THE teenagers accused of murdering Melbourne baseball player Chris Lane were dobbed in by a local who claims his son was the trio's next target.
Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15 have been charged with first-degree murder over the fatal shooting in Duncan, Oklahoma. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact.

F&F headline said the athlete was “killed by 3 African-American teens.”
[Yesterday the print and broadcast were apparently jumping all around the racial make up of the 3 perps. Some had 1 white, some 2 white, some all 3 white. Some had 1 black, some had 2 black, few had all 3 black. Reportedly, the 17 year old (driver) is mixed race — white mother, black father. Of course, more accurate details are like to emerge as the journos get off their butts, get away from the news wires and actually do some foot work and interview people.]
They are charged as adults.
Their wanting to be badasses will take on a whole new meaning where they are headed.
You’re makin’ it up as you go along!
"seeking whom he may devour"
Ever heard of “happy snaps?” From “down under” ... Photos!
It is good to be back online to just be able to post.
America doesn't have any journalists: it has collaborators.
The British and Aussie press had a picture of two very black teenagers and one slightly lighter skinned black teenager, but in the US press, I have seen pictures of two black teenagers and one white teenager (who doesn’t look at all black). I don’t know if the Australian press had simply mixed up some photographs or if it was for some reason intentional in order to make them all look black; or if they are indeed all black and the US press was the one that had gotten mixed up.
Very confusing. It’s not that important in the long run, I suppose; an innocent man is dead regardless of the color of his killer. But it is a little confusing.
Looks like they will end up here:

Not a very nice place, I’ve driven by there many times.
Wouldn't surprise me if the liberal media photoshopped the skin tone of the mixed race kid to make him look whiter. If Obama is black, the mixed race kid is black.
Med too.. I was gobsmacked..
Big Mac has a long history.
At least one has a white mother, per the the article which shows her crying.
Actually, they will probably be heroes in prison, if anything.
I knew the Atlantic ocean was good for something.
Up early Skyping parents. G’Day .... Ta
Doubt it, they are underaged. They will get a govt. provided lawyer and be back out in a few years. Vigilantism is needed to fix the justice system.
I’m a native Bostonian and I remember “ta” from my childhood ... thanx for the memory.
Mainly Aussie and NZ :)
It’s a full scale model sir!
Oklahoma passed a law where feral yutes can be tried as adults. They may not get the needle, but you can bet they will never leave Mcalester State Prison.
