IT'S NOT A THRILL KILL, IT'S MURDER

I never liked the term "thrill kill." I don't care that it's catchy.  There's nothing catchy about this story.  Call it what it is... murder.

I just wanted to offer a news story on this because the story about Christopher Lane, an Australian and a college baseball player out of Oklahoma that was killed because teenagers were "bored" really disturbs me.  Christopher Lane could be your kid. He could be your friend's kid.  Hell, he could be you... a kid with alot of hopes and dreams, a family, a life and alot of goals.  He was murdered and I can't wrap my head around it.

What happened to this poor man and his family is horrifying and I pray for his family and the community of Oklahoma, as well as Australia right now.

Here's the story from CBS (full report HERE)... Christopher, may you rest in peace.

" An Australian baseball player out for a jog in an Oklahoma neighborhood was shot and killed last week by three "bored" teenagers who decided to kill someone for fun, police said.  Christopher Lane, who was visiting the town of Duncan where his girlfriend and her family live, had passed a home where the boys were staying and that apparently led to him being gunned down at random, Police Chief Danny Ford said Monday.  

A 17-year-old in the group has given a detailed confession to police, but investigators haven't found the weapon used in last week's shooting, Ford said.

That teen and the others - ages 15 and 16 - remain in custody, and Ford said the district attorney is expected to file first-degree murder charges Tuesday. It wasn't known if the three will be charged as adults or juveniles. They are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.

"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target,'" Ford said. "The boy who has talked to us said, 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.'"
