It appears that the shooters have been arrested.

Jake England, 19, and Alvin Watts, 32, will be charged with three counts of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill, the Tulsa Police Department said. Police identified both suspects as white males.
Even though the victims were black and the shooters white the police don't know whether the shootings were racially motivated.

Though all of the victims were black, Tulsa Police Chief Chuck Jordan told Reuters on Saturday it was too early to know whether the shootings were racially motivated.

If indeed these two people are the perpetrators, then considering how quickly they were arrested they cannot be the brightest bulbs ever. Maybe goes hand-in-hand with being an utter psychopath, devoid of the ability of feeling empathy with other people.

Didn't suggest it was.

I understand that. I apologize for not being more clear. I was NOT commenting on you posting that link. I was commenting on the info in the link.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

There is a rumor going around that lethal injection is one of the most diabolical and painful ways to put a person to death.....ever.

I think that should be about right.

I don't understand why they just don't give them a big dose of propaphol. Michael Jackson's recipe for a permanent sleep.

On the radio over the weekend they were saying the younger man's father was killed by a black man. Hard to tell if this was a rumor or what. Murder is still murder. What were they going to do; kill every black person they meet or what?

That may be a rumor somewhere but it is 180 degrees different from the real facts. This very issue (whether the particular mixture of drugs used in lethal injections is cruel and unusal punishment) has been litigated all the way up to the Supreme Court-unsuccessfully.

I'm glad this got solved so quickly-I had visions of the Washington, DC sniper case all over again.

Speaking for myself, I'd rather a bullet to the head.

Indians on the Warpath. I guess that is possible.

I am part sioux so maybe that is why I have these wierd thoughts. There is a bronze of Sacagawea on our campus. i.e. Lewis & Clark Community College. She has a papoose on her back and is pointing the way to the parking lot. This use to be a shool for Women.
