I always ran when I saw Flora coming, never caught me although she did catch and throttle a lot of my childhood friends, especially showoff boys.
Flora's mother, Jinci, was a really nice woman. I liked her and visited with her at her home up in Mountain Fork. She helped me learn both Choctaw and English. Flora behaved around her mother but I always sat across the table from Flora, was always ready to jump up then run like a scared rabbit.
Flora was married to several men, all at the same time. Came a day, early morning, she killed her third in line husband right in front of our school bus just at the tracks in Eagletown. Flora choked her husband to death, with much animation, then slung his body onto the Weyerhauser railway tracks for a train to sweep away.
Nothing came of this. No investigation, no questions asked by our country sheriff. We enjoyed an Oklahoma justice, "He needed killing", and he did; the man was a drunk, a physically violent drunk. Flora had a right to kill him.
Our rural farming sense of justice is quite different than modern day left liberal justice. Decades back, around our small community, we enjoyed swift and certain justice. This type of justice is what America needs; no nonsense justice.
Related to Mike Huckabee, years back there is a murderous lunatic over the line in Arkansas, Wayne DuMond. He raped a teenage girl in a rural town, DeWitt, Arkansas. DuMond has a long history of violence including a murder in our state of Oklahoma. Released on bail for his horrific rape of this girl, DuMond is caught by surprise at home, he is tied up then castrated. This is Arkansas justice. A local sheriff, Coolidge Conlee, proudly displayed DuMond's pickled testicles in a jar on his sheriff's desk. I like this. I like Conlee. Our nation needs more men like Coolidge Conlee.
DuMond sued to have his testicles returned. Sheriff Conlee flushed them down a toilet.
Murderer rapist DuMond takes to claiming he is a born again Christian, elicits help and support from a local Baptist church. Not long, then Governor Huckabee becomes involved, practices the good Christian way, commutes DuMond's life sentence then sets him free. DuMond moves to Missouri where he rapes and murders two women.
Few days back, four Washington state police officers are brutally executed. You know of this. This man, Maurice Clemmons, who murdered those four police officers, back in time, was serving a 95 year prison sentence in Arkansas. Mike Huckabee commuted his sentence, set Clemmons free.
Mike Huckabee holds the record for commuting prison sentences and setting free violent convicts. Huckabee is known for being a forgiving and compassionate good Christian.
This incident is the "Willie Horton" end of the line for Huckabee's political career. His Christian compassion, his religious fanaticism, has ended the political career of Mike Huckabee.
Those of you who support Huckabee, forget it, this is the end of the line for Huckabee.
