The Thug Culture That Killed Chris Lane

christopher_lane_and_gfIn a testament to the depravity of thug culture, an Australian collegiate baseball player attending school in America was killed by three teenagers looking for fun, police reported. Christopher Lane, who was out for a jog in the town of Duncan, Oklahoma where his girlfriend and her family live, was targeted at random after he passed a home where the boys were staying. “They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: ‘There’s our target,’” said Police Chief Danny Ford. “The boy who has talked to us said, ‘We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.’”

James Edwards, 15, Chancey Luna, 16, and Michael Jones, 17, have all been charged as adults in Lane’s death. Edwards and Luna, both black Americans, have been charged with first degree murder, and will be tried as adults per Oklahoma law. Jones, who is white, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He will also be tried in adult court, but is still considered a youthful offender. If convicted, Edwards and Luna face life in prison without parole. Jones, who wept in court as he tried to talk about the crime before being cut off by the judge, faces anywhere from two years to life in prison. Edwards and Luna are being held without bond. Jones’s bond is set at $1 million.

Police noted that Lane was jogging through an affluent section of Duncan around 3 p.m. local time when a car carrying the three teenagers pulled up behind him. In court, prosecutor Jason Hicks alleged that Luna was in the back seat, Edwards was in the passenger seat and Jones was driving the vehicle. Luna allegedly shot Lane in the back with a .22 caliber revolver that has yet to be recovered. “We were bored,” Luna reportedly admitted to authorities.

Hicks, who called the boys “thugs,” noted that Edwards found the slaying amusing. “I believe this man is a threat to the community and should not be let out,” Hicks said during the bail hearing. “He thinks it’s all a joke.” Edwards, who has had earlier run-ins with the law, had also been in court on Friday, apparently after the crime had been committed, to sign papers related to his juvenile probation.

James Johnson, who called police to tell them the trio was hiding in the carpark of the Immanuel Baptist Church about 5pm on Friday, described them in all-too-familiar terms. He called them “troublemakers” and “bullies” with no parental supervision, and said that Edwards had threatened to kill his own son using Facebook. “They threatened to kill my son because they are in a gang, the Crips, and were trying to get my son in it and I wouldn’t let him do it.,” Johnson explained. “I told him he couldn’t run with those boys. He’s a little terrified.” Police Chief Ford believes that the teens’ wanted “to make a name for themselves” on the streets.

Indeed, a dark picture emerges as one peruses the social media sites teens like these invariably use to brag about themselves and their exploits. Before it was removed, Chauncy Luna’s Facebook page revealed he goes by the alias Baby Drake. It showed photos of him posing with friends, including Edwards, and flashing gang signs. Two pictures on James “Lilbuggy” Edwards’ Facebook page are also quite revealing. One shows a handgun, and several others show staggeringly large sums of cash. Both may be explained by another photo containing hashtags suggesting he was a member of the Crips. There is also a photo of him posing with a shotgun. “Bitch we up them poles,” Edwards says in the clip, “F— ‘em.” (A dismantled shotgun with the serial numbers ground off was found in the car, but it is not currently known if it is the same weapon).

Tweets on Edwards’ Twitter account suggest he is racist. On April 29, he tweeted “90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM.” On July 15, shortly after George Zimmerman was acquitted, Edwards tweeted “Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court!:) lol shit ima keep sleepin shit! #ayeeee.” “Woods” is a term used to denigrate white people. Yet Chief Ford, who has yet to see Edwards’ social media, told the Daily Caller a hate crime charge is not likely. “I’m not discounting the stuff that’s on there, but they do that for shock and effect,” he contended.

The real shock and effect evidenced by this case so far is the deafening silence of the racial grievance industry along with their media and celebrity enablers who apparently see no way to exploit this tragedy. Jesse Jackson is the lone exception, if one considers a single tweet much of an effort. “Praying for the family of Chris Lane,” Jackson said Wednesday on Twitter. “This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail.” Not a word, however from people like Al Sharpton, Attorney General Eric Holder, or President Obama, all of whom were willing to weigh in on the Trayvon Martin case on numerous occasions.

