On 1/7/2022, a rare 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 was stolen in Tulsa right outside of downtown in the Pearl District. The car has a 4 speed manual transmission and a fairly loud exhaust.
The car has a black interior and fancy aftermarket gauges. It also has a voodoo camshaft sticker (a skull with the word Voodoo underneath) on the rear spoiler.
Detectives believe the people in the photos possible may be related to the theft of the car.
Anyone with information about the car or the persons of interest in the photos is asked to call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS. You can remain anonymous when calling.
Fwiw, there's something called the McGirt ruling, and subsequent state appeals court rulings held that certain tribe's reservations were never disestablished and that therefore the state does not have jurisdiction to prosecute major crimes involving Native Americans in a large portion of eastern Oklahoma, including the city of Tulsa.
Ergo, when in the event that stolen cars are involved, there may be no resolution if a tribe has anything to do with it. That's not racist, that's a legal issue I think is important to know about. If there was a redhead ruling in courts that gave redheads the right to not be prosecuted for car thefts, I'd report about that too.
McGirt v. Oklahoma, 591 U.S. ___ (2020), was a landmark[1][2] United States Supreme Court case which ruled that, as pertaining to the Major Crimes Act, much of the eastern portion of the state of Oklahoma remains as Native American lands of the prior Indian reservations of the Five Civilized Tribes, never disestablished by Congress as part of the Oklahoma Enabling Act of 1906. As such, prosecution of crimes by Native Americans on these lands falls into the jurisdiction of the tribal courts and federal judiciary under the Major Crimes Act, rather than Oklahoma's courts.
"there may be no resolution if a tribe has anything to do with it. That's not racist, that's a legal issue"...
ReplyDeleteActually, you could be accused of racism for using the term "a tribe".
If you were to have said "a tribal member". The tribe is made up of individuals. The distinction between saying "a tribe" and "tribal member" is the difference between saying "Mexico" and "Mexicans".
This is not to say that in our "enlightened" day and age you can be accused of racism for much less..
You are wrong that a tribe is racist, in my opinion, because you are also attributing racist pretentions to Mexicans. People from Mexico, are Mexicans. That's not racist, that's linguistics, not even semantics. I didn't invent this stupid damn language, I simply was born into the continent where it is spoken.
DeleteCan I be accused? Of course, but that's just the indicator that accusers are morons, with issues.
But it's not racist, groups of Native Americans are categorized by tribe. See Wikipedia, "There are 574 federally recognized tribes living within the US, about half of which are associated with Indian reservations." It's denominational, just like religious groups. Scots are categorized by clan. It's globally varied by English words, and I didn't start that either.
Natives of South America, deep in the jungle, aren't they also known by tribe? Mid to south Africans, and the Arabians, aren't they - or weren't they, also known by tribe?
If you steal something like this, what value does it have to you. You can't drive, you can't display it, you can't sell it. Did you steal it just to deny it to someone else? Steal it to keep it in you basement, under a cover? It's like stealing the Mona Lisa.
