I certainly hope the person is found before the body count increase. Last thing we need is another Nut job with a gun riding around looking for victims to use as target practice.
Given that it happened in north Tulsa, I'd bet good money it was drug related instead of a racially motivated killing.

Good point and I've noticed most of us no matter how we feel have gotten a lot more defensive and offensive about the issues at hand in the last month. The media, Rev AL, Jesse, Fox, etc is doing a good job in creating Chaos.

If only .005 of this country is crazy, that's all it takes to stir up trouble and make the headlines. After all it only took 1 man to assassinate JFK and change the world.

When something similar to this occured in the town i grew up, it makes me question this. Why can't we just ship these deviance over to Afgahanstan and Iraq and bring the true heros back home. Hell, if they like to gun people down so much, they could do it over there.

Ok, here's my opinion on Big Perm and Messy Jesse. I don't like them, can't stand them and cringe every and anytime someone sticks a mic in their face or mention them on C-D as phantom leaders. I don't personally know the 45 milliion of Blacks in the U.S, but of those I do know, they feel the same as I do.

Because most of these type of people are actually cowards and would not last a week in a place like Afgahanstan. They are only tough when they can kill innocent or unarmed people.

Agreed. But would you feel a bit remorseful if they didn't?

Does your hometown have no drugs, no drug deals? If so, it's an unusual place. In fact, it would be quite rare.

In any case, north Tulsa is just north Tulsa. I've spent a lot of time there and have literally driven around drug deals going on right in the middle of the street and, just like everywhere else, the sellers are predominantly black and the customers white.

Why do they immediately jump to "hate crime" before they even know the whole story ?
Is this fueling the fire ?

All this because we want equal rights. All this because we produced a black President. I hope this savage animal is killed soon.
