Blacks fearful after shootings: "I've got a 15-year-old, and I'm not going to let him out late."

[Cali_Democrat]

Okla. - Residents of Tulsa's predominantly black north side said Saturday they fear a shooter is still roaming their neighborhoods looking for victims after five people were shot - three of them killed - a day earlier.

"We're all nervous," said Renaldo Works, 52, who was getting his hair cut at the crowded Charlie's Angels Forever Hair Style Shop on Saturday. "I've got a 15-year-old, and I'm not going to let him out late. People are scared."

Investigators believe the shootings are linked as they took place at about the same time and within a 3-mile area. All five victims were black, and all were out walking when they were shot.

One of the victims told police that the shooter was a white man driving a white pickup truck who stopped to ask for directions before opening fire. Officer Jason Willingham said Saturday that the pickup was spotted in the area of three of the shootings.

If you guys know anybody in Tulsa, tell them to be safe and stay indoors. There's a racist maniac on the loose gunning people down.

1. Why would a 15 year old be out late?

[HangOnKids]

2. Really?

Your 15 year old never went to a 9 o'clock movie and got home after 11:30 12ish ? Really?

[virgogal]

6. Nope---they were picked up.

3. In the case of a 15 year old, and in times such as this in Tulsa, "late" could be after dark. . .

[HangOnKids]

4. Yes

I was trying to avoid being snarky to the other poster as this was just so obvious. Thanks for your post.

7. True. I was kind of thinking after 11:00 was "late".

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. Really? That's your concern? The subjective definition of "late"?

It's my understanding that Trayvon wasn't out "late", but it didn't prevent his untimely death.

[ZombieHorde]

8. For the same reason an adult may be out late.

Stuff to do.

9. Shooting hoops? Movie? Evening workout? nt

[fascisthunter]

10. why not? Explain?

you looking for a negative angle?

[virgogal]

11. Late in my home was 11:00 PM----No 15 year old needs to be out then.

[fascisthunter]

12. and if your child were out afterwards, would it be justifiable for he/she to be shot?

Would you not be upset if your child was shot after that time? It really shouldn't matter.

13. That's what I was thinking

Why would a 15 year old be out late anyway?

[NOLALady]

14. Sometimes they run out to

local 7/11s to get snacks around 7ish.

[bemildred]

15. +1. nt

16. I think I'm gonna cry.

Do the nation's neo-nazis think they have a license to lynch now?

[PatrynXX]

17. course in Florida a certain minority of whites just openly carry guns around

why I have no idea. neo nazi's intend to do one thing

[bl968]

18. They win

If you let them make you fearful, they win. You will be doing exactly what they wanted you to do, become second class citizens who are not allowed the same privileges that white folk are.

[EFerrari]

19. Yeah, time to carpool errands for your black neighbors and friends.

until this jackass is apprehended.
