This makes me absolutely sick. I am going to donate or find a way to help.

Note: Bob and Nancy were married for 65 years. Bob was also a WWII (101 Airbone, D-Day) vet who turned down a Purple Heart, but was awarded a Bronze Star. There are supposedly several suspects still at large.
On March 14th, police say Tyrone Woodfork broke into the home of Bob and Nancy Strait and attacked and robbed the elderly couple.
Bob, who is 90, suffered a broken jaw and broken ribs in the attack and was shot with a BB gun.
Tulsa police detective Vic Regalado says he is home, recovering.
His 85-year-old wife, Nancy, was sexually assaulted and battered to death, ending their 65-year marriage.
Woodfork was arrested after an alert citizen spotted the couple's stolen 2001 Plymouth Neon near 5700 East Easton Street on March 15th.
Investigators say they served warrants around Tulsa and found evidence linking Woodfork to the crimes.
Police say it's unclear whether Woodfork acted alone or had some help.
I'm going to send the video by the US Army Rangers to all of my friends

Seems to me that it's time for a little "Justice for Tyrone."
Not advocating anything illegal mind you, but why isn't Al Sharpton there insisting on various people swinging in the breeze, or Jesse Jackson, or any of the others?
Maybe because this doesn't fit the profile they use?

Of course, doesn't fit their profile, or agenda.

Why? Because in Al Sharpton isn't interested in justice. Simply speaking, Tyrone Woodfork is his constituency. Bob and Nancy Strait are not.

This is about the third time this story has surfaced in this forum and the maddening question still lingers, "Where is the Outrage?"
Why haven't the champions of racial temperance and equality come forward and demanded justice for the elderly and white Straits?

Because none of this.... This story or the Zimmerman story... is really about race. The media, Sharpton et.al, have created a racial story around Zimmerman and other similar tragic events where none existed and it's fed off the "we just want to blame someone" mentality of the folks they pander to.
Let's not sink to their level. We need to demand justice for the Strait's, not tit-for-tat. IMO, YMMV

I think you said what I said? In any event, a lecture from you on race relations and/or social conscience is neither warranted nor appreciated. YMMV,

I ran a search for the family name, "strait" and nothing came up, so I posted here.

The laws of a civilized society do not allow the proper dispensation of justice to the likes of this animal.

It's okay, this sort of travesty bears repeating.
