Australian exchange student gunned down

I hope this gets national attention.

I'm seeing a lot about it this morning; it's global news.

One of the suspects' moms told police the boys were in a wanna-be gang.

The 15 and 16 year old suspects were charged as adults, so looks like they'll be living the dream when they get convicted and find themselves subject to adult prison gangs. Don't think that's gonna be very appealing to the little murderers.

Random, senseless and very sad killing.


RIP Chris Lane

It's being reported that some in Australia are calling for a boycott on tourism in America; big story that's generating a lot of anger there.

"It is another example of murder mayhem on Main Street," former Australian deputy Prime Minister Tim Fischer told CNN's Piers Morgan.

"People thinking of going to the USA for business or tourists trips should think carefully about it given the statistical fact you are 15 times more likely to be shot dead in the USA than in Australia per capita per million people."
