oklahomagovmansion Female prison inmates claim rape at Oklahoma governors mansionProsecutors are investigating claims that the former head chef and chief groundskeeper at the Oklahoma governor's mansion raped three female prison inmates assigned to work on the mansion's grounds.

Neither man has been charged, but the Department of Central Services fired both of them Sept. 29 for violating departmental policies after a three-month Department of Corrections investigation.

The allegations raise questions about security at the chief executive's residence and oversight of a program meant in part to reward good inmate behavior by allowing them leave prison for the day and work off-site.

The state Department of Corrections believes the former state workers who supervised the inmates at the governor's mansion committed sexual battery, forcible sodomy and rape against the Hillside Community Corrections Center inmates, Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said Monday. The department recently turned its findings over to Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater's office.

Assistant District Attorney Scott Rowland said Monday that prosecutors met with Department of Corrections investigators for two hours Friday and that the investigation is ongoing.

    Welcome to Oklahoma,
    "come on vacation leave on probation."
    The only growth in industry has been in private prisons for the past decade in Oklahoma. I see no reason to change that just because there are 11 jobs being taken by inmates that could go to the working public.
    If it ain't brok don't fix it attitude is the only thing lax in OKLAHOMA!!!!!

    They were convicts. If they had'nt committed crimes they would not have been in this situation! In this country the word of a state employee is perhaps stronger than a vindictive prisoner.

    Isn't Oklahoma contiguous with Texas? And Texas is going to secede....right?
    I think they should both secede together and sail off into the Gulf of Mexico.
    B-bye !

    The management knew they did it and all they did was fire them. Shoot em all.

    horrific. despite any crimes these women may have committed, they were paying their debt to the state and these attacks not part of it.

    It was their cousins, they will be exonerated.

    "It was their cousins, they will be exonerated."

    denny, what is your problem? people in the 'flyover states' not 'real people'?
  • Phil E. Drifter
    It's not the fact they're 'flyover states' it's the fact that they fight education every step of the way.

    While I pity the fact these women were raped and assaulted, these states give themselves bad names because they fight tooth and nail to stay stupid.

    You meant "gum and nail" didn't you?

    That is awesome. I love it. These knuckle draggers have also pushed through legislation to mandatorily poison all their constituents with the H1N1 vaccine. You no longer have a choice in these backwards places. The idiots will be going door to door with the vaccine jabbing you whether you want it or not. Read up on it. Make sure it DOESN'T happen in your states.
  • You sir are an idiot. Think about this whole vaccine is poison shit for just one min. Anybody who is an Obama supporter or just not a fucking moron isn't going to think twice about getting the vaccine while the tea baggers are all going to stay the hell away from it. So following that logic the vaccine would only kill off Obama supporters leaving only you tea baggers here to oppose the president. Gee that would seem like shooting yourself in the foot now wouldn't it. SO even giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one that conspiracy STILL makes no fucking sense.

    You know, instead of attacking someone I would hope that you would have enough intelligence to look it up for yourself but I can see from your post that you don't. Take a look and see what is in the shot if your brain allows that much intake. Why do you think that in New York all the health workers are not taking it and are starting a lawsuit to stop the mandatory vaccinations? Why do you think that most doctors won't take it? Do some research before attacking people with your disinfo. What are you some kind of troll?
    Here is a link so your brain can understand that this virus was "most likely created in a lab and this is from a REPUTED news source:

    Read this before making any more stupid posts.
  • WOW congrats you just linked a story that a self professed "retirement hobby" scientist has given a theory for which there is "no evidence" (all quotes from your story) that the virus is man made. So if that’s all the proof you need then I am a "hobby real estate agent" and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you :D

    If you don't think that the Feds wouldn't do anything like this then obviously you don't know anyone that served in Vietnam do you? For every legend there is a base of truth to it.

