'America' was never a Christian nation. Founded on murder, lies, oppression & greed. Receipts: treatment of the elders, orphans, prisoners, foreigners & the poor. 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Hebrews

¿How 'possible victim'? ¿If not 'possible victim', then the massacre did not happened ?

Haven't they been looking for these 'mass graves' for over twenty years? How exactly does one determine they died during the riot, and not say some other random crime? Especially something that happened over a hundred years ago in a city like Tulsa?

“The body of a second possible victim…” Doesn’t anyone speak English any more? Or does the victim have a second body?
