So horrible.

I made the mistake of reading the comments.

[orangeblossom]

That is awful.

What is wrong with people? Who wakes up and says "I want to kill somebody today".

Bored? No. when you're bored you play video games or watch tv. You don't shoot folks for no goddamned reason.

I saw this on ESPN. Horrifying on so many levels.

And like velar, made the mistake of reading the comments. It turned into a race thing instantly. Which made me even more depressed for humanity.

OMG. That's horrifying.

W.T.F.

I am sorry they can't get the death penalty, because this planet would be much better off if sociopaths like this just got two to the head and that was the end of the story.

“They saw him go by and they said, 'that's our target' and they followed him and they shot him, that's what he told me,” Chief Ford told Fairfax Media of the conversation police had with the oldest suspect, a 17-year-old boy.

“They saw him go by and they said, 'that's our target'"

They allegedly shot Lane, Ford said, because they wanted to see someone die.

The 17-year-old was unemotional when he told the story of what had reportedly happened. "The other two were, well I don't want to use their language but they were basically 'up yours', they wanted an attorney.

Why can't they get the Death Penalty? They are being charged as adults right?

Doesn't matter. As per SCOTUS no one under 18 can get the DP.

If they were bored hanging out at their house, they're going to have a great time in a 6'x8' cement cell for the rest of their lives. Good job boys, I'm glad they thought of the possible consequences to their actions.
