Bob and Nancy Strait, left, have died after an alleged home invasion by Tyrone Woodfork, right. (News On 6/Tulsa Police Department) An Oklahoma man suspected in a brutal home invasion -- already facing a murder charge for allegedly killing an elderly woman -- could face additional charges after the death last week of her husband, a D-Day veteran. Bob Strait, a 90-year-old Tulsa resident, died on Friday, and a medical examiner is determining his cause of death, News On 6 reports. He was injured March 13 when, police say, Tyrone Woodfork, 20, entered the house and attacked, allegedly beating and sexually assaulted Strait's 85-year-old wife, Nancy Strait, who died two days later. The couple had been married for 65 years. Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/07/beating-suspect-could-face-additional-charges-in-wwii-vet-death/#ixzz1uI22UZ14
That coward will never be a man. Bob Strait was a man, Tyrone Woodfork would never be anything remotely close to what this man was and what he and his generation ment to this Country. May Woodfork rot in Hell. Woodfork would never be anything more than wasted oxygen. RIP Bob Strait, a true American Patriot and Hero of Our Grateful Nation. RIP Nancy Strait.
Oh I can hear it now..."he's misunderstood, he never had a childhood, he has ADD, he's a good kid, he was beaten as a child" and on and on. WE DON'T CARE!!! PUT THE ANIMAL AWAY!!! RIP Bob and Nancy Strait. You will be remembered as being proud hard working Americans who gave back to your community and country to make it a better place to live.
Woodfork was booked into the Tulsa County Jail on March 15 and is being held on charges of first degree murder, first degree burglary, armed robbery and assault with a dangerous weapon No hate crime charges ha? ,gee what a shocker, Bob Strait was a World War II paratrooper who took part in the D-Day invasion as part of the 101st Airborne Division, where he was awarded a Bronze Star, This is no way for a hero to die, I'm sure Osama will have a press conference any minute.
Call it what it is. A fu&$&g hate crime! Fry this worthless piece of shit, and make his useless family watch.
Hate crimes are bullshit, no matter which direction the race finger points. Enhanced penalties for motive is essentially enhanced penalties for thoughts......anyone else remember "thought crimes" in Orwell's 1984? RIP Mr. & Mrs. Strait.
Imho unless someone actively goes out looking for a person because of their race,religion or gender its ridiculous to use the hate crime charge. Let's say I'm in a bar and some black person assaults me and we get into a brawl and I call him the N word, is that a hate crime. In Glosta a few guys beat the shit out of a gay kid that started a fight with them. The two guys used gay slurs and got hate crime charges simply because their words, they had never even met the guy before HE assaulted them. From what I read this doesn't sound like a hate crime yet, I was making a cynical remark about hate crime charges themselves. Most people revert to basic insulting during confrontation, if someones overweight they will use that, if their bald they will use that , if their Spanish they will use that, etc etc and its not correct usage imo.
Someone who unlawfully beats someone because they're (insert PC minority here) should be prosecuted.......for A&B, A&B D/W, and any other appropriate CRIMINAL offenses. Prosecuting someone for their thoughts is an absolutely frightening slippery slope.
Agreed 100%, I'm talking about getting into a fight or confrontaion for valid or invalid reason and during that confrontaion one person decides to use an insult that is race or gender based is not a hate crime but simply man's way of getting the better of the other.
Do they still have the electric chair in Oklahoma? Maybe they could bring it out of storage and polish it up. I mean, the kid's got just the right hair for it, so . . . .
Chain the pos to a pole and leave him there until nature takes its course. Maybe a few members of the 101st Airborne could pay him a visit and "explain" to him just how wrong his actions were. He should suffer every second of every minute of every day for the rest of his miserable hopefully short life. May the Strait's rest in peace, prayers for their family and friends.
