Slain baseballer:

You have to ask WHY..

Why would 3 teens just want to go out and kill people as these 3 did? 

It makes no sense

It comes after a 16-year-old boy confessed to pulling the trigger and killing Lane, according to police chief Danny Ford.

Chief Ford said the 16-year-old was with two other teens aged 15 and 17 when they killed Lane during a random drive-by shooting in the town of Duncan.

He said the three teenagers had no motive other than to make a name for themselves.

All three are facing the charge of first-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of the death penalty.

Chief Ford told 3AW this morning one of the accused has confessed to pulling the trigger, saying he just wanted to kill someone.

"Lately there has been some pretty weak motives, but I don’t know that I’ve had one that they told us they were just going to kill somebody," he said.

He said the three teens were on a "killing spree" after , leaving a chilling message on Facebook.

Watching violent movies, tv shows, playing war games on the computer are all contributing factors. Drugs, alcohol, ennui. The ease of acquiring guns. Unemployment.

They get bored and want to see what it's like to act out their fantasies.

They may not understand the reality of their actions.

They don't understand that if they kill someone they will go to jail for the rest of their life or end up on death row?

A senseless death, so sad for his girlfriend, his family and friends.

 They are 15, 16 and 17, old enough to know the consequences don't you think?  Very tragic for the young bloke and his family.

3 teens get bored and can just grab some guns and go shoot someone.

And yet there are still morons in America that dont want gun control
