Welcome to America, don't jog down the wrong street. (Same thing could be said for many places on earth though.)

"corkie" is that some kind of racist term in Oz?
But he sure doesn't look white. Maybe lighter than the others, but not white.

"corkie' is simply the Australian habit of making all words shorter. You don't have to be too brittle about it mate

'white' technically is a racist term.
ok, let me rephrase. He looks most likely of European ancestry, rather than the other two, who appear most likely of African ancestry.
The last guy, in that photo, looks as 'white' as anyone I know. Nowhere in any of the news articles has there been any inference that it was a racially motivated attack.

Was on the road today and caught brief reports on CNN radio and CNN TV.
No mention of the shooters race or pics, even hours after they were apprehended.
My first thought was that the shooters must be black and the victim white, because if the other way, it would have been harped upon ad naseum.
Very sad day for the young man murdered and for the journalistic integrity of CNN.

This story has converted me. I now support the death penalty.

String 'em up. We can all "have fun" watching them die. I hope they burn in hell.

The white one (yes, he is white) is the only one who showed remorse, broke into tears, and cooperated with the cops. He also is the only one who was allowed bond ($1M). He was driving the car.

I think Bobby Bowden said it best. Towards the end of his career as a head coach a reporter asked him how the boys had changed over the years. He replied that the boys were the same now as they have always been but the parents have changed considerably.

As far as the death penalty, I think the criminal should die the same way as the victim(s), otherwise the island and pigs idea is a good one. Zoo animals need fed too don't they? OK, that wouldn't work as it would give the zoo animals the wrong idea that we were all edible.
