    Surprised that such a big news story did not make The Al Sharpton show tonight:

    Saw this last night, and thought the details were just chilling. That could have been anybody.

    Since trolling a story is fun...

    I guess the NRA will not comment either.

    NRA bemoans the fact that the moving target ( NRA Does not believe in victims, just targets) was not armed

    Andrew Bogut will wear an East Central University hat in a silent protest.

    All joking aside, this story really bugs me. And nobody is really talking about it all that much. I know random killings happen everyday, but man, I can't image a friend, or my wife, or a co-worker, going out for a jog, and being shot to death because some poor excuse for humans decide they're bored.

    The worst part is, even in Oklahoma, they're not eligible for the death penalty.

    The Supreme Court said nobody under 18. As bad as this is, I agree.

    Maybe if Lang was carrying a pack of Skittles with him this would have been bigger news.

    Those kids worked just as hard as George Zimmerman. They deserve more coverage.
