"Mr Fischer said he was deeply angered by the latest tragedy and said turning our backs on America would help send a stern message about the need for tighter gun control." Um, yea cause the need for more ass-beatings and proper parenting wouldn't have helped. The gun simply went off on its own.
Well, keep in mind, that article was written in Australia. I wouldn't read too much into it. Its a serious international tragedy, and the outrage is understandable, especially in a country that's only recently (relatively) done away with guns.
Interesting that an Australian newspaper uses the EXACT liberal BS talking points that US liberals use when pushing gun control. speaking of Australia, this is discussed in Canada a lot, statistically, even though they took a lot of the guns away, surprisingly, i know, a shocker, the violent crime rate and gun murders have continued to go up! It just goes to show, where there is a will there is a way. If a criminal peddling in tens of thousands of dollars of illegal substance/items, spending 2, 3G's on a black market hand gun smuggled into the country is seen as cost of doing business....with such markup on guns, there will always be someone willing to provide the goods. They are trying to put limitations on human nature, good luck with that.
Well, again, they saw fit to institute gun control because they perceived guns to be the problem, so of course they're going to blame it on the lack of gun control, especially when its such a senseless and emotional crime. This probably isn't going to come out right, but I almost prefer that the boys stated they were trying to rob him or something, other than "we were bored and just had to kill somebody".
OK, .. for some odd reason when I heard this on the radio today, I thought they were WHITE...no shit...This was a real surprise to see this.
Correction - the au website updated the pictures - only 2 are black. Earlier photo of the last kid had him in a hat and with a bandanna over his face.
Where are the Photoshopped pictures of "little angels" ala Trayvon Martin? Too early? The story hasnt been sput yet huh?
I turned on the evening news yesterday wondering how they would shine a light on the stupid in this thread (never fails to happen). Sure enough, they show the three criminals and one of them looks awfully pale with blue eyes for a brother.
It's not new, people being bored and killing other people...it probably comes in third after: (1) deliberately wanting to kill and not being bored, and (2) general rage (road rage and 'roid rage are included).
I don't think any of the three look like the picture above. Even accounting for the fact that they're not necessarily in the same order. The one on the left in pic 2 "might" look a little like the one in the middle in pic 1, but the mouth and eyebrows look different to me. #2 and #3 in the second pic don't look like any of the above to me.