Former Congressman Allen West directly addressed the reticence of what he characterized as the “race industry crew.” On Twitter, he castigated Obama. “‘We were bored & decided to kill somebody.’ 3 black teens shoot white jogger.Who will POTUS identify w/this time?” West tweeted Tuesday afternoon. West’s Facebook posting was equally caustic. “[S]hall we hear anything from the race industry crew, Hollywood elites, or maybe Oprah Winfrey? The issue is not about proliferation of guns in America. This is about a failing black community and the fact that its young men are desensitized to violence because a gangsta culture promotes it,” West wrote.

The apologists for the status quo invariably point to America’s long and tattered track record of racism, going all the way back to the days of slavery, to explain the cultural dysfunction behind such heinous crimes. Yet as black conservatives such as Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams have pointed out on numerous occasions, black Americans were making steady progress in times that were far more racist (and poorer) than today. Yet today, in a time of vastly more racial equality and wealth redistribution, black men between the ages of 14 and 24 commit homicides at a rate 10 times that of young white and Hispanic males combined, according to a study by Northeastern University.

The key factors observers like Sowell and Williams frequently point to are the destruction of the nuclear family and the widespread glorification of social dysfunction. Though they affect all racial groups to varying degrees (after all, one conspirator in the Lane killing was white) no one can dispute their devastating effects on the black community. Rather than address this, many politicians, businessmen and entertainers hypocritically glamorize, enrich themselves and further their careers by promoting this culture of destruction. Thus, as Barack Obama wonders aloud how America “can bolster and reinforce our African-American boys,” he pals around with rapper Jay-Z, who has become a multi-millionaire rapping about guns, dope, misogyny and gratuitous violence. Amazon.com is selling a line of Trayvon Martin hoodies, while Ebony magazine has published several covers with celebrities dressed in the same thug-symbolizing attire. A director at the Smithsonian Institute expressed an interest in displaying Martin’s hoodie there, before the idea was ultimately rejected.

Yet when violence occurs, “civil rights” leaders like Jesse Jackson call it “senseless” and carefully avoid drawing attention to the real problem. The same goes for all the celebrities who have lined up to turn Trayvon Martin into a cause célèbre, but are currently nowhere to be found or heard on the Lane case. And despite wall-to-wall media coverage of this atrocity, principal deputy White House press secretary Josh Earnest professed ignorance about the case, before claiming he “wouldn’t want to get ahead of the legal process here.” When Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry noted President Obama was more than willing to get ahead of the legal process with regard to Trayvon Martin, Earnest offered up a generic response about the president’s “concerns” regarding the “impact of violence and whether there is more we can do to try to protect our children.”

We can’t protect our children from a thug culture when those who know better can’t be bothered to acknowledge its existence because it doesn’t accrue to their political advantage. And while the social dysfunction proliferates, blessed by the liberal and cultural elite, the racial divide widens. That is the real reason why the usual suspects have nothing to say about the killing of Christopher Lane. They know they, too, are part of the problem.

    I’ve always had a problem with “hate crime” legislation. Murder is murder. But since they exist, I have been waiting for a brave prosecutor to call the murder of a white person, straight person, or man a hate crime.

    It doesn’t happen. But it should. Otherwise stop calling it a “hate crime,” and call it a “racial/sexual” minority crime. Because that’s what these laws are. If someone is killed, it’s murder. Let’s make it simple. Murder is murder – life in prison (or death if that’s your thing). Doesn’t matter why. Murder is murder (or it’s not, such as self-defense). Even being “insane” is still murder. So they serve life in a prison-mental health ward instead. Still dies in prison (just like those who are given the death penalty – life should be life w/o parole).

    But if we are going to have “hate crimes,” then it doesn’t matter if it’s white on black, black on hispanic, men or women, women on men, straight on gay, or gay on straight. If someone commits a crime b/c of the other persons “status,” then it is a hate crime.

    Let’s hope a prosecutor and jury somewhere gets that – doesn’t matter who the criminal is, if he/she commits that crime on the basis of the law (hate crime), then he/she must be charged that way. Period.

    Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al are the ones promoting this culture. They are the biggest racists in the country. They are the ones promoting hate speech and hate crimes.

    The black leadership can’t solve the problem. In fact, they don’t even want to. They ARE the problem.

    Of course, the liberal media backs them 110%.

    When Fox News chief White House correspondent Ed Henry

    At Wednesday’s White House daily briefing, Fox News’ Ed Henry asked Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest about the case, and like his “opinion-side” colleagues at Fox and Friends, misidentified the suspects as “three African American young men,” when one of the suspects is, in fact, a 17 year-old white male.

    Henry should be embarrassed that he got the story wrong, but as head of
    the White House Correspondents’ Association, he knows that this was a
    bogus question to ask because all he was trying to do was throw fuel on a
    possibly very ugly fire.

    You folks have two problems.

    1 You need to find a way to ditch that white boy.He is a fly in the ointment on trying to make out there were 3 black teens or just two black teens and no one else.

    2 Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford said the attack was not racially motivated.

    “It was just three clowns who got together and decided to kill,” he said.

    All three including that WHITE BOY should get life without parole.

    • Barry McLawhorn

      Let’s see Obama is mixed race, but he is BLACK. On of the Thugs is mixed-race but he is WHITE.

      Nice how you black-biased race baiting hypocrites create your own reality.

      By this standard, Barack Obama is the 44th WHITE president, not the 1st Black president – either way he is a pathetic failure and should be impeached and executed for treason.

      The Hates Crimes Act should be repealed on the basis of racial bias.

      • Barry McLawhorn

        Digging a little deeper.

        Being a bigoted racist discriminating black is cool, approved, encouraged, and legal.

        Being a white who speaks out against discrimination, thuggery, and black violence is racist.

    Good article and spot-on. When any child does not have a loving mother and most importantly, a strong father, the child is going to have problems.

    How about the culture of black women too eager to have babies out of wedlock?

    • BigInMemphis

      The progressive agenda in America drives babies out of wedlock.

      • Barry McLawhorn

        No the progressive agenda PAYS single women to have multiple babies, by multiple fathers out of wedlock. In fact they get paid an additional bonus for each new male that they get knocked-up by because they get a bigger check for every first child by each “father” (or sperm donor).

        Don’t believe it? Check the welfare laws, I did.

  • MORTON

    I want very much to avoid making this a racial issue. Then, why should I sweat that? The only thing Obama has been a success at is dividing the nation. He has set many groups against other groups, setting race relations back incredibly. He came to the White House with an opportunity to unite our country and bring a spirit of optimism to everyone. If he had any skills or potential for doing that, he sure did not use them. His forte seems to be sticking his finger in the eye of real Americans.

If whites want to have safety for their families, be completely reticent of what color that teenager waking toward you is, particularly if he has a Jackson or Sharpton, or rapper or Jay-Z tee-shirt on. I’m tired of the murderousness of black youth being excused when it’s no more than white racism stoked by the worst pile of crap president America has ever known.

    Headline: The Thug Culture That Killed Chris Lane
    It should read : The Black Thug Culture That Killed Chris Lane. It is the SAME culture that made Trayvon Martin think he could get away with killing George Zimmerman and he would have had it not been for Zimmerman being armed. This epidemic if attacks and killings are not the result of a white thug culture and it is ABOUT TIME somebody said so.

  • grannycares

    When will the Obama Administration realize that there is a growing societal epidemic growing in the Country that is needlessly taking innocent lives, and WASTING thousands of others (especially, young Black males). Here are four examples:

    88 Year Old WWII Veteran Beaten to Death

    Before another lecture from Obama and Holder on “GUN CONTROL”, how about a lecture on EVIL? The 88 year old was BEATEN TO DEATH! More Obama phones are not the answer!

  • grannycares

    Certain that Eric Holder will pursue a federal investigation into recent senseless
    violence immediately, especially since one of the victims this week was a
    citizen of Australia, and that country is now calling for a boycott of the US.

