Chris Lane Shooting: 'Bored' Teens Who Killed Australian Student Tweeted 'Time To Start Taken Lifes' Before Murder

Only hours after the death of Australian baseball player Christopher Lane, one of the three teens responsible for his death took to Twitter and boasted about "hating white people" and his recent physical altercations with unidentified persons. Lane was randomly targeted by the three teens because they were apparently "bored" during the Oklahoma summer, and decided that killing the 22-year-old would be "fun."

Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys "thugs" as he described how Lane, originally from Melbourne, was shot once in the back and died along a tree-lined road. He added that Lane was chosen completely at random, and that one of the boys "thinks it's all a joke." Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards Jr., 15, are charged with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. In addition, Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, is charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender, but will be tried in adult court.

The atrocious crime has shocked the community, but the actions of the three suspects has been even more appalling following their arrest. The youngest of the three suspects, James Edwards, reportedly "danced and laughed" while being held in county jail. Additionally, Michael Jones, admitted his involvement in the vicious murder out right. "In his words it was no big deal," Police Chief, Danny Ford said of Edwards.

Now new evidence regarding the background of the teens has come to light. Their multiple social media profiles show the teens handling guns, and large sums of money. They also use the social media sites to boast about attacking people, taking lives, and their hatred of the Caucasian race.

Edwards, the youngest of the group is described by his father James Edwards Sr. as a young boy who was "training to be an Olympic wrestler." However, he didn't seem aware of the 15-year-old's frequent online postings of guns, money and physical altercations. The social media profiles of the three suspects paint a different story compared to how their shocked parents described the teens. Edwards unfortunately, did not seem to be training for the Olympics, instead the 15-year-old seemed to be most interesting in becoming a killer.

Edwards' Twitter and Vine account are the most violent, only three days before the teen is accused of murdering Lane he tweeted, "With my n****s when it's time to start taken life's," a line from the Chief Keef rap song, "I Don't Like."

Another tweet from April reads, "90% of white ppl (people) are nasty. #HATE THEM." Edwards obvious distaste towards white people continues when on July 15, he tweeted "Ayeee I knocced out 5 woods since Zimmerman court!:) lol sh*t ima keep sleepin sh*t! #ayeeee" Following the controversial Zimmerman verdict, Edwards telling his 835 followers that he has physically assaulted 5 "woods," which is a derogatory term for Caucasian. But the violent Internet behavior and vocalization of alleged crimes doesn't stop there. On another social media site, Vine, Edwards records fellow suspect Luna as he imitates "Maleek" beating an unknown victim. Luna seems to imitating another friend hold down and bets someone head while he states, "this is between me and him." The two teens then laugh and smile at the imitation while Edwards turns the camera back around on himself and states again, "this is between me and him." The most shocking online discovery, was another Vine video posted by Edwards of himself holding a rifle. He poses with the huge rifle before stating "B***h, we up dem [them] poles, f**k with me, why don't you?" He then moves the gun into one and proceeds to make what appears to be a gang sign or symbol with his hands.

And while the police have not yet confirmed the three teens intent for murdering Lane, one theory reported is that the seemingly random killing was an effort to attract gang members. Oklahoma native, James Johnson was the man who spotted the three teens after the murder and proceeded to call 911. However, he claims that his son is an acquaintance of the suspects and believed that they were in fact coming to kill which led to the police tip-off. "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. These kids can be good kids -- they are good kids -- they just don't have any male figures in their lives," Johnson told The Sydney Morning Herald. "I don't think it was for fun. I don't think it was random. I think it was initiation."
