A random act of violence has left a promising 22-year-old college baseball player dead, a family devastated and two countries half a world apart rattled.
Christopher Lane, who's from Australia, was gunned down in Duncan, Oklahoma, while he was out jogging last week. The motive, police say? Three teens who had nothing better to do.
"They witnessed a young man run by on the street. Chose him as the target," Police Chief Danny Ford told CNN affiliate KSWO.
When police eventually arrested the three teens -- ages 15, 16 and 17 -- one of them offered up a motive that made clear that Lane, who attended East Central University on a baseball scholarship, was chosen at random.
"He said the motive was, 'We were going to kill somebody,'" Ford told Australian radio station 3AW.

This is the story in the mainstream media.
Picture of the victim. No picture of the accused.
Wanna bet that the accused are black?
The killers just "randomly chose somebody to kill".
Wanna bet that the killers chose the victim because he was white?
I wont hold my breathe waiting for all those who still to this day go on and on and on and on about Trayvon Martin, and are silent and will be silent about the day to day tragedy of white victims who are chosen for attack solely due to their race.
