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.

Dobbed?

British for “drop a dime,” snitch.

Unbelievable, I have never heard that before today.

Dobbed.

It’s a bad idea to pay off a cop with counterfeit money.

Two countries separated by a common language.

Baseball caps. The white hoodie.

Me neither. Was that the basis for the Dobbie character in Harry Potter?

[JudyinCanada]

I’ve never heard that word before. Good “dobbing”. Glad these sub-humans are behind bars.

I don’t believe these are the same guys that were in an earlier post..???

[Mr. K]

Good that we have to read AUSTRALIAN newspaper to leanr about this

[BilLies]

Thanks. Thought the article was too well written and displayed to be written by an American journalist.

Seems like three Yutes and a bullet in the back of a White persons head is “The In Thing To Do” in some communities. Up here in Albany New York the Yutes ride bikes to get to their killing place. Incidentally, they claimed the shooting was accidental during the commission of a robbery gone bad...funny how that happens./s
Can hardly wait for “The Ophal” to weigh in on this one.
