Who is Chris Lane? Educate me.

[Rochard]

Oh, he was the aussie that was killed. When it popped up in the news I was out of town and wasn't paying too much attention.

This is a horrible crime, but there doesn't seem to be any debate over it - it's a murder, straight and simple. It's interesting (and horrible) because they it was a random murder only because they were bored, but there is no debate over it, no discussion about guilt or innocence.

Still horrible.

ANYTHING can be given a spin, if it will create controversy that can sell. Mainstream media has proven this time after time.

You could for example start by saying Lane was targeted because Lane was white, that boredom had nothing to do with it but that it was a racially-driven murder. That this might be true or not is irrelevant.

But as was stated previously, the people who make money by exploiting controversy aren't interested because it doesn't fit their revenue model.

Fox & Friends, Daily Caller Falsely Report ?3 Black Teens? Arrested in Chris Lane Murder

The senseless, infuriating murder of Australian Chris Lane has drawn comparisons, by some media outlets, to the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Fox and Friends and The Daily Caller, for example, have each posited the Lane killing as illustrating some sort of ?double standard? by black leaders like Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and President Barack Obama, but in the process, each of them falsely reported that Lane was shot by ?three black teens,? when one of the suspects is clearly a white male. A Duncan, Oklahoma police source confirms, to Mediaite, that 17 year-old suspect Michael Jones is, indeed, a white male.

The three teens allegedly shot and killed Chris Lane ?for the fun of it,? as infuriating a motive as there is, but so far, there is no indication that race played a role in the selection of the victim, and unlike the Trayvon Martin killing, the alleged perpetrators in this crime were almost immediately arrested and charged. Like other crimes that have been posited as ?double standards,? there is no factual basis for comparison, and no one has explained what, exactly, they would expect Rev. Al to say.

To be clear, their premise would be equally false if all three suspects were black, but the fact that they?ve chosen to ignore Michael Jones? race indicates a commitment to that premise no matter what the facts say.

The oldest of the three suspects, who declared in open court that he ?pulled the trigger,? is a white male, so perhaps these conservative outlets ought to be praising Al Sharpton for not coming out and saying that the lesson here is for black kids not to hang around with white kids.

If he did, he would be rightly condemned, but such a declaration would be no more absurd than the idea that he should weigh in on a tragedy that, thus far, appears to be taking as just a course as is possible. There?s definitely something wrong with the people who killed Chris Lane, but it?s not the color of their skin

I thought they killed someone, the police investigated and then arrested them?

now it makes sense

[Walrus]

I doubt Australia will succeed in boycotting visiting the USA over this. That's about what it would take to change our gun laws here. If people started boycotting our country and we started losing money I think our lawmakers would finally make some decisions. Right now they simply don't care. These black teenagers actually stole the weapon of choice. So in this case banning the assault weapons would've have helped. However, why are teens getting ahold of these guns everywhere? What is happening now that is different than 10 years ago where more and more teens get their hands on handguns?

[Just Alex]

They waz good kidz and didn't mean it. Just hanged with wrong white peoples.

How come our brassmonkey isn't reporting on this one?

Seeing some updates about the comment "I pulled the trigger", attributed to Michael Jones (the white kid) - it now appears that he said, "I didn't pull the trigger":

A fairly important detail in the story of murdered Australian baseball player Chris Lane appears to have been grossly misreported by several major media outlets. The Associated Press, CBS News, and The UK Daily Mail, among others, reported that 17 year-old suspect Michael Jones blurted out ?I pulled the trigger? at his bail hearing on Tuesday. However, Mike Smith from The Duncanville Banner quoted Jones as saying ?I didn?t pull the trigger.?

That?s a pretty significant discrepancy. After reporting on the disputed quote Wednesday, I contacted several of the reporters who quoted Jones as saying ?I pulled the trigger,? in order to see if they could confirm which was correct. The Daily Mail?s Rachel Quigley replied that ?I took that quote off this AP version, which came out immediately after the boys appeared in court on Tuesday,? and linked to a CBS News/AP story by Iris Carreras.

I had also emailed Carreras to ask which quote was correct, and she responded ?The right quote is ?I pulled the trigger.??

The Duncanville Banner was closed last night, but I got in touch with reporter Mike Smith this morning, and he said that the correct quote was ?I did not pull the trigger,? at which point the judge stopped him. ?I was standing right there,? Smith said, ?and District Attorney Hicks was even closer.?

Stephens County District Attorney Jason Hicks confirms Smith?s account. Michael Jones has been charged as an accessory in the murder of Chris Lane, and was the last of the three suspects to speak at Tuesday?s hearing. Hicks says that Jones blurted out ?I did not pull the trigger,? before Judge Jerry Herberger stopped him. ?I was standing right next to him, Mike Smith was standing right next to him, a whole bunch of deputies heard him,? DA Hicks says.

?The judge stopped him and told him ?You?re here to set a bond, and that?s it.?? Hicks continues.

He explained that, just prior to Jones? appearance, a relative of 15 year-old suspect James Edwards Edwards ?was out in the hall screaming ?I?m gonna kill all of you mother-so-and-sos,? so we had to put her in jail, and emotions were running high, so it was about keeping control of the courtroom.?

