TULSA, Oklahoma - Tulsa Police have confirmed to News On 6 that an elderly man, who with his wife was brutally beaten by intruders to his home in March, has died. Bob Strait, 90, was critically injured in the March 13 assault, which took place in the 3300 block of East Virgin Street.

The couple were married 65 years before Nancy Strait, 85, died at a Tulsa hospital from wounds sustained in the beating.

You should be familiar with this story. Bob Strait and his 85 year old wife were attacked in their home. His wife raped, later to die, and now Bob Strait has succumbed to injuries from the beating.

Bob Strait served in the Airborne group on D-day. This country had a contract with Bob Strait. A contract to protect him in his last years from savagery. That contract was ignored. The killers had to have been known to police, the courts and the schools. They should have been stopped before they could beat and rape an 85 year old woman and a 90 year old man, to steal a TV and a car.

This is an important story, because it's another piece of a growing pattern. America is going to see Zimbabwe like patterns of criminality. And here is another sickening example.

Another blessing from the Great Society.

This is a definite death penalty case if the evidence against Woolfork is beyond any dispute.

Execute him, and anyone who wants to defend him.

The Straits deserved better than to die like beaten dogs.

George Zimmerman is beginning to look a lot better to me. If there was a Zimmerman around the Strait’s neighborhood, perhaps they would be alive today.

101St Airborne, D-Day. Don’t get any braver.

Hoping the killers get the speedy trial and speedy justice they deserve.

[dfwgator]

They deserve the “pair of pliers and a blowtorch” treatment.

I wonder if Obama is gonna claim this “yute” as “his son?”

[Aria]

If Obama had a son he would look like the degenerate lower than pond scum perp.

[wardaddy]

So where is the effing media?

Waiting for Juneteenth...

[Yorlik803]

I was thinking about just drawn and quartering the feral dogs.

[Myrddin]

You're playing nice. Some leftover lemon juice, salt and tequila would make a nice warm-up...for external use only.

[ThunderSleeps]

Well, I read that Oklahoma is running low on their execution drug. I will gladly volunteer to drop the hammer on the punks responsible for this. Better yet, and slightly poetic justice, just give me 30 minutes alone with this guy with my Ka-Bar and 100’ of para cord. I’ll bring my own para cord. Please.

[Jay Santos CP]

There will be no media.

These two were the type of people that built this country. Raised in poor conditions during the Depression. Fought the country's war and lived a modest life.

This is what we allow you to get at the end of your life?

On so many levels, this is one of the most disturbing stories I have ever seen.

I’m guessing a firing squad or scaffold building crew could be assembled faster than I can write this. Either would no doubt contribute their labor, equipment and materials gratis.

[DemforBush]

It’s terrible whenever any innocent person is harmed or taken advantage of by lowlife thugs. But this case...words fail me. I cannot imagine the agony of Mr. Strait’s final days. Not just from his physical wounds, but also from losing someone he loved and cherished for almost 70 years, in such a vile and violent way. I have no doubt his heart was as broken as his body.

All those years of good living, being blessed enough to survive D-Day, raising a family and later the joy of doting over all of those grandchildren and great-granchildren. All of it, gone. Taken away by some piece of garbage. It just sickens me to the core.

[beaversmom]

TERRIBLE!

[ThunderSleeps]

I would quite literally turn the key in the truck tomorrow and head to Oklahoma for the opportunity to help serve justice for Mr. Strait. I’ve got the vacation time at work, I would gladly use it. I’ll bring my own tools, provide the rope. I can even tie the right knot.

His Congressman should wear his airborne beret in the House of Representatives and get a shout-out from Pelosi in a just America.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Tyrone Woodfork, who has been charged with first-degree murder for Nancy Strait's death.

This is an important story, because it's another piece of a growing pattern. America is going to see Zimbabwe like patterns of criminality. And here is another sickening example.

Agree with the 'Zim' comparisons/warning. The 'have not's' are on the rise; armed/dangerous; and without a Moral thought to guide them. Rather; just the opposite in place. . . Thank a Liberal. And don't think for a moment; we can survive four more years of Obama; while we wait for Mr. Right.

We cannot survive. Albeit it painful; better/easier; to keep Mitt 'in line'; than Obama.

Again; look at Zimbabwe; and any and all dictatorships; rising or 'in place'; and how they stay in place; and realize the challenges, for 'change'. We cannot go there; but four more years of Obama will guarantee; that as citizens; we will be powerless.
