New Evidence Lends Credibility to Oklahoma Veteran's Version of 2014 Shooting

Oklahoma Veteran Edwin Turlington charged in 2014 for shooting in self defense
On August 23, 2018 I published an article about an Oklahoma Army Veteran who has been fighting a 4 year legal battle for confronting trespassers who he suspected were making methamphetamine. The article entitled "Oklahoma Veteran Arrested for Defending Himself Against Alleged Meth-Maker" contained details about the confrontation between Oklahoma veteran Edwin Turlington, Darrell Philpott, Steven Barrett and an unidentified third man.

Turlington claims that Philpott became violent and charged him with a whiskey bottle after he tried to execute a citizens arrest on Philpott and it was at this time Turlington fired a single .380 caliber round into the front of Philpott's leg and then called 9-11.

Astonishingly Oklahoma Sheriff Harlan Moore believes that Turlington shot Philpott in the back of the leg while he was fleeing (despite photographic evidence and the ER nurse who treated Philpott who, in her notes stated the round entered the front of Philpott's leg and exited the back of his leg.

Sheriff Moore also stated that Philpott, Barrett and the unidentified man were merely cutting wood on what they thought was foreclosed property.

New evidence has emerged which validates Edwin Turlington's story.  Philpott was arrested on October 04, 2016 in Benton County, Arkansas on a Driving While Intoxicated charge. October 12, 2016 Benton County, Arkansas court documents about the arrest state:
A July 21, 2018 incident report from Arkansas again finds Philpott intoxicated on Hwy 72. In the report deputy Cedric Lampkin states that Philpott became combative and threatened to kill the deputy both at the scene and again at the jail.
Both the 2016 and the 2018 arrest records of Philpott show that he is a user of methamphetamine and becomes violent and threatening when confronted. 

Both the 2016 and 2018 arrest reports of Philpott confirm Edwin Turlington's description of Philpott's behavior on April 14, 2014. 

The big question is; Why is Oklahoma Sheriff Harlan Moore protecting Darrell Philpott?

Revealed: SPLC Co-Founder Accused of Trying to Molest Step-Daughter

Southern Poverty Law Center Founder Morris Dees Tried to Molest Step-Daughter Chances are that if you're reading this you have heard of The Southern Poverty Law Center. The non for profit legal organization that has provided information to law enforcement and is a "go to" source of information by almost every reporter that encounters a "controversial" story. Widely known for its defense of Civil Rights the SPLC has filled its coffers defending the oppressed and exposing hate-groups, at least that is how the organization wants to be perceived. The reality is that the SPLC has made their millions by twisting the facts. They would have the public believe there is a Klansman hiding behind every tree and a Nazi at every podium.  I once found myself in their crosshairs by proposing to hoist a Missouri Battle Flag at the grave of Missouri Confederate Colonel William Jeffers in Jackson, Missouri. The ironic thing about their opposition to this "hate-c...

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Missouri Mayor Bob Fox Regarding the City's Confederate Monument

An Open Letter to Cape Girardeau Mayor Bob Fox, Cape Girardeau, Missouri Dear Mayor Fox, On June 12, 2020 KFVS-12 news interviewed a “community activist” who created a petition calling for the removal of a memorial honoring Southeast Missouri’s Confederate soldiers. In the interview Sophia Voss made a baseless claim that the statue was originally erected in 1931 near the old Mississippi River bridge on Morgan Oak street as a warning to African-American citizens traveling through the area. There is no basis for that claim whatsoever. KFVS also interviewed “community historian” Denise Lincoln who stated, “I think that if I were African-American, bringing my family through this area, and the first thing I saw was CSA, a monument to the Confederacy, this might be a town you just keep driving through.” I can’t help but feel that Mrs. Lincoln lacks professionalism and objectivity. If I were an African-American traveling through Cape Girardeau the first thing I would notice is the depleted co...

Emancipation Expectations

Some historians believe that the Emancipation Proclamation never freed a single slave and that it was a political ploy to garner support for the war by rebranding it as a moral fight. Information found in the National Archives seems to support their argument. According to the article entitled " Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 ": "Although the Emancipation Proclamation did not immediately free a single slave, it captured the hearts and imagination of millions of African Americans, and fundamentally transformed the character of the war from a war for the Union into a war for freedom." The transformation was a success politically but in reality the "emancipated" slaves were labeled as "contraband".  Their fate was not freedom but rather a new type of slavery through exploitation. Information found in a paper entitled " Civil War in the Delta: Environment, Race and the 1863 Helena Campaign " states: "By early June ...