Hicks also said he was baffled by the reporting on erroneous quote. ?If he?d have said ?I pulled the trigger,? I would have immediately stopped the proceeding, headed down the hall, and filed a murder one charge.?

I also asked District Attorney Hicks about reports on the suspects? Twitter activity, and whether he thought they indicated a motive in the killing.

He explained that he didn?t want the prosecution to be sidetracked by the issue. ?All the stuff coming out in social media, I don?t see anything there,? Hicks said, ?and we don?t want to distract from a murder case.

Our evidence doesn?t indicate that Chris Lane was shot because he was white.?

He said that if other evidence emerged, that might change, but concluded, ?Our focus is on making sure that we get justice for Christopher Lane.?

Sounds like the DA is on top of it regardless of how the press spins it.

The brain trust at Fox and Friends falsely reported that three black teens were arrested in the deadly shooting. But contrary to what West and Fox and Friends said, not all of the teens who allegedly killed Lane are black. The suspect and alleged driver Michael Jones is white, but The Daily Caller originally displayed the wrong photo for Jones, that of a black teen.



However, the reality does not fit into the Tea Party-birther narrative of black criminality against white victims, and by extension, a black president?not to mention a Kenyan citizen? who hates white people and means them harm.

But wait, there?s more. White House correspondent Ed Henry of Fox News pressed Josh Earnest, Obama?s deputy press secretary, about the Lane shooting death.

?Why hasn?t [the president] spoken out about this? In this case, you said there was a judicial proceeding. There was one in the Trayvon Martin case. He spoke out extensively on that one,? Henry said.

Rush Limbaugh said the shooting of Chris Lane is ?Trayvon Martin in reverse, but worse.?

Meanwhile, commentators at Breitbart.com have accused African-American ?race-baiters,? even Trayvon Martin?s mother Sybrina Fulton?yes, they went there?of staying silent on the Lane case.

?Don?t bother calling on Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Joe Madison, Marc Morial, Ben Jealous, Roslyn Brock, et al. as they can?t raise money or personal profile for power on this tragedy,? wrote one rightwing blogger. ?Where is Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon Martin?s mom? Does she not feel for another grieving mother of a son who was hunted down and killed like a dog??

The right has made the Chris Lane murder their cause célèbre, their meme, their Trayvon Martin, and they believe this is the president?s gotcha moment. And they should be outraged, just as we all should. We all should mourn the loss of Christopher Lane, Trayvon Martin, the children who were killed in Sandy Hook and Columbine, and those who are killed each day in cities like Chicago, Oakland, New Orleans, Philly and Detroit. The president has spoken out against gun violence, but what were his detractors doing, condemning the bloodshed or calling for more guns? And can?t we all claim the victims of gun violence, regardless of race?

Certainly the Aussies are outraged, but for a different reason. They want to boycott this nation for its culture of violence, just as some Americans want to boycott Florida over the George Zimmerman verdict and ?stand your ground? laws, or punish North Carolina for its retro Jim Crow-style voter suppression.

?Tourists thinking of going to the USA should think twice,? said former Australian deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer. ?I am deeply angry about this because of the callous attitude of the three teenagers [but] it?s a sign of the proliferation of guns on the ground in the USA,? he said of the ?murder mayhem on Main Street.?

Fischer told CNN?s Piers Morgan that given you are 15 times more likely to be shot to death in America than in Australia, you?d better give that business or tourist trip to the states some careful thought.

Racial combatants and rhetorical flame-throwers on the right disagree, of course.

?Does President Obama have another imaginary son who maybe would look like Christopher Lane?? asked conservative radio host Dana Loesch in a tweet. ?Guns aren?t the problem in #BoredTeens. The problem is parents who utterly failed to teach their children respect for life.?

Fox psychiatrist Keith Ablow blamed it all on late-term abortions and Facebook. And in a piece on Inforwars.com, Anthony Gucciardi wrote that the killing ?has nothing to do with gun culture and everything to do with gangster culture and potential racial motivations against a random white kid.?

Until these detractors want to have an honest discussion about the scourge of firearms in America, we cannot take them seriously.

For the moment, perhaps forever, they are clouded by their hatred of black people, their fear of African-American teens like Trayvon Martin??gangstas? and ?thugs?as they call them?and their disrespect for black U.S. presidents, civil rights leaders, murder victims and their families. It is shameful, yet completely predictable.

At least he frowns upon random murder of a white guy by black kids who were just bored. Good to know his position on that.

Too bad twitter doesn't have emoticons.. he could have posted a little frowny face for added emphasis.

ALL people have the constitutional right to vote, but what is being done in many states is designed to deny areas that tend to vote Democrat their vote. And THAT is unconstitutional.

That was my only point. It was a bullshit remark that was based on a premise that's 100% false and reminiscent of the civil rights movement, not rooted in the reality of today.

What exactly makes me racist?

Pointing out a statement on Jacksons facebook/twitter pages that implies something is true which is 100% not true makes me racist?
Does saying "black families have a 75% out of wedlock birth rate" make me racist?
Does saying "95 of all black people murdered are killed by other blacks" make me racist?
Does saying "Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have zero intention of actually addressing, much less solving the difficult issues that face the black community in the year 2013" make me racist?

Does asking the question "why is the death of a black guy somehow more tragic that the death of a white guy who was murdered because the murderers were "bored"' make me racist?
