Who Are The Straits, And Why You Should Know

Tyrone Woodfork

A couple of weeks ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a black kid named Tyrone Woodfork severely beat an elderly couple, Mr. & Mrs. Bob Strait, who had been married for 65 years. Mrs. Nancy Strait died of the injuries received at his (Tyrone) hands. NO main stream media carried the story. NO Al Sharpton, NO Jesse Jackson, NO New Black Panthers, NO mad-hatter Frederica Wilson. NO ONE!

I supposed that if Mr. Strait had shot Tyrone, the whole country would know about the story. As it is, Mrs. Strait died, so the story was of no interest to Brian Williams and the rest of the sensationalist media gaggle. NO ONE in the main stream media gives a flip. They're only interested in Trayvon Martin.

Think about it…after 65 years of marriage… after 90 years of living a good life, this tragedy becomes their fate. According to the family of these great, great, great, granparents, “They would do anything for anybody.” 

The couple had been married more than 65 years, had six children and 18 grandchildren. They were great, great, great grandparents.

Bob Strait was a paratrooper in World War II and served with the 101st airborne where he was part of the D-day invasion. He was awarded the Bronze Star. Today, if Bob could ask his wife (picture the poignant last scene of Saving Private Ryan in the Normandy cemetery), had Nancy still been alive, she would have told him he was a good man. 

Tyrone kicked in their back door and beat them viciously just to take their TV, $200, and a BB gun. Nancy didn't make it. Bob had his jaw broken; ribs cracked then was left with a BB lodged in his face. This was not just a robbery but a brutal attack on two helpless victims. White victims. It is a shame the Straits did not warrant the same coverage Trayvon did. Where are you Al, Jesse, Panthers, Federica, MSM lackeys?

Today, Tyrone Woodfork, 19, is in custody. He lived just four houses from the Straits. He was on a suspended sentence for a 2010 burglary conviction. Tyrone was not alone; police say they are looking for four or five more suspects. Will their capture get any media attention? I think not.

Come to think of it, I didn’t hear Barack Hussein Obama lamenting that Tyron Woodfork could be his son on national TV , did you? 

Thanks to Brian K for bringing this to my attention!
