GOP Crime-ish:
From a conversation involving McCurtain County Sheriff Kevin Clardy, County Commissioner Mark Jennings, sheriff's investigator Alicia Manning, and Jail Administrator
Larry Hendrix (Oklahoma):
"My papaw would have whipped his ass, would have wiped him and used him for toilet paper," Manning said of the younger Willingham, according to the newspaper. "If my daddy hadn't been run over by a vehicle, he would have been down there."
Jennings then piped in, saying "I know where two big, deep holes are here if you ever need them."
"I've got an excavator," Clardy chimed in, according to the newspaper.
Jennings, according to the newspaper, then said he knew "two or three hit men" who belong to the Louisiana mafia. "They're very quiet guys and would cut no f---ing mercy," he reportedly said. Manning, according to the newspaper, discussed "who would get the blame if anything was done" to Christopher Lee Willingham's wife, Angie.
When the talk turned to who might run for sheriff against Clardy, Jenning recalled how a former sheriff "would take a damned Black guy and whoop their ass and throw them in the cell." "Yeah," Clardy replied, according to the newspaper. "It's not like that no more."
"I know," said Jennings. "Take them down to Mud Creek and hang them up with a damned rope. But you can't do that anymore. They've got more rights than we've got."
