Hate Crime

Yesterday, Police arrested two men for driving around Tulsa and randomly shooting people.  Yep, that's the kind of crime I hate.  The news said they shot African Americans.  If they were in north Tulsa, who else would they have to shoot?  Last time I looked, north Tulsa was the home of a lot of black people and there weren't any white people out walking through that part of town. This morning the paper indicated that one of the two men had a father that was shot by a black man a couple of years ago so there may be more than is apparent on the surface. 


Lets boil this down to a couple of stupid guys doing a really stupid thing and shooting people.  You can call them racists, you can call the haters, in fact, you should call them murderers.  For that, Texas has installed an express line to the death penalty.  I wonder how long these two will be fed and housed by the State of Oklahoma. 


Yes, Denny has what he calls the Mad Dog Rule.  If you get caught doing something as bad as killing people, they should just take you out behind the jail and shoot you.  There is a guy in Arkansas that I would vote to give him this punishment. 

I am still taken back by the news coverage of the Trevon shooting.  They continue to show the picture of as 13 year old in the coverage and the kid was 15.  How about a more accurate depiction of the youth or letting the coverage die down a little.  We have a race war going on but it isn't an innocent white on black shooting, it is the crime going on in the cities that is people on people.  If there were as many black killed by whites as there are blacks killing blacks, there would be a howl heard by the entire world.   Somehow we have caused a lot of young kids to lose faith in the future and they think what they do today won't change anything.  

I have had my ears to the ground trying to figure out if the KU Basketball player T-Rob (Thomas Robinson) was going to go pro or not.  There is a news conference scheduled for today  at 11:30 to clarify.  They don't hold a news conference if they are going to stay.  I wish him well.  On the subject of KU Players, I read today that Danny Manning's son is planning to walk on at KU next year.  He is a 6'1" guard and will have to earn his playing time for a year or two.  I wonder why he didn't join his dad at Tulsa.  Oh well. 


I am off to the Doctor today to see what the hell the strange lump on my arm is all about.  I am hoping it is a fatty deposit but who knows.  I sure don't.
