Full title: Couple met and married within a month and stayed together for 65 years... only to be parted after home invader beat wife to death

An 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and battered to death by a home invader who also shot her 90-year-old husband in the face with a BB gun. Nancy and Bob Strait, who had celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in December, were discovered by their daughter at their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Both the pensioners were rushed to hospital where Mrs Strait, who was nearly blind, died from her injuries.

Mr Strait, who served in the 101st Airborne Division in World War II, suffered a broken jaw, broken ribs and severe bleeding. He is in a serious condition in hospital. Police have arrested 20-year-old Tyrone Dale David Woodfork in connection with the case.

The home invaders made off with their Dodge Neon, a television and $200. Woodfork was later found hiding in a nearby house after a witness spotted the stolen vehicle being driven down the road.

Perp needs fryin'. My prayers go out to one of our finest, Mr. Strait, and Mr. and Mrs. Strait's poor daughter. Lord hear our prayers.

This story is unbelievably enraging.

Before I got to the name of the perp, I knew what race he was. When I read the name “Tyrone” I would have bet the farm he was one of Holder’s people.

Put the rabid dog into a cage with other rabid dogs and let the outcome take care of itself.

"When you really grasp that there are people, to use the term loosely, who are capable of brutalizing the fragile and helpless..."

The general public has no idea of what walks free among them, and comes into contact with them and their children on a daily basis. If they did, capital punishment would be instituted nation wide. As a colleague of mine once said during the course of a particularly gruesome homicide investigation, "You don't have to be particularly religious to believe there's something evil out there..."

As our Lord Jesus Christ said about Judas: “It would have been better that that man should have never been born.”

I just heard a message about godly fathers and drop out dads and the consequences of both. I think of 1 Timothy 5:8:

“But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

I’m sure Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will be commenting shortly.

I don’t understand why there is no mention of the fact that Tyrone is actually a good boy who was turning his life around. He only fell in with the wrong crowd. The photo is really unflattering. I U.S. paper would find a graduation photo of him in cap and gown. Where is the U.S. coverage?

Notice how this story has to be covered in the foreign press. Apparently there are TWO stories on this in American media.

This is one that if it was my family, we'd handle this ourselves.

It made the local news.

I try not to disclose my exact location in public forum 'cause there could be somebody lurking out there who doesn't really need to know... but let's say that I live in the coverage area of this TV station:

http://www.newson6.com/story/17170320/neighbors-of-beaten-elderly-couple-take-safety-measures

"Northeastern Oklahoma" is a nice place to live with the best of rural and urban life. Unfortunately the worst also.

Around here, most clear-thinking people have at least one gun in the house "just in case", especially veterans of Mr. Strait's generation. I don't know, I've only read the news reports, but I'm going to assume that either Mr. Strait had a weapon in the house but wasn't able to get to it, or it's possible that he had gotten frail enough that he wasn't able to use a weapon - he and his wife had been convinced by their family to move into an assisted living center.

The move was planned for the day after Mrs. Strait was murdered.

Oh yeah one other thing... the comments section at the Channel 6 website have been scrubbed... there were lots of uh, candid remarks about the uh, societal influences that produce this kind of stuff...

The comment that I would add is that this white couple had lived in north Tulsa minding their own business for 65 years without trouble from anyone - and then this punk comes along. I hope he's not related to anyone that I might know.

The face of B.R.A.

The Press will suppress this whole story, as usual.

Where is the U.S. coverage?

Too busy focusing on the (white) Zimmerman guy who shot and killed a (black) feral yout in Florida.

Yes, because it doesn't fit their agenda to show blacks as poor downtrodden victims and whites as evil oppressors living on the work of the blacks. (that model kind of ended in 1864, but the media is trying to keep it alive) "Only the news that fits will print." or something like that.

At this moment (1125am ET) Laura Ingraham is talking about the Zimmerman case and comparing it to the non-coverage of the white kid doused in gasoline and lit on fire in Kansas City. KC is also known for “the knockout game,” which also has received zero MSM media coverage.

I wish Laura would mention these other cases.

There’s a reason why the majority of prison populations are “minorities.” Even though they’r sentenced more leniently than whites, they commit a disproportionate number of crimes. But of course reporting that and rampant welfare fraud, etc. doesn’t fit the MSM agenda
