Anyone can google hate crime and see this is also happening other places. The difference is how the residents of the state of Oklahoma respond to it; how they object to it; or they can let their silence speak for them. . I will not be buying or visiting your great state until i hear a public outcry about this incident. Please outcry whatever you want want but this silence is deafening. | |||

Horrible, especially in this day and age. It seems stupidity is still running rampant. I hope something is done, something that will actually send a message to these kinds of low lifes. A message that says we will NOT put up with this kind of crap. | |||

http://www.news9.com/story/149...ck-church-in-sapulpa "We are considering it a hate crime," he said. "Because the intent was there to build the cross, wrap it in what they wrapped it in, took it across the street to a church, set it up and set it on fire." He said the cross was wrapped in cloth and plastic, and then ignited. | |||

If you really believe you are a great american you would never let this pass by without commenting on it. Where is " the sot". the sot has been in more black churches and said he tried helping and assisting the black people more than anybody i have ever heard. If i had a nickel for every time "the sot" boasted about being in black churches and helping etc.....i would have a dollar. | |||

Many Americans will never truly experience complete independence. Cause as long as they can refer to or recite from the "good book" they can justify all their egregious behavior. And keep trying to avoid these most unpleasant subjects with your silence. | |||

I'll bite. Do you realize that Enid is 106 miles away from Sapulpa? Woodward is 200 miles from Sapulpa. Paint-huffing teenagers are stupid. Is that what you are waiting for? You claim to live in "New-Canaan" Connecticut. Go down to the driveway and get in your car and drive east. Stop when you are 6 miles shy of Newport, Rhode Island. That is how far it is from Enid to Sapulpa. You have to drive another 87 miles east to reach the Woodward distance. I hope you can swim. Should we hold you responsible for not speaking out about crime in New Haven? Hartford?? Hartford has had 19 or 20 murders since January! Surely you must take moral high ground here. Hey, it's only 117 miles from your house to Providence! Have any comments on Providence crimes? | |||

mr. T you lived in Connecticut..hope that helps. if weak minded people tried burning crosses in front of a black church in my area we would show support for the church members and clergy and outrage at the criminal act...hope that helps. | |||

Yes, I am from Connecticut. West Hartford and Groton Long Point. What does that have to do with what you said about yourself? What would make you think that folk are not outraged and appalled? Why do you think no-one went to the church to be supportive? Do you not watch our local TV stations? Do you not read the two big newspapers and all the comments? Is this the only forum in Oklahoma where this might be discussed? This is not a local story. This should be in Headlines, not local stories. | |||

Sadly, a very large chunk of people in Enid have no idea what even goes on here in their own town, let alone a city two hours away. | |||

http://www.sapulpaheraldonline...2c64a34884961284.txt County law authorities told the Herald that the teens gave boredom as their reason for burning the cross. Bored! So you build a great looking cross with near perfect right angles. You lug the heavy cross with all your supplies and trespass onto private property and you set it on fire. That is not boredom! Now if they would of done the same thing to a white church they prolly would of gotten their butts beat by pa. My guess is all they got was a wink and a pat on the back. This message has been edited.
