretty big considering it's one murder in a country where we have hundreds of murders every day.

oscar ,:lol:
is it me who related it to this case by starting this thread ?
Ok fair point. This is the first I'm reading of it though, so my view is kind of skewed.
yes zimmerman was an adult but found not quilty
His was self defence. Keep that in mind.
If you follow someone, not illegal, and they turn and attack you. Its self defence. As noted by the jury.l dont follow anyone to defend myself
Apparently the life of a white Australian is held pretty cheap. Not much concern being voiced out there, not much coverage.
But then all those young black men being killed in Chicago, Baltimore, DC, etc., are held even cheaper still. We're lucky to even hear a body count, or any mention at all, on the news where they are concerned. Everyone turned out to protest for Trayvon, but nobody protests for them.
l dont follow anyone to defend myself
