Meet Brenda Edwards, Mother of Accused ‘Bored’ Teen Killer James Edwards
PJ Media ^ | August 21, 2013 | Bryan Preston

Did “bored” teen James Edwards learn about crime from his mother? Edwards is the 15-year-old apparent gang member accused of shooting Australian baseball player Chris Lane in the back last Friday. He appeared in court Tuesday and reportedly made a mockery of the proceedings.

A search on Mugshots.com turns up one Brenda M. Edwards, 50, of Stephens County, Oklahoma. I called the Stephens County district attorney’s office today and confirmed that Brenda M. Edwards is James Edwards’ mother.

Edwards is currently incarcerated in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections . Her extensive rap sheet begins in 1994 with a conviction for larceny, and spans her son’s entire life. Click on the image to enlarge.

She has three known aliases. As things stand now, her relationship with Oklahoma’s criminal justice system won’t end for several decades. Her multiple convictions include distribution of cocaine. She was in court in Duncan, OK, as recently as May 2010, when she was found to have violated her parole by obtaining prescription drugs by fraud. Her probation was revoked.

If we’re going to blame a “culture” for James Edwards’ alleged part in Chris Lane’s murder, as some want to blame the so-called “gun culture,” shouldn’t the culture of recidivist criminality come under scrutiny?

Hate crime? Because if this assault and murder of a passing pedestrian in NOT a “hate crime”, then nothing qualifies for such a designation.

Genuine, visceral and unfocused display of loathing and odious contempt for the life of another. This kind of attitude is not a natural consequence of parenting skills applied judiciously and well, it is a cultured and inculcated indoctrination with malice aforethought.

Criminals breeding more criminals.

I just saw your thread, looks like he found another mother in the gang, just as bad or worse than this one.

You’re right...It’s pathetic that predators this age are roaming the streets.

Stephens County Sheriff's Office

From left, James Francis Edwards, 15, Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and Michael Dewayne Jones, 17. Edwards and Luna were charged Tuesday with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a college baseball player out for a jog in Oklahoma. Jones was charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact and with firing a weapon.

I blame blacks, and gangs, and hip-hop, and rap, and leftists who won’t face the truth about black on white violence. I blame a spineless, leftist media that creates false issues like gun violence to avoid naming the source of violence. Every time the media ignores black racism, or finds ways to cover it up, they help cause more black violence.
