I don't think senseless violence is exclusive to America and it's certainly not
something the majority Americans believe in.

I'm just trying to get a rise but not from you regulars. I'm OK with your gun
lust.

You swiiiine! Stirrin the pot just to smell it, eh? Kinda thought your heading
was a bit outta character.
Back on point however, this murder has enraged many citizens over the
senselessness/callousness of the crime in its totality coupled with the ire from
those of us who have grown uber tired of the racist double standard in criminal
reporting.
Anytime there's a black victim and a white perpetrator, it's front page news in
the papers and the lead in story on Tv/internet news for days, if not weeks, and
the race hustlers are quick to jump on the band wagon, labeling it evidence of
discrimination, if not an outright hate crime.
Yet even when it's a heinous black on white crime (which statistically has been
on a steep incline in recent years), it seldom even gets a mention, and
typically neither the race of the perpetrator(s) nor the victim(s) are even
mentioned at all in the reporting as these details don't serve the agendized
reporting standards so prevalent today

Blacks aren't capable of racism. (sarcasm font)

I attended the D-Backs v Dodgers opening round game here in Australia earlier
this year.
Both teams showed a fitting tribute to Chris. It was quite moving and much
appreciated.

Mr Lane, from Melbourne, had a baseball sports scholarship with Oklahoma’s
East Central University and was visiting his girlfriend, Sarah Harper, in Duncan
when he was randomly selected and shot.
Edwards, who pleased guilty to being an accessory to murder, was sentenced to 25
years in prison, but ten years of that was suspended.
Edwards became the star prosecution witness against his friends, Chancey Luna,
who was 16 when he shot Lane, and Michael Jones, then 17, who drove the Ford
Focus used in the murder.
Jones entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life,
but could be eligible for release after 38 years.
Oddesse Barnes, who was not in the car but helped hide the gun, will be eligible
for release in 12 years for an accessory conviction.