    The other of course was an 88 year old WWII veteran beaten to death with a
    FLASHLIGHT, so there had to be a reason other than robbery.

    Also, know that President Obama will be making a speech in the Rose Garden during the Anniversary of Dr King’s ‘I Have A Dram Speech’, calling on the DOJ,
    NAACP, and Black leaders throughout America to take action to turn this
    cultural tide of violence, including:

    *Getting fathers back in homes

    *Stopping young teenage pregnancies

    *Keeping kids in school and reversing the high dropout rate from high school

    *Start a dialogue with entertainers, especially rappers, to cease the
    glorification of a ‘gangsta’ lifestyle, drugs, degrading women, and vile
    language

    *Provide tough love and discipline in the homes, and know what kids are doing
    (not easy)

    *REVERSE the dependency on government, and return to a work ethic based on self reliance

    *Start school systems in urban areas as Mayor Daley did in Chicago with many
    staff members having had extensive military experience (IT WORKED)

    *Reduce welfare payments for those parents who FAIL TO PARENT MAKE DELINQUENT PARENTS PAY FOR THE BEDLAM OF THEIR DELINQUENT KIDS!

    The problem can be fixed, but it will require a new direction without throwing more money at the problem, and more ‘ENABLING’ by Washington — specifically the CBC — in fact, the latter is PART OF THE PROBLEM!

    Tens of thousands of young minds and bodies (especially young Black males) are being WASTED EACH YEAR, and the numbers are increasing!

    Are Holder and President Obama satisfied to have these deaths on their hands?

    Bet President Obama’ s speech on this subject will be one of his best — DON’T YOU?

    America, it is time to stop making excuses for black on white crime. I will be the first to admit that black people were treated terribly, as little as a few decades ago. The problems that the “black community” has is self inflicted, period! I am white and I believe in fairness for all races. I believe conceal and carry is the answer. Shoot these son of a bitches dead! They are scum and do not deserve to live. Pat Buchanan is 100% right when he said: “white people are the only race that you can discriminate against legally.” It is time to fight back against these animals. BHO has worsened race relations in this country. BHO,Jessie,Al,Louis…..they all need to go! Oh yeah, Hollywood needs to go too! The solid black people in this country are not the problem. The “inner city,” droopy pants, hat on sideways crowd is the problem.

    • Bobbie

      I totally agree with you and I will also say that white people are probably going to be carrying concealed weapons more Because of what’s going on.

      The three were a black teen, a white teen, and a biracial teen. They shot Chris Lane then drove to the home of Chris Johnson, a black teen they’d threatened to kill. Johnson’s father called the police when he saw the armed teens waiting outside his house.

      If the participants races were reversed it would still be a black teen, a biracial teen, and a white teen deciding they wanted to kill a white person and a black person.

  • mirted

    A well written article. While Blacks slog in their miserable circumstances, expecting “government/whitey/others” to raise them up or worse, just give them something they think they are owed, other minorities are leaving Blacks in the dust. So long as “Black Leaders” (that includes you, Mr. President) either willingly ignore or can’t see the causal truth, the status quo for Black violence and its victims will remain.
    Of course, that’s fine by many “Black leaders”, because they get a lot of funding and 95% of Blacks who vote, vote for the same old, same old….Disgusting!
    My sympathy is for the victims and for the spirit of Dr. MLK, who must be turning over in his grave.

    • Kay

      Agreed! All these “black leaders” disgust me at time. When someone like Bill Cosby confronts blacks who continue to live in denial, he’s demonized, and ostricized by the black community. I guess I better prepare for the same thing b/c I think the same way and many won’t be able to handle the truth.

  • middleclasstaxpayer

    The fact that President Obama and Eric Holder haven’t called for an investigation into the violation of Chris Lane’s civil riots just proves how big of racist those 2 men are and that the national press isn’t demanding this type of an investigation just proves that they are all slim balls and in bed with President Obama and his administrations racism.

      You need to talk to the DA Jason Hicks says there is no evidence to support race was the primary motive in Christopher Lane’s murder.
