Where Are Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, And Obama On This?

A week ago, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a black kid named Tyrone Woodfork severely beat an elderly couple, a Mr. & Mrs. Strait, who had been married for 65 years. Tyrone RAPED Mrs. Strait, and she died of injuries received at his hands. Mr. Strait served in the 101st Airborne during WWII. NO national media carried the story. Tyrone was arrested yesterday.

I supposed that if Mr. Strait had shot Tyrone, 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 media.

Think about it. 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 flip. They're interested in their wonderful hero, Trayvon Martin.

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. She was also raped. Bob Strait is still recovering from multiple injuries and has been re-admitted to a hospital.

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.

"Where Are Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, And Obama On This?"

Your answer is right in front of you!

"...charged...with felony first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a firearm and first-degree burglary"

He wasn't let go just because the police figured he told a good story and he had a few cuts from a scuffle.

This kid needs to be shot.

The really sad thing is, the liberal's think this life is worth saving.
The other sad thing is, taxpayer's will have to support this deviant criminal in prison for 15 years before the state can execute him.
As soon as the trial is over, take him to the courthouse lawn and string him from the nearest tree for 24 hours.
Invite Al and Jesse to say a few last words.

Because he is in jail awaiting trial and Zimmerman is not. What is not obvious about that?

I'm wondering where the outrage is our own community. Why hasn't the mother of the child who recently shot and killed himself been charged along with the father?
This was a true tragedy.

And the evidence backed up that he committed a crime 2:29. The evidence plus witness statements applied to the law, showed no crime was committed by Zimmerman.
What is not obvious about that?

its sometimes a shame that white people are not as vocal about these kind of things as black people are. guess we are not as excitable as we should be sometimes, but it truly surprises me sometimes the animalistic excitability that black people have in circumstances like these, even though they dont know or chose to ignore the facts that have been released to the public.

The evidence and witness "statements" sure do back up Zimmerman.

Of course Zimmerman was the only "witness" so...

This guy you are talking about is in jail charged and will face the full brunt of the law.

It has nothing to do with us as citizens in America and everything to do with the up coming election. You see, Obama is now sliding a bit in the popularity vote as well as facing the charge of not being an American citizen. This Trayvon Martin case is what he and the liberals could grab the headlines with to take the heat off of his back. The media doesn't just generate a headline like this, someone is force feeding the Trayvon Martin case into the headlines on a repeated basis. It is a specific way to divide up our current population and as you can see it works. Ask yourself this, why is the Trayvon Martin case such a big deal? I understand that the man has not been charged but take a look at crime that goes unsloved on a daily basis. There are much worse happenings all over the world, including the United States where 6 ppl were murdered while attending their Christian University. Do not be fooled by the hype, it is exactly what the career politicians want. A chance for a grand stand that everyone is talking about, just like Obama had when he made the comment "If I had a son...."

And the Media admited to editing Zimmerman's 911 call that they aired on TV for the world to hear! What kind of one sided BS is that? Editing a 911 call is not bias?

3:17 pm,
Thank you.
This man committed a crime. He was quickly arrested, charged and placed in jail. The forementioned leaders of the people is unwarranted.
Now, lets speak on the mentality and hate mongering statements of the other anonymous said...

This situation is not a political issue. I would like to know really, what a moron look like? We all know that President Obama have two daughters and no son's. Finally, people period including black do not display animalistic excitability. This statement, "animalistic excitability" is extremely offensive.
Everyone in this country have their own prejudice opinions. And, there is nothing wrong with those opinions. However, some of us have learn to understand the meaning behind those opinions. Corrected our own behavior against such prejudice opinions. And, have acted in a way that show respect to others no matter what your nationality is. But, we have blatantly and downright hateful racial remarks that are being anonymous said... by some of the folks of this blog. These statements are racial. They are offensive. Some of you have this form of hatred inbred in your heart. There is a difference between prejudice and racism. Most of you are racist as the place of misery and wickedness. Believe what I tell you, there will be justice in the case of Trayvon Martin allege murder and for any child that is murder in this manner no matter what color their skin is. PEOPLE, will make sure of that. The very same way, slaves fought for their freedom. The very same way women fought for their equality rights. The very same way Blacks fought during the civil rights era, fought for the right to vote and inequalities witness even in today's society. The very same way gays fought for their human rights. Soon, RACSIM will placed in a coffin and buried six feet under so we can forget another shameful history of racist white america.

