What's wrong with those youths... 'We were bored' so we killed him.

**belva** · 08-21-2013, 02:24 PM

BBC News - Three teens charged in Australian Christopher Lane's death

Now should we speak about reabilitaion???...well, as I see it if an orange is rotten to the core you can't make an orange juice. You just have to throw it away.

**austinite** · 08-21-2013, 02:26 PM

Wow. We execute idiots like that in Texas.

**Lunk1** · 08-21-2013, 02:27 PM

I have read this story over and over. All I can say is, thank god it was bored black kids shooting a whit man or it would have been racially motivated!

**belva** · 08-21-2013, 02:29 PM

This really makes me think where the new generations are heading...

Pretty sure there's a white kid in there.

**belva** · 08-21-2013, 02:43 PM

One looks white to me.

The driver MAY be white. My statement stands. Had it been a black college student shot by a white teenager...c'mon!

**austinite** · 08-21-2013, 02:50 PM

yeah, my statement stands, too.

I have to agree. Color should be irrelevant but all too often it becomes a hot topic.

**Fcastle357** · 08-21-2013, 03:00 PM

The reason they killed him was because they were bored and it would be fun. How do you rehabilitate that. They need to be punished to full extent of law.

Or beyond

**Flagg** · 08-21-2013, 03:16 PM

For once can we not talk about who was white or black and maybe have a discussion on why meaningless shit like this happens.

Whose fault is it? Society? Parents? Government??

Is this the world any of us want to live in. Where the importance of life is lost on the youth of today.

This was apathy at it's purest and that's the greatest evil of all.

I wish.... never gonna happen so long as you have people bitching on both sides.

Never going to happen as long as equality isn't equal.

And thats why bipartisan politics suck, rather than the two sides actually work on a solution to anything, they think its better to slander the other side and say "it's their fault".

I sometimes think we are losing our values somewhat as a so called civilised society. Politicians dont give a fvck about stuff like this, cause it doesn't happen outside their homes.

Agree. And justifying with "Well, they do it...", is just completely asinine, uneducated and further contributing.

This is human nature or at the very least the society we live in. NO one cares about anything or anyone but themselves. Nobody steps up unless the issue directly effects them. How many consistently bitch about politics and govt. yet have never run for any political office themselves.

**austinite** · 08-21-2013, 03:41 PM

Some do. Some stand above the crowd/sheep.

Of course SOME/few do. Everyone wants change yet very few are willing to lead the way.

**austinite** · 08-21-2013, 03:48 PM

^ Agree. I prefer the few over the rest.

It always becomes a hot topic, another excuse from the government to distract the general public.

It's not quite that simple.

Being filthy rich and a major donator of funds is a good way of getting into the MAIN two party system. And having a Law Degree.

For everyone else, there are fringe parties, and while most of these have great intentions, they usually can only focus on one issue at hand, while others are borderline radical.

When Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stop showing up to white on black crimes throwing gas it might be possibly.

When do politicians care about anyone but themselves?

I think you are from UK. While I was away I read about those two girls who had acid thrown on them in Tunisa. They were teaching kids and while walking home they had acid thrown on them by two muslims. One of the girls is no longer reconginizable.

You are never teaching extremist to not hate other religions. You are not going to teach kids from the ghetto to act like normal members of society. Both are vicious cycles that few can break.....Its never going to change

**Black** · 08-21-2013, 10:26 PM

Two black and one mixed. The mixed is similar to a Blake Griffin.

**Gaspari1255** · 08-21-2013, 10:38 PM

Each parent in the video states that "their child did not pull the trigger and they're worried about the future of their kids" or some bullshit like that....What about the future of the dead baseball player who was killed randomly? SHITTY parents like that are why things like this happen. Fathers need to start intimidating/hitting their children like they did years ago. Fear will make a kid act appropriately and steer him clear of trouble. Instead the parents are finding any excuse to defend their kids actions....

**SlinKing** · 08-21-2013, 10:44 PM

Urban life/technology/too much free time.

when I was a kid (way too young to be saying this). Every kid where I was from went to school then worked on the farm/ranch until dark. Friday nights you drank a bunch of whiskey. If you had some spare time sunday, you went skiing, rode motorcycles, went camping, tubing, or fishing.

^^^
make a kid grow up like this and guaranteed he won't get into trouble

This story makes me sick, just a disgrace.

**thegodfather** · 08-22-2013, 06:14 AM

Every generation believes that the subsequent generation is lazier, less moral, more decadent, etc, etc. This is the narrative throughout history, I'm sure that those living during the time of the Renaissance thought the world was going to hell in a hand basket, but I think that the explanation is much simpler. Senseless killings like this have happened throughout history, but it just so happens that there are now 6.5 Billion people inhabiting the Earth, so the probability and number of psychologically sickened individuals has grown in number. While tragic and sad, events like this are still in the minority when we consider how many people on the Earth go about their daily lives without deciding to randomly gun down a stranger. So while events like this are sensationalized by the media (and rightly so), we need to put them into perspective when compared with the world around us. People like this in society are why we have prisons and life without the possibility of parole.

With regard to why people commit such acts, my first thought is that it almost always comes down to bad parenting and a poor environment, and then in a smaller number of cases, sociopathic personality disorders. But in almost all cases, sociopaths are triggered by a poor environment. I agree that there is no rehabilitation for these types of heinous crimes.

There will always be shitty people, they aren't representative of an entire generation.

Can you imagine your child being killed than finding out the reason he/she was killed was just for fun. No other reason. Not money not hate not race or religion just for fun. I don't care if these people could be rehabilitated. They don't deserve a second chane.
