A 22 y/o Australian living in the US on a baseball scholarship was shot dead by three teenagers while he was out jogging. The teens have stated 'they just felt like shooting someone'. Yes I'm aware there is plenty of crime and gun crime in the world every day but is something such as this, an unprovoked attack so common these days? It's been all over the news here in Australia, has it received much, if any, media attention over there? Condolences to him and his family.

IYeah I saw that. I had to re-read it a couple of times, because it seems like a bunch of words from different stories just mashed into one.

Re: Australian baseballer shot dead in OKC.
I wish the baseball player was armed. Criminals will get their hands on guns no matter what. These teenagers, whom are not old enough to buy a gun, got a hold of a gun.
It really pisses me off. These stupid senseless crimes.Last edited by 9erempiree; 08-19-2013 at 07:08 AM.

Bored teenagers with bad parents. Nothing more to say really.
Duncan, OK is just a small country town with peaceful people.

You're such a dick. Someone died. It's not funny. You want to troll about guns, so you use someone ****ing dying to post your stupid shit. This isn't Lebron vs. Kobe. Originally Posted by 9erempiree

What the **** is wrong with you to be such a disgusting person? Even worse, you crafted a disgusting persona on the web. It's not even real, you just want people to look at you. Strangers.
You're really a dick.

There's just too many people in this world for stuff like this not to happen.
****ing guy had his whole life ahead of him and it is abruptly cut short for no reason other than these primal animals urge to kill a random guy. RIP and my condolences to the family

Re: Australian baseballer shot dead in OKC.
Which is why I asked the question, is this more common than maybe I fathom? But maybe it's a good thing that these kids aren't getting a name for themselves in the public eye, it might have been what they were after? Originally Posted by NoGunzJustSkillz

Re: Australian baseballer shot dead in OKC.
The victim was white so this is considered far, far, FAR less important to the american left than if the victim were, say, black and the shooters were white.
When an an innocent white guy is murdered for no other reason than the "enjoyment" of despicable, worthless social feces... Well thats just business as usual. Nothin to see here folks, no cause for alarm. Lets all just try to be tolerant and not judge these shooters.
****ing christ this gets my blood boiling. And two of these kids were frequent, known delinquents. They should have never been around this long to begin with, thy should have been sent to an island to ****ing rot and die.
Sorry. I lost my tolerance for a second. I temporarily forgot it was a white guy senselessly murdered and I started to get angered. Give me a minute to regather my tolerance and remember this is acceptable because of, umm.. tolerance.
