Justice for Chris Lane...

[Creepn]

I didn't read any of the posts in this thread because I don't want to lower my IQ, but the three boys are not all black. One is clearly white and one looks mixed race, so you fail in attempting to make this a black on white race war. Good day.

There's a white guy in the mix? Could've sworn it's all about 2 black guys killing that baseball player.

"Authorities say one of the boys said they targeted Lane, who is white, because they were bored and had nothing to do.

Edwards and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, who is also black, were charged with first-degree murder. At the police station, Edwards danced while they were booking him, said Duncan Police Chief Daniel P. Ford. "He thought it was cool," Ford said.

Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, who is white, was charged with lesser counts — accessory to the murder and use of a vehicle in discharge of weapon. According to court do ents, Jones was the driver and told police he knew who shot Lane but was worried he'd "get killed" if he snitched.

The three alleged assailants came from what is known as the gritty part of town; a prosecutor called them "thugs." Lane had been visiting his girlfriend's family in Duncan's north end, a prim neighborhood with brick homes and big yards.

the shooter was black.

It sounds like the Australian was not "running away", he was just jogging and was shot in back without warning, "That's Entertainment!".

why aren't they all charged with 1st degree murder?

Here's what I heard from the MS and Liberal Media about the Trayvon case:

1. Blacks are regularly the victims of racist attacks
2. The "System" doesn't protect blacks


I think what the conservative media is trying to say is the following:

1. Black on white violence is more prevalent than white on black. (I haven't verified this to be true)
2. Why isn't this horrific racial attack getting the same national attention from the MSM or the President?

Damn good question.

Probably because the cracker rolled on the brothas and cut a deal.

I guess if you ignore hundreds of years of history involving racially motivated crimes and racial history of this country then you might have a hard time understanding why communities may perceive different levels of racial injustice directed toward different racial groups.

Wow they let the white guy have a lower charge and people are complaining about racism? LOL

Seems like the shooter is the primary guilty one, while the others, who may not have agreed with or might have been surprised by the shooting, are accessories.

You People who watch crime shows should know all about the pre-occupation with identifying the shooter.

Accessory to murder is no chump charge.

a lot of the crime shows i watch give all suspects the same charge. only one person pulled the trigger so why did 2 people get charged with murder? it makes a little more sense to give all the demons a murder charge and let them rot in prison.

[MannyIsGod]

Sure as not first degree murder either.

[AntiChrist]

Sure as not first degree murder either.

If one of the black guys was driving, do you think he would be charged with first degree murder?

[boutons_deux]

"only one person pulled the trigger so why did 2 people get charged with murder?"

prosecutorial discretion in Oklahoma?

when do we evolve and face reality instead of justifying perception?

I could be wrong, but it sounds to me like you "hear" what the MS and Liberal Media are saying based on what the Conservative Media tells you they're saying. I can only assume this because people who seem to favor conservative media seem to keep missing the fact that the Zimmerman controversy was primarily about a Florida Law that said it was okay for him to kill Trayvon Martin.

Good luck with that. The stand your ground law allowed for zimmerman to get away with murder..

He didn't use stand your ground, nice try though.

he didn't have to.

The judge's instructions to the jury were totally different compared to what they would have been before FL passed the kill-the- s SYG law. see here and Get Smart:

he didn't have to.

No . I just said that. Apparently George missed that part during the 100s of hours of coverage.

sounds like you've brainwashed yourself into believing that amamie story. If calling me a right winger confirms that for you, sobeit.

[Th'Pusher]

Explain this pusher.

What GGA is saying is that regardless of whether SYG was used as a defense, the existance of the law allowed Zimmerman to get away with murder.
