Two Suspects Arrested in Oklahoma Shootings
TULSA, Oklahoma (AP) — Police backed by a helicopter arrested two white men early Sunday and said they would face murder charges in the recent shootings that terrorized Tulsa’s black community and left three people dead and two others critically wounded.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham said the two men were arrested at a home just north of Tulsa about 2 a.m. Sunday and were expected to be charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill in the spate of shootings early Friday. He said police made the arrests after receiving an anonymous tip.
While police identified the men as white and all the victims are black, authorities have not described the shootings as racially motivated and declined to discuss that issue Sunday.
Community leaders, however, expressed concern about the motivation for the shootings on Tulsa’s predominantly black north side, as well as the possibility that they would provoke a vigilante response. The Rev. Warren Blakney Sr., president of the Tulsa chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a civil rights organization, said Sunday that word of the arrests had provided a great sense of relief.

Two Suspects Arrested in Oklahoma Shootings
Community leaders expressed concern about the motivation for the shootings on Tulsa’s predominantly black north side?
Motivation? Well, I have to offer this as a possible MOTIVATION:
Man charged with murder in deadly home invasion
A man accused of assaulting an elderly couple this month was formally charged Monday.
Tyrone Woodfork, 20, was charged in Tulsa County District Court with felony first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a firearm and first-degree burglary.
Bob and Nancy Strait were assaulted March 14 in their home in the 3300 block of East Virgin Street. Nancy Strait died March 15 from injuries related to the assault. Bob Strait is still recovering from multiple injuries.
Woodfork was arrested March 15 after witnesses reported seeing the couple’s stolen 2001 Dodge Neon in the 3500 block of East Fourth Street. He remains in the Tulsa Jail without bond. SOURCE
Tyrone Woodfork allegedly RAPED Nancy Strait, and she died of injuries received at his hands. Mr. Strait served in the 101st Airborne during WWII.
NO national media outlets carried the story.
I supposed that if Mr. Strait had shot Tyrone Woodfork, the whole country would know about the story. As it is, only Mrs. Strait died, so it’s not of interest to Brian Williams and the rest of the main stream media.
Think about this; after 65 years of marriage, after serving our country, after 90 years of life, Mr. Strait has lost his wife to a rapist/murderer. NO ONE in the national media gives a damn. They’re interested in their wonderful hero, poor little Trayvon Martin.
I’m not saying that this was the specific motivation for the recent shootings in Tulsa, and the killing of innocent people that weren’t involved is wrong, but motivations, in the minds of individuals that aren’t wrapped too tight to begin with, are hard to understand.
Tulsa likes to hide a very dark side of their history, but it appears that at least some still remember the Tulsa race riot, and it might be a refresher that a lot of folks need to see.
I’ve heard this story. But only because I looked for it. It wasn’t an easy find. I think I did it during the last “racial” outrage. This entire “Race” war is media led. We need to really think about that. The media picks and chooses as to which public opinion needs swaying. Our media has become Government. It has not only taken the “information” road for the politicians, it’s become manufacturers of public opinion…Making news when it doesn’t fit their narrative..
IF it’s a race war, let it happen. It will be fun to watch.
You ever see The Untouchables?? Kevin Costner and Sean Connery?
My favorite quote: They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.
The Old Testament said it better: Deuteronomy 19:21 — And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Motivation? Yeah, maybe…
Remember the rest of the quote? “It’s the Chicago way.” What we are seeing in this election cycle is “the Chicago way.”
Keep your powder dry (now more than ever)
The Chicago way… Indeed…
Tyrone, Travon, will join the ever growing list of young black notorious criminals alive and dead.
For whatever reasons, reprisals or pay “tribute” is what the blacks always want.
They don’t seem to care or understand who starts it, the blacks always want someone to give them something of value to stop their actions,,,or else!
Always the “or else”.
I am tired of reading and hearing the race pimps, you know who, amplifying the payment or else!!
This upcoming presidential election becomes more important every time another headline like this appears.
Time for a change, don’t you think?
Still a case of revenge?
Tulsa police say revenge one motive in shootings
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Police say a shooting spree that spread fear in Tulsa’s black community and left three people dead may have been partly motivated by an Oklahoma man’s desire to avenge his father’s shooting by a black man.
Police spokesman Jason Willingham told The Associated Press on Sunday that investigators are still considering many possible motives, but based on messages posted in social media, revenge appeared to be a factor.
All five victims of the Friday shootings were black. Police have described the two suspects as white.
In a Thursday Facebook update, one suspect, 19-year-old Jake England, expressed anger over his father being shot and killed by a black man two years earlier. The Facebook page had been taken down by Sunday afternoon.
Tulsa police say revenge one motive in shootings
The 2 white men arrested for these killings will “spill the beans”.
I expect they will tell the homicide detectives exactly what they did.
Your above blog “links” to the old Tulsa Race riot.
I heard about it when I was growing up.
Tulsa natives who do not like blacks, keep it a normal topic for discussion.
This coming Summer, here in Texas, will be affected, if these so-called OWS protests are actually held.
Maybe it is too late now, but the ignorance, slovenliness, etc., of the black race has GOT to improve immediately, or all bets are off.

The media is determined to get a race war started, and they shall continue until the election is over. Should Obama lose, we will be in for one long civil war IMO.

A clear call for black-on-white violence has gone out now.
