Teen charged in ‘thrill kill’ of Australian college student in Oklahoma has racist tweets, report says

Quote:One of three teens charged in the 'thill kill' of an Australian college student in Oklahoma last week has previously posted racist tweets on his Twitter account, according to a report.

The Daily Caller reported that the tweets belonged to James Francis Edwards, 15. One tweet from his account reads, "90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM." Another post read, "Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court!:)"

The Daily Caller's report noted that 'woods' is used as a derogatory term for white people.

Edwards and friend Chancey Allen Luna, 16, were both charged with first-degree murder as adults Tuesday and are being held without bond in the town of Duncan, which is about 30 miles southwest of Oklahoma City.

Bond was set at $1 million for 17-year-old Michael Jones, who allegedly drove the vehicle carrying the other suspects. He was charged with the use of a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and accessory to murder after the fact. Jones is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court.

Jones named Luna as the gunman, police said.

Police Chief Dan Ford said the victim, Chris Lane, 22, appeared to have been chosen at random, saying in a variety of media interviews since Friday's killing that one suspect told officers that he and other boys were bored and that they followed Lane and killed him for "the fun of it."

Lane was on a baseball scholarship at East Central University in Ada, Okla., and was in Duncan, Okla., visiting his girlfriend when he was shot and killed. Some bystanders tried to perform CPR on Lane, but he was unconscious and stopped breathing before an ambulance arrived.

Lane's killing has attracted international attention about a month after George Zimmerman, a community watch organizer who fatally shot an unarmed black teen, was acquitted by a Florida jury in a racially charged case.

Rev. Jesse Jackson said in a tweet Wednesday that he was "praying for the family of Chris Lane. This senseless violence is frowned upon and the justice system must prevail."

Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys "thugs" in court, saying Luna was sitting in the rear seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat.

Edwards has had run-ins with the law previously and had been in court Friday, the day of the killing, to sign documents related to his juvenile probation.

Peter Lane, meanwhile, told Australian media there was no explanation for his son's death.

"It is heartless and to try to understand it is a short way to insanity," he said.

Dem raciest black ppl

Surely Obama will make an announcement about this crime since the guy killed was a foreigner to this country and was killed by 3 kids.

People have been saying for centuries that the world is changing for the worse. It's just changing.

In this case, it's definitely changing for the worse for Americans. Our day has come and gone, it'll soon be time to stick a fork in us. But at least it was fun while it lasted. It's changing for the better somewhere, but here ain't it.

Ugh, you give up too fast my friend.

Not giving up, still here fighting. It's just that inevitable is inevitable, and we are on the wrong track. I'll keep trying to turn it around, but if it gets to that point in my lifetime, I'm not going down with a sinking ship.

The Romans never knew their dynasty had already been doomed while they still were prosperous. We likely are in the same state of denial.

Hope and work for the best..but..prepare for the worst.

Excluding snowflake, the other 2 could've passed for him when he was younger, undoubtly he'll say something to mend relations with Australia. Undoubtly he'll make sure justice is served.

They are from Red State Oklahoma - home of the best culture in the world.

They are not from Red State Oklahoma...so you fail. It is funny how even the simple things elude you.

Stephens County, where the murder occurred, voted 76% for Romney

pretty damn red

Funny how stupid you look now to anyone with a brain.

Do you go out of your way to make damn sure you're wrong everytime you post? If not, you have the reading comprehension of a headlight.

I am generally correct, like I am here. The sooner you learn this, the quicker you can leave your ignorance behind!

Ok Betsy, Torch said they were NOT from red state Oklahoma. Your genius argument to counter what he said is that Oklahoma IS a red state, which is not what he was arguing. Like I said, your reading comprehension is about the level of a headlight. After further review, and the fact that you're still arguing about it, I've decided to reduce your level of comprehension to blinker fluid.

Don't hold your breath. He just about choked on the words about tortured Ambassador Stevens. And that was before an election. He will leave this to his state sponsored lapdog media crew.

How is Woods, a derogatory term. As in Tiger Woods? Or trees?

Peckerwood.. It's a term that's kinda like Redneck except people don't embrace it.

In Missouri they call white folks that lack sophistication "Hoosiers".
In Louisiana they call them "Coo-yons"
In Mississippi I call them my dad's side of the family

Interesting.

Oh well, I like peckerwood still... My grandpa used to call all us grand kids peckerheads and peckerwoods lol...

I've spent a little time in South Louisiana growing up. My dad and many family friends were oilfield hands, it was nothing for us to go to Fourchon, Venice, Morgan City, and Houma for days while a rig was in the shipyard. After college I worked for a company out of New Orleans doing dredging projects and we used a service out of Galiano for tugs. I lived in NOLA for a few months and in Venice a few months. So I've been ingrained with a tad bit of the culture. Still got some good friends down that way. The guy that taught me what little bit I know of Cajun French learned English when he was 10 years old.
