Vance also has AIDS and investigators are saying that he may try to spread it to anyone who comes in contact with him. Police responded to a report of shots fired about 6:30 p.m. yesterday evening and were investigating when “a gentleman came out with an AK-47 and just opened fire on everybody,” Lincoln County Sheriff Charles Dougherty told reporters.

Vance is suspected of killing two of his relatives, and he shot two police officers who sustained non-life threatening injuries. Vance even live streamed himself while on the run, displaying his AK-47 gun and threatening to cause more mayhem.

Initial warnings about this dangerous fugitive being on the loose correctly described him as a “white male”. But later reports started referring to Vance as an “Indian”.

Michael Vance has a Facebook page where some of the pages in his “likes” section are Donald Trump and white supremacist mascot Sheriff David Clarke. The general consensus is that any white person who subscribes to the rhetoric of a black person like Sheriff Clarke, who basically regurgitates white supremacist talking points about Black people, should be suspected of being white supremacists themselves.

It’s interesting that Oklahoma is the same state where a suspected race soldier executed an innocent unarmed Black man named Terence Crutcher a few weeks ago. And now the state of Oklahoma has an armed, AIDS infected, child molesting, cop shooting, suspected white supremacist murderer on the loose causing terror throughout the state.

Maybe if law enforcement there didn’t spend time executing innocent unarmed Black people, they could get real criminals like Michael Vance off the streets.

Theresa Sharp, the mayor of Lahoma, has a husband named Cary, who decided to spend this past Halloween evening with a few buddies who all donned the white hoods and robes of the Ku Klux Klan. An eyewitness named Misty Meister called the police to report the incident. What she reported to authorities was extremely disturbing. According to Meister, the men were dressed as Klansmen while standing around a a backyard bonfire…and they allegedly burned a cross as well.

Garland County (OK) Sheriff Deputy Aaron Moore told Meister that the men’s decision to been seen dressed in Klan gear was their “constitutional right”. Cary Sharp attempted to explain why he and the other men were dressed in this manner, and he had the following to say:

Sit around the bonfire and drink a couple of beers and thought, well my buddy — his last name is White — and the subject got brung up. We just thought it’d be something to do (because they thought it’d be funny), and it’s not something to do. I am embarrassed. I’ve shamed my family and friends, and I apologize for that.

Although Mayor Sharp delivered an apology in regards to her husband, we can’t help but wonder about the countless numbers of politicians here in the U.S. who are either directly involved in these white nationalist (supremacist) groups, or are very closely connected to people who are. No charges were pressed against Cary Sharp or his accomplices.