4:02, There were 6 witnesses. Zimmerman isn't a witness. He is the subject. When a subject's story matches up with 6 witnesses then common sense would dictate that the subject is being truthful.

Anonymous said...

Even IF Zimmerman did get arrested, the media has soiled the evidence by editing the 911 call, thus soiling getting a fair trial there in Florida and a bias jury. Case Closed!

Racism is a double edge sword, are you saying that there aren't blacks that hate whites? Who are you calling inbred? Are you sterotyping caucasian Americans? With an attitude like that, your adjustment awaits you!

White supremacy isn't your enemy, you are you own rascist enemy! Reap what you sow.

The reason you don't hear about stories like this is because the media isn't afraid of White people...They know they won't riot.

Go piss up a rope and face facts ,
racism is just getting started again , and I might add the whites are not responsible this time idiot.
Your BOY Al and Jessie are stimulating a revolution .

If you listen closely you can hear the Reverands Jackson and Sharpton and our illustrious President yawning. What this kid did happens so often we hardly notice. What a shame... Is there a death penalty conveyor belt in Oklahoma? If not there should be, for ALL RACES who commit crimes of this magnitude. Disturbing...

5:08, I do not believe racism exists as much as some would like us to believe.
I believe the type of profiling most people do is to stereotype.
I do not care what race a person is, but when I see the low slung pants and oversized tee shirts I tend to be suspious. Same goes for tattoos esp when I see one on someone's neck.
I think of these people, no matter black or white as thugs and people to be suspious of.

Those "witnesses" don't really back up anything which makes this case hard.

The stories they tell seem to point to an altercation between the two men and the me having a fight. Nothing tells us who started the fight (or who actually the stand your ground law appies in this situation).

One of the "witnesses" actually points to Zimmerman as being the aggressor with their testimony.

If there was a fight (which might seem to be the case) who started the fight? Did Martin attack Zimmerman for having the audacity to follow him and ask question?

Or did Zimmerman acoust the young man in his role of community watch commander only to find the young man was not going to tolerate an overly aggressive rent-a-noncop?

It is that gray area which needs to be explored.

@5:08
Can we say tribalistic exitability?

It is what it is.

In the Trayvon case we saw the leaders of the black community call for action with slogans like "no justice no peace" And "Escalate".
A mainstream media inciting the masses with, 4 year old pictures intentionally portraying the thug as a clean cut nice young man
Deliberate editing, now called an error to make Zimmerman sound like a racist, and using the most unflattering photo they could also misrepresents the truth.
If you believe otherwise, I'd say you've been hoodwinked by them.

I would never describe a person or persons of displaying "animalistic excitability".
There is racism in the black community. However, not at the magnitude being suggested above. You can say what you want about us, but we don't suggest anyone to shot another person nor sterotype whites as displaying "animalistic excitability" according an anonymous said... But, I definitely believe racist whites do use these terms. And, believe me that this generation is dying out quickly.

Adopted and raised by white people? You got to be.if you think blacks aren't racist your crazy.hate from slavery that your own people started by selling their own is still blamed on us.blacks to this day feel whites owe them.you know what I'm not going to type a list of thousands of reason blacks hate whites.I'm not going into this with you.I'm smarter than that.

Re: 3:17. I wasn't aware that the word "moron" was considered a racist term. I have actually used that word to describe other criminals, even white men! You need to be aware of your own prejudices and not ascribe the word, "racist", to anyone who thinks differently.

It's a fact that more black young men are killed by black young men than even close to the numbers of white men killing black men.

Sharpton and Jackson cannot profit monetarily and there is no political capital availible for our President when a crime like this occurs. I bet you won't see anyone wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the names of the Tulsa beating / murder victims on the back. Crimes like this happen all to often...

Let's talk about facts! Fact 1: there were 5 suspects that participated in the rape, murder, beating, and robbery of that innocent elderly couple and only one of them is in custody. Fact 2: George Zimmerman shot an unarmed man at close range in the chest so he is getting charged as deserved. Fact 3: president Obama is half white and half African but is called the first black president while George Zimmerman is 75% Hispanic and 25% white and is called by the black protesters a white Hispanic.
