of 16 April 2011.The pair, who met at Sheffield University, were killed after
drunkenly wandering into the Newtown area in the early hours of 16 April
2011.
The court heard Shawn Tyson, 17, had killed them after trying to rob them.
It also emerged that hours before the murders, Tyson had been released after his arrest following a shooting on 7 April.
Tyson, who was tried as an adult at Sarasota County Court
despite having been 16 at the time of the murders, was given two life
sentences without the eligibility of parole.

@hawker14mf Exactly...Blacks can murder Whites and the Whites just sit back and say nothing. Where is the outrage from the White Race?

@hawker14mf Jesus, man. How much outrage do you need to be satisfied? This kid is gonna rot in prison for the rest of his life. In my opinion that's worst than the death sentence. What more do you want?

was a sarcastic comment. turn the table around and there would be a bigger shitstorm than this Trayvon Martin fiasco. only the blacks can go crazy, if/when whites do it, its a racist gathering .... whitey just has to take it...one of these years all hell will break loose...

One day out of prison and he robs and murders two innocent people due to their skin color.
Not a tear was shed or a word given by Al Sharpton.

an utter embarrassment to himself, and the land he lives in. Fucking ingrate.......think anagram.
Not only that, now he gets to eat sleep and live being fully provided for. There are people on te streets of this country that have comitted no crime, and thy can't have that kind of security blanket. I say, new law; "take a life maliciously, pay with yours within 10 days of conviction."

@janeartr think about this rationally...no more overcrowding, jail could become a safe haven for the homeless..... keep the guards, and run it the same way, exept people can come and go. Freedom inside their own unmotivated prison.. an incentive to get out. it's fucking perfect.

What a shame that two Brits come here to find their unexpected end by the actions of a piece of human trash.
Any apologies from Sharpton here? Hello?

@Salt agreed....he is going to have one Hell of a fucked up mind when he hits his 40's and realises what he's missed/will miss. I'd much rather see that then him snuffed out (and in a more humane way) than the victims

What's the point, two humans killed but one gets life in prison, which means he can still breath, sleep, eat, feel, and touch things I think he doesn't deserve.

Well, if the victims were black and the perp white, then this story would have more cow bell. Sad but true. Not trying to make light of any crime, just speaking the truth.
