Yup. The fear mongering xenophobic bullshit rhetoric from POLITICAL candidates blows my mind. It's incitement.

It's a white male, that's why.
Fuck this. Fuck this. Fuck this.
So many things wrong with this story I can't express my anger enough.
I'm legit scared about what will happen to my Muslim family, thankfully we're in the Northeast but that doesn't necessarily rule out any potential racist fucknuts with a gun.
The asshole was literally waiting for him outside his door. Fuck the authorities. Ugh.

What was there to stop him? Even if he couldbt get one himself he could have easily been handed one by a friend or relative, especially someone sharing same racist views.
This is an absolute shame and could have been prevented with reasonable gun laws. Fuck that piece of shit scumbag and his disgusting desire for racial bloodshed.
Uh... how?
I don't understand how you can just blame the cops and not the system as a whole. Simply owning a fire arm is not reasonable cause to arrest someone in America, even if they have past incidents of violent crime. Even if this guy had altercations with his neighbors in the past, unless there was an actual direct threat made, the police can't really do anything.
If they had put this guy into a cell, what would it be for? Purchasing a firearm? His previous altercations had already been dealt with in court or were set to be dealt with.

Exactly. "Nothing can be done" and there's a fucking history? Fuck you, there is.

Is the murderer Muslim?
Black?
Immigrant?
No?
Well, looks like nobody will give a fuck since the murder can't be used to promote some anti-Muslim or anti-immigration agenda. If he was one of these things, the story would be repeated a few hundred times in GOP campaign speeches.

I don't know, they don't seem to have problem locking up black youth for nothing. Why not this racist but?

Jesus, fuck this racist piece of shit.
. Sad.
I'm hoping the social media campaign on this picks up. The story is relatively old and I only heard about it last night. I was surprised there was never a thread on GAF.
The guy called the cops before he was hurt.
What a failure of local protection...Alligatorjandro

Was he armed when he was arrested?

Despite getting out on bail, was there any way to let him out without letting him back to his home? I get that its his house but he lives next to his victims, and with that history there had to have been something the system could have done until his trial.

You don't have to do that. If someone is too ignorant or privileged to not see white privilege you just 0.5432 seconds of google search and endless results.
Take your pick, rapists, murderers, thieves, drug dealers, honestly the sky is the limit when it comes to white folks getting off too easy until something horrific happens.
This story is just infuriating. Fuck, an easily preventable death. Goddamnit.
Not a solution but house arrest would have been a start.
Cops get a lot of blame on this board and rightfully so, but what could they have done here? This is a failing of the court system not the police. They had no indication that he would do this other than he ran over his wife. That doesn't mean he's going to shoot the husband now the first chance he gets.
What would you have the cops do? Put an officer on front of the house 24/7 on the off chance that he might try something?
And just because he had a previous conviction of assault with a deadly weapon doesn't automatically make it a felony that he would lose his gun rights for. People plead to lesser crimes every day which drops a felony to a misdemeanor so that they can maintain their gun rights.
And a report to the police that he purchased a gun wouldn't be enough to do a search warrant even if he wasn't able to legally own a gun. You can't just call the police and say your neighbor that is a convicted felon bought a gun unless you are the one that sold it to him. You can't search his house by that alone. The police probably went over to his house and said "we have reports that you are in possession of a gun". He would then say "I don't have a gun I don't know what you're talking about". And that would be the end of it because the 4th amendment still applies for him.
Be mad, but be mad at the right organization. The cops didn't fail him, the judge that agreed to let him out on bond failed him.

I can't wrap my head around how laws allow him to have guns if he were previously convicted of assault and has a history of violence. Another innocent life lost. RIP.

This guy should not have been granted access to a gun.
Either police, criminal justice, or political heads need to roll. Unfortunately you're always going to have fucked up people like this but there are systems in place to keep people safe. This guy did what he supposed to do as a racist murderous piece of shit. The powers that b did none of what they were supposed to with ample opportunites to right these wrongs and to protect one of its citizens.
Like its been aluded in the post if this was a black 19 year old at step one he would have been doing jail for a looong time. This was state sponsored terrorism.

Very unfortunate. Truly the face of a man that feels so insecure and vulnerable, that is filled with such contempt and disappointment with himself, that he will lash out and lay blame to others instead of making any attempt to understand himself.

Damn right in my own town too. Our law enforcement is a joke around here and it's even worse in the neighboring town of Owasso. Thoughts go out to the family of the deceased, this could have been preventing but knowing Tulsa police they tend not to do anything until something does happen.

This story is not making waves because the idiot cops are calling it a "feud". Sure. The guy got upset because their dog pissed on his fence. Or because the garbage can was on his side. Guys, this is a fucking hate crime. This monster harassed the poor family for years and the cops just treated it like it was a typical dispute. Even the fucking judge set his bail so lightly. FBI should swoop down here and investigate what the fuck happened and how did this menace to society was able to walk free for a year with no checks, and throw federal Hate Crime charges at him.
Ridiculous. So pissed off right now.

Yeah until this morning I only saw a few local news outlets and Twitter accounts covering this. Kind of sad but not entirely unexpected.
*responsible gun owner.
Nothing is ever going to change with gun laws. I have accepted that as truth now.
