Police: Aussie Baseball Player Killed by 'Bored' Okla. Teens


What the f**k is wrong with people?

ABC News reports:
Prosecutors filed charges today against three Oklahoma teens accused of killing an Australian baseball player because they were "bored" and "wanted to see someone die."

Two teenagers, ages 15 and 16 years old, were charged with first-degree murder and were ordered to be held without bond.

A third suspect, age 17, was charged with use of a vehicle in the discharge of weapon and being an accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

The teens have not yet entered a plea, according to a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.

The suspects followed Lane, 22, as he jogged alongside a road in Duncan, Okla., Friday afternoon, shot him in the back and left him to die on the side of the road, Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford told ABCNews.com

"They were bored and just wanted to see somebody die," Ford said.

Lane, who is from Melbourne, Australia, majored in business and finance at East Central University in Ada, Okla., where he also played catcher on the school's baseball team.
Lane's father, Peter Lane, told media in Australia: "There's not gonna be any good to come out of this cause it was just so senseless."

This scares the hell out of me. A Clockwork Orange is here now and that makes me so sad. I look at these pictures and feel such an incredible loss. I just need to go sit outside under a tree and look at the moon.The dad's right, senseless.

Every time I see a gun in pop art, as in a movie poster, I think of the innocence soon to be drowned.
