FBI Probes Tulsa Shootings As Possible Hate Crimes



ABC News’ Olivia Katrandjian and Alyssa Newcomb report:
Local and federal investigators are searching for a lone white male in a pickup truck who went on a shooting spree in Tulsa, Okla., early Friday morning, killing three pedestrians.
Five black males were shot, three fatally, in four separate incidents during a span of less than two hours on the same side of town and not far from one another, police said. Two males were critically wounded in the shooting spree. All of the victims were targeted while they were out walking.
The suspect is reported to be white, but the crimes have yet to been deemed racially motivated. The task force’s job will be to determine whether federal hate crime laws were violated, Tulsa World reported.
The FBI and the U.S. Marshals are assisting in the investigation.
Police Chief Chuck Jordan said “logic would lead you to believe that” these are hate crimes, but the police haven’t yet assessed all of the evidence to make that determination.
Sgt. Dave Walker of the Tulsa Police Department says the victims apparently did not know each other.
“We have not been able to find any commonality between the victims other than they were walking on the street,” said Walker.
But Dr. Warren Blakney, who heads the local chapter of the NAACP, believes the shooter did group his prey together.
“We feel like he’s targeting African Americans in this part of town. And I think some parts of law enforcement feel the same way,” said Blakney.
Jordan, who described the suspect as a “Lone Wolf,” said police are actively pursuing tips in the case and asking residents to contact police if they’ve seen anything.
“This is one where we have to stand together with our community. We need their help, we want their help and we hope we will get some good calls to give us some leads,” Jordan said.
“We are doing what we can do, someone needs to step up and somebody needs to come forward and say you know we know who did this,” Walker told ABC affiliate KTUL.
Police are looking for a white male driving a white pick-up truck, the station reported.
“As long as that person is loose, then we’re in danger, all of us are in danger, and I don’t want any vigilante stuff to start happening. I don’t want no race riot, I just want this person caught,” said City Councilor Jack Henderson.
Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett says the shootings are hard to stomach.
“It pains me to talk about such a violent event that we in this community have not seen certainly in modern history,” said Bartlett. ”We as a community need to be very involved with helping the police bring this person to justice. This is not a game.”

Obviously it's hate crime if all his victims were Black! It's not rocket science here. Nothing less than the chair for the vile POS sub-human trash shit! It's getting effing RIDICULOUS, all this murderous and vicious assaults on innocent human lives. Fucking KILL YA self fucktard, do the world a favor!


R.I.P to those poor innocent men. :-|

 

I'm just waiting for someone to refute this by bringing up a black person who robbed and killed a white family calling it the same thing.
Unreasonable can not and never will be reasoned with. The greatest lesson I've learned from this forum. I'm right and your wrong come fuck with me if you believe otherwise.

 

Not surprised you come raging out the gate with your first post to take a swing at your favorite punching bag - white victims. As if a bullet fired to kill a White victim "in a robbery" is any less damaging than a bullet fired to kill a Black victim in a drive-by. Nobody cares mate..a bullet has no color and doesn't hold back. Racists of all colors who target to kill can all die as far as people are concerned and their apologists can take a flying leap with them.

You can never be reasoned with..that is your lesson FOR the forum. And you need to be taught a bigger lesson if you think issuing a disgusting "challenge" to forum members to "come fuck with you" is gonna fly here. What the hell have you been drinking?! Now sit down with your empty threats.

 

Do you know how to read? What threats?
I wasn't even talking about this forum I was talking about the people who dispute racial bias with other crimes. I never said that someone being white was any less tragic I just pointed out that whenever some says an obvious hate crime was racially motivated they do the same thing with other crimes to take away attention from the first crime. As if it to say "Well its kind of deserved because blacks are robbing and killing white families"
Get it now or do I need to dumb down even further for you?

Lol@ I can't be reasoned with. Did you see my last posts on the Treyvon thread? I'm way more fair than most of you race baiting whiners.

 

I have absolutely no clue where she's getting this anti white sentiment bs from. Its like if you don't agree you must be racist.

Wait I think I just a clue of what it must be like to be white lol

 

imagine being white for a day...no second guessing anyone's motives.... no psychological pressure from society to feel inferior....

damn...id be flying high all day and night :smt025

 

I think they don't realize it because its their life and they don't know any different. I remember a prof asking our class how many of us think about race and it was pretty much only the blacks and hispanics who raised their hands. Interestingly enough the Asians sat there nice and happy. If there's no racial tension against you you don't have shit to think about in terms of race.
Its weird how it makes you paranoid about the dumbest shit and I hate it.
I want to believe I can relax but then shit like this happens or the Treyvon Martin situation and I'm back on hyper alert. Its weird existence not to mention fucking exhausting.

 

I hope you don't let it overwhelm you...

 

I hope they catch this murderer asap.

 

2 suspects in custody

If you think for ONE minute I'm the only one who thinks you don't give two shits about white victims, think again. I just let you know. Just because you have your lappy and a rude dude who HATESWW kissing your butt, don' get it twisted that you're to quote you, "right and your wrong come fuck with me if you believe otherwise." You are far from right "my friend".

Two posts began this thread - the OP story suggesting its a hate crime, and mine confirming it absolutely is!..and nothing less than the chair for the racist pond scum.

Somehow in your little mind, you decided not to focus on the story, but warn that you're "just waiting for someone to refute this by bringing up a black person who robbed and killed a white family calling it the same thing."

Wha? Who? What? Where pray-tell did you see white any victim comparisons?
That's right DK..only from you. You're an instigator. It's why no-one can have a decent discussion with you about matters of race. Another WP tried to in another thread and you dismissively told them to shut up. No wonder WP don't want to engage you. Now whistle for your lappy and haterofWW to come massage your back so you'll feel better.

 

From the comments attached to the article not wwbm oy vay lol

And as far as the right and wrong comment I was sayinf thats what other posters say. That wasnt a xhallenge from me to everyone.

 

What tha....? Why is that even funny to you.?

 

No, absolutely not! That's why I had a pissed smiley. Look at the Story Header ..Police "probe" as possible Hate Crimes"

..but the police haven’t yet assessed all of the evidence to make that determination"

As I said, it's not rocket science in this case if they are specifically targeting to murder 6 RANDOM BLACK MEN who don't know each other, over the course of two hours...? Don't you see it, too??

I recommend in the future that you not consider anything of what I write when you can't even get this one straight.

 

UGH! Can you believe these racist bastid faces were the last thing those innocent men saw.

That's just effing rich. He has an issue with one person, so he kills innocent Black men who didn't do a damn thing. I can't take this anymore...my heart has to take a break.

 

I'll say this though. I commend the officers involved for doing such a quick and well done job. They caught these fuckers in days now that's some damn good police work.

 

..........Now these two are the real enemy.....You can rest assure, their prison life will be unbearable.........

 

Either that or they bend over for the Aryan Brotherhood for protection.
