A new dialogue on race? Aussie baseball player allegedly murdered by "bored" black teens in Oklahoma

Australian baseball star Christopher Lane was jogging in a small town in Oklahoma three days ago. He was shot to death--allegedly by three "bored" black teens.

Sarah Harper [Lane's American girlfriend], 23, also told the Herald Sun that she didn't know what punishment would be appropriate of the three teenagers, aged 15, 16 and 17 years, accused of Lane's murder.

It comes as Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said he had secured the confession of the 17-year-old who summoned investigators to his jail cell and claimed he and the younger boys were bored "so they decided to kill somebody".

"He said he was the driver of the car," Chief Ford said.

"They saw Christopher jog by the house they were at, they chose him to be the target, they got in the car, drove up behind him and shot him in the back.
Will liberal gadflies Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson--not to mention the mainstream American media--call for a new dialogue on race as they did in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case?

  1. I'm sure that your question about the race industry being outraged over this shooting is rhetorical, and that says it all. I was heartsick when I saw this story because it reminded me of the stories in Colin Flaherty's book, White Girl Bleed a Lot.

    It will be interesting to see whether this story gets any coverage in the LSM, and if it does whether they tell the real story; that this racially motivated.
