Hard to carjack with a knife especially if the windows were up and the doors were locked.

Not to mention, after torturing these two poor kids, they were killed by a gun.. shot multiple times.

Anyway, I just thought it was ironic that the original crime started ( as it often does) with a gun.

I emailed Sharpton.. and asked

'Where's the outrage?' I doubt I'll get an answer.

I imagine if a bunch of caucasion guys acted 'outraged' (in Sharpton, Jackson fashion) , the race card would be utilized.

It's such a horrible crime....and it's such a sad double standard. We should be outraged.

Anyone have a website for these victims?

Karrie, I did the same. I found his link at the National Action Network. This IS an outrage. You are right, of course, that to be outraged will in itself be turned around to be racist. Whew.

I gave you the link to where I was posting about the original topic. So, you still want to know why I'm not posting about the original topic? You've confused me. But, what's new? There seems to be a free-for-all on religion going on and I'm confused as to why its allowed to continue in threads about crime. In theory, you could bring religion into any thread and justify it one way or another. I, for one, am tired of all the religious arguments on this board. Maybe I'm in the minority. If so, fight on.

While we are on the subject of getting tired of....I'm sick of many of the threads on here somehow bringing Oklahoma City into the subject at hand....I mean come on people move on from it...It's getting tired

Well, this topic was started in Current Events... where we discuss thing outside of OKC... but I think I see your point.. the board is OKCTalk... but within we have a community forum to discuss other issues.

If we only talked about OKC.. we wouldn't have a whole lot to talk about some days.

Forgot my usual smiley on the end of it karried...Joke must have bombed

As for your requested response from Mr Sharpton...Wonder what mathematically is the closest number possible to zero...Throw a % sign after that and that is my prediction of him getting back to you

Man only comes out to play a few times a year and is definitely still exhausted from the Imus debacle

My point was simply if you don't like where the discussion is going steer it back to the original topic. Nothing is stopping you or anyone else from discussing the original topic. However, unlike you, I did not see the religious arguments as wholly unrelated to the original topic. But, even if I did, nothing would stop me or you or anyone else from commenting on the original topic.

This thread is pretty much shot anyway, so I'll respond.

I see your point, I really do. I'm just really frustrated with all the religious flame-wars and took the opportunity to point out that this was all off-topic, or at least had veered away from the original intent of the poster - which is what I was also trying to discuss with my first post.

We can move on. Like I said, this thread is pretty much shot anyway.

Have a good day!
