Is this the story?

Someone else posted that OKC is 63rd for murder rates:

Of course it's in how you juggle the numbers and definitions, and I've heard that LEO agencies sometimes tweak numbers in reporting crimes, but Hoffmeister was technically correct in her claim, and Stitt looks a bit like an azz, and channel 9 gets to point it out.
Interestingly, The Frontier (not exactly a hotbed of conservatism) said Joy was correct, but left out the part where that has been true since around 2002.

Yes, that’s it and while I know she is ‘technically’ correct, the numbers can be moved around to fit a narrative. Per capita and definitions of crimes and how they are reported should be a factor but that’s not the angle the story took.
All our violent crime is primarily due the gunshow loophole. It's really the only thing that makes sense.

My guess is the ones from CA and others that are relocating their lives to OK for the most part are not liberals.

I deal with them directly and they like to tell me how things are done “back home” and imply that Oklahoma should “catch up”.

90% of the time I walk away wanting a shower to wash the liberal off of me.

Joy has preached critical race theory for the schools and there were some sexually explicit books found in the Mustang school library teaching positions and how to perform them. You don't hear about them now, but they have been removed, I think. Stitt may not be perfect, we all make mistakes because we are human, but he is Pro 2 A and has the States best interest at heart I feel. Joy has flip flopped from Republican to Democrat Party and is on the Democratic dole it seems. I believe Stitt is the best choice. Joy it seems received around 19 million dollars from the Oklahoma tribes to fund her campaign against Stitt. If she wins ,I hear there will be additional money that she will receive from the tribes. My $.02.
