An 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted and battered to death by a home invader who also shot her 90-year-old husband in the face with a BB gun.
Nancy and Bob Strait, who had celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in December, were discovered by their daughter at their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Both the pensioners were rushed to hospital where Mrs Strait, who was nearly blind, died from her injuries

Do we still have Americans questioning the need and proper application of the Death Penalty? If so...I direct everyone's mental eye and imagination to the scene as it must have been while this animal was still there and ravaging this couple. This is a man you ever..EVER want to see free again? If you wound up in prison on some small thing..non-violent white collar, lets say...this is the guy you'd want as a bunk mate?
It appears in some research that Oklahoma ranks 3rd behind Texas and Virginia for executions per capita in Death Row cases. If there is justice in the world, the man who did this evil thing will add to that statistic..

That's horrible and heartbreaking,
but let's do a little experiment :
- what would you say if he attacked them like he did for let's say 10 millions in jewellery, would that be more acceptable for you?

Hmmm... I wonder if there will be a media onslaught of insinuated "racial bias" for Tyrone.
Will we see 400 threads about how Tyrone here was a racist and beat/shot them because they were white?
Will we be seeing "Justice for the Straits!" campaigns?
Will the mythical white panthers be putting out a death warrant on Tyrone?
Will derogatory T-shirts with racial slurs for blacks be printed en masse and embraced by the outraged white community over this obviously racially motivated murder?
Will we be seeing George Lucas start tweeting and putting elderly black peoples lives in danger?
Will Obama be making a make a heart-felt speech claiming that if he had parents, they would be just like the Straits?
....
Or will we see absolutely nothing except this one thread and article on the matter, with all the race baiters and witch hunters of "racism" and the propaganda arm of the government (the MSM) staying as far away as possible?
Gee, I wonder.
So much for equality.

Sadly.... yes. At least it would make a little more sense. At least the suffering would have been for some significant life-changing prize and not a trivial amount. Really, this offense means there is no value to human life for the victim nor the offender. He risked his own life and took the life of another over something trivial, which means he doesn't value life whatsoever, not even his own. At least if he did it for $10 million, there would be some justification for taking the risk, and we could at least assume he valued his own life.
