I won't hold my breath.

My deepest condolences to the family of Lane.

Australian politicians will no doubt politicize this sad story to spread anti-American sentiment.

The three murderers are in jail, awaiting trial. What more can Jessie, et al. do?

lol at comparing Australian gun laws to American ones.

Australia is an island, it's much easier to keep things in/out. Unless you can convince every country in both North and South America to enact the same type of gun laws, then it's not going to do anything to have them in just one specific location (like the United States), because people are just going to go and get them from other places where they are legal, like Mexico or Nicaragua, etc.

I mean, just look at inside THIS country itself. You have places like Chicago with the same kind of laws as Australia, but guess what? Wisconsin and Indiana don't have those same laws, so people just go there to get guns, and then they go to Chicago and commit crimes. In fact, Chicago has one of the highest gun violence rates in the entire country despite being one of the ONLY "gun free" zones.

Not living on an island, how does it work?

It's all rubbish and any claim the MSM ever makes has been rubbish for the foreseeable past.

And yes other news stories have commenters saying that one of the killers in this case is WHITE. NOT mixed.
He IS mixed. And the point I previously made is the clear double standard when it is black-on-white, versus white-on-black in MAKING IT RACIAL. It's ALWAYS a racial issue when it is a (RARE) white perp and black victim, but NEVER racial when the roles are reversed.

That's what pisses most people off.

How do you quantify lives saved by gun laws? You can't...

It's a logical fallacy.
How handy.

Guess we shouldn't have murder laws at all, since you can't quantify lives saved by those, either.

Uh, yes, he is. He has a black poppa and a white momma. And his middle name is Dewayne. Just because he is very light skinned doesn't mean he doesn't identify with his blackness far more, just like Dear Leader.

I agree.

I bet these "kids" called themselves gangstas, n-i-g-g-a-s, and played a whole lot of Grand Theft Auto.
It's what they see on the screen that has them desensitized to acts of random violence.
The games themselves have no other purpose but to be gratuitous violence.

No one can tell me that the impressionable do not imitate art (if one can even call ^^^ it that).

With many parents simply not saying no to this trash, I'm surprised stories like this are not
more prevalent.

Wait when did they update pictures of the perps? I thought all 3 of them were black? Well the first set of pics showed them as that.
