Unfortunately, Mr. Strait had to go back in the hospital this morning suffering from complications.

This just plain sucks.

How very sad. And today was the day of his beloved wife's funeral.
 
From the article....
 

"After he found out she was gone, we brought her in to him, and turned her to where he couldn't see her bad side and he held her hand for quite awhile and all he could say was I loved that old woman, I loved that old woman for so long,"

Bob Strait was born in 1922. I can see Mr. Strait growing up in depression, dust bowl era Oklahoma. Real poor by any of today’s standards, but living a happy life, I like to think, all the same.

I imagine him as a 21 year old in the 101st Airborne, sitting on a steel bench in a plane waiting to jump. The darkness, the anti-aircraft explosions, waiting to jump into something terrifying.

He’s fortunate and he survives. He marries Nancy, they raise six children. The couple work, they contribute to their church and neighborhood. They live a modest and I’m suspecting, a happy life.

These two people represent the absolute core of what made this country. They are the diametric opposite of both the killer and a large swath of the people now in apparent control of this country.

Bob is alive, but both lives effectively ended when this unfathomable evil savagery wanted their 12 year old car and a television.

I’m a northerner, but I’m certain this would never have happened during the Jim Crow south. This country seems headed to a very bad end.

the American people have no morals or character let alone common sense...

we make wrong, feel right and right, feel wrong.....or so we're told...

we must accept homosexual sex as just another life choice...

we must provide abortions to any and all...

we must give up our earned SS benefits and have our earned Medicare benefits skimmed back because for some cockamamie reason, its more important to treat ILLEGAL citizens who have no skin in the game, better than the real citizens...

we must accept that Jesus can be no part of Christmas celebrations...

we allow these animals to run around and we make excuses for them...

my excuse for them is that THEY ARE ANIMALS and should be treated as such....

Well, I put it in Front Page News here at FR. But I knew the mods would move it to chat. And they did.

See post 35.

It seems that FR - like the lame stream media - is more interested in non-stop coverage of Trayvon Martin.

It was reported that the couple were just getting over the flu and were very weak.
They were also unable to care for themselves any longer and were due to be sent to a nursing home the next day.

Can you just imagine how that sweet 85 year old lady must have suffered being beaten and raped?
She was probably gang raped repeatedly...but we’ll never hear that in the news.

Can you just imagine how the 90 year old husband must have suffered seeing his dear wife raped before his eyes?

I hope they catch all of the feral gang of animals who did this, imprison them and their fellow inmates torture and kill them.

I bombarded the MSM with this story and demanded to know why it wasn’t covered.
I urge you to do the same.
