Chris laneYou might remember the murder of Australian college baseball player and exchange student Chris Lane last year in Oklahoma.
A normally quiet weekend in the small southwestern Oklahoma town of Duncan was horribly interrupted last year, when a car carrying three teenagers pulled up behind a lone white male jogger.  The teens in the car fired on the jogger, Chris Lane, with a .22 caliber revolver, striking him in the back.  As horrified witnesses looked on, the jogger staggered and dropped to his knees as the car sped away.  He was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities.
James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, and Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were charged with murder in the first degree.  The oldest member of the group, 17 year old Michael Jones, believed to be the driver of the vehicle, gave Duncan police a mind-boggling explanation for the crime: “We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.

Yesterday a fourth suspect was arrested.

BACKSTORY REMINDER – The Daily Caller wrote about it last year.
Immediately following the arrests, details emerged that pointed to a motivation behind the killing.  Unsurprisingly, it is “gangsta” culture.  Photos of the two teens charged with murder tell a story of young boys obsessed with guns, gang signs, and wads of cash.  On April 29, The Daily Caller reports that James Brown tweeted, “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.”

Chancey Luna, the alleged trigger man, is mixed race.  His mother is white.  Michael Jones’ and James Edwards are black.  Given James Edwards’ infatuation with street gangs and gangsta rappers, it is very likely that this killing was to establish “street cred” with gang leaders.
The evidence that Brown harbored prejudice against whites is undeniable.

So we have an incident where, to paraphrase Rep. Frederica Wilson’s breathless rant after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a white man was literally racially profiled, hunted down like a rabid dog and shot in the street, by three black assailants.
Needless to say, this horrific crime does nothing to advance the Black Grievance Industry  agenda, so the usual race agitators stayed far away from the cameras.
Several days after the shooting, Rev. Jesse Jackson finally got around to Tweeting,:

“Praying for the family of Chris Lane. This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail.”


“Frowned upon” ?
Really?
It wasn’t Selma, Alabama all over again?  It wasn’t the Emmett Till killing all over again?
I wonder why not…..

…..Then again, “leaders” have avoided discussing black on black, black on white, and gang-related violence.   They prefer instead to lecture white people about how racist they are.
