Have you heard anything lately?

Have you heard anything lately about James Edwards, Chancey Luna, and Michael Jones? Do you recognize those names? How about Trayvon Martin? Do you recognize that name?

Edwards, Luna, and Jones are the monsters who were bored and decided to kill somebody. They chose and shot down Chris Lane, a college student they didn't even know, in Duncan, Oklahoma.

Authorities say they don't have anything that would tie the killing to race despite these quotes:

"90 percent of white ppl are nasty. #HATETHEM." ~ James Edwards.

"I can't go to your church anymore because my god is black." ~ James Edwards

I haven't seen a thing in the paper about this case since August, but I guess it's just not nearly as clear-cut a case of racism as the Trayvon Martin case was. Trayvon Martin was wearing a hoodie and walking late at night in the rain through an apartment complex while Chris Lane was jogging down a public street in his girlfriend's neighborhood at midday. The three who killed Chris were bored and looking for someone to shoot while George Zimmerman had called police about Trayvon as part of his neighborhood watch duties. The three who killed Chris drove by in a vehicle, shot, and then fled, while George Zimmerman claims he was attacked by Trayvon and stayed to give a statement to the police. There hasn't been any evidence brought forth that indicates George Zimmerman is a racist. 

Yes, I can certainly see why the mainstream media would be so upset over Trayvon but not Chris.

After a fairly exhaustive internet search, I did find a news article from November 7 about charges against Jones being upgraded to first-degree murder. It seems authorities have discovered that he was involved in two other shooting just prior to Chris's murder. And from which media outlet did I glean this information? Well, it certainly wasn't a U.S. one -- it came from the Sydney [Australia] Morning Herald.
