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.

One of those stories that motivates any sane person to want to kill the animal that did this...may he rot in hell.

American media won’t touch this story. White victims (500 murdered a year by blacks) don’t count.

Probably.

So when are Al and Jesse going to show up to protest these crimes?

Keep this story out there. Include the alleged perpetrators picture.

Heard about this the other day. Terrible story. Too bad Tyrone couldn’t have come at the police holding a weapon.

Some people are against an armed response... however, I’d have hoped that Mr Strait of the 101st Airborne Division would’ve chosen his prior experiences to end the situation. Evidently he thought otherwise. God Bless He and His Wife.

Give him a break. The man was 90 years old. He probably had a tough time buttoning his shirt and standing up.

It looks great. As long as you include the beginning of the title and fit in as much as possible, it will work fine when searched. Thanks!

I wager that old warrior would have gladly have given his life to have five minutes of his youth back so he could have dealt with the animal thug coward in the way he so richly deserved.