    Some more reading material for you.
    At least I do research for myself instead of attacking people and calling them names.
  • really EVERY legend - and i am not sure one retirement hobby scientist saying that he thinks the virus is man made makes it a legend. I can make crap up too but that doesnt mean there is an ounce of truth to it.
  • Hologram5
    Now, to your "original attack" did you even bother to read the three links or are you too into attack mode to even bother reading the facts presented to you? Most likely the latter.
  • Ok so lets see here one crap bill that keeps getting introduced and killed over and over again is not a government. conspiracy. Not only that but NOTHING in any reputable articles comes even remotely close to proving your original statement about the vaccine being poison. Third certain groups having to accept a mandatory vaccination is nothing new, I had to take several when I was in the military and I haven't keeled over yet. Fourth, the military has a mandatory order for this vaccine and NO COUNTRY ON EARTH wants to kill off its entire military. I will agree that unscrupulous test have been conducted on small portions of the military and prisoners in the past but to kill off all of your health workers and military with a poison vaccine is probably the dumbest move any country could make ever. Fifth those articles you keep linking about the mandatory quarantine orders, well it happens all the time especially with diseases like drug resistant tuberculosis. So while mandatory quarantine and vaccinations may be controversial it in no way shape or form proves or even hints at the government distrusting a "poison vaccine". And for future the examiner is not the greatest of references, I really wouldn’t be citing it. Tell you what though seeing as I am getting my H1N1 vaccine tomorrow I promise that if I die because of it somebody will come to raw story and post in a flu article when I croak. But seeing as I work on a military base as a civilian and I have know several people that have already gotten their shot last week and don’t have so much as the sniffles I am feeling pretty good about my odds here.

    Thermisol is mercury based, we ALL know that if it isn't the omega based mercury it IS poison. Squalene isn't too pretty either. Also take a look at flouride, you do know that our water is filled with it right? There is enough flouride in two tubes of toothpaste to kill you. How much water do you drink per day? Too much I'd say.

    I would hope that if you have children, you love them enough to NOT put this crap in their little bodies.
  • Hologram5
    I don't know about you but I know the Fed Gov't doesn't give a rat's ass about me or my kids. If you can get the Vaccine without squalene or thermisol then I would say get it. I for one decline as I have already had the swine flu along with the rest of my family and got through it without a hitch. We were sick for three days and then were fine. It is nothing to worry about. If you get it the best thing for you is rest and lots of fluids. I hope you don't get it as I care about my fellow Americans and don't want to see ANY of them suffer from this or any other flu. Besides, the Genome sequences in this particular virus contain Avian, Swine and Human flus. How does this happen in nature? Does interspecies sex happen? Do they swap spit? Inquiring minds WANT TO KNOW!!
  • First off mercury is found in quite a number of natural sources that people ingest all the time (ever eaten tuna?) the levels of mercury in those shots wouldn’t hurt an infant. Secondly fluoride is toxic in extremely high levels as is just about anything. Third the chemicals in the H1N1 vaccine are the same chemicals in almost EVERY vaccine the difference is the virus they contain, seeing as how I have been getting vaccines that contain all the same chemicals since the day I was born and I have made it these 25 years so far with no problems once again I am going to take my chances. You obviously don't know the amount of chemicals that go through your body on a daily basis or you wouldn't be freaking out about this. The flu shot I got last year and every year is almost identical to the H1N1 shot I will get this year. My children have gotten flu shots every year as well and none of us are worse for the wear for it. Yeah maybe we don't get to "enjoy" taking those sick days like those who don't get the flu shots but I guess nothing comes without sacrifice. I do suggest taking a chemical biology class down at your local community collage, you would be shocked at the chemical compounds you ingest and your body creates. Everybody has certain levels of arsenic in their body but we aren't all choking on our tongues now are we. I for one am more concerned with the content of my tap water than the content of this vaccine.

  • You and your entire family had the swine flu huh? So you went to a doctor and had yourself tested i presume because if not then all you know is you were sick, could be the seasonal flu could be the swine flu, the only way to tell is to be tested but I have a feeling you were probably to afraid that the doctor was going to inject you with cyanide when he was "taking your blood".
  • Hologram5
    First, yes I do and have NEVER had any immunization of any sorts once I got out of school. Second, yes we did go to the doc and were tested and YES it was the swine flu. I have been on this planet say, about 25 years longer that you have. I was around the FIRST time they did the swine flu and watched people die and be paralyzed from an untested vaccine. Which was done then much the same as it has been this time. I do go to the doctors quite frequently as I suffer from chronic pain and no I don't take much of anything for it. And you obviously didn't read my post about Omega mercury which is found in fish. Read in the entirety prior to posting please for clarification. Being that you are only 25 you obviously know everything so why ask me anymore? Like my ma said to me, go make your millions while you still know everything. as I tire of this.
  • and once again seeing as i HAVE had vaccinations EVERY year of my life and I have been FINE as have my parents. I think you just have an unfounded fear of vaccines. And no I don't know everything but I do know I have not gotten the flu any year I got the flu vaccine nor have my children and everybody is just peachy. So I am going to continue to put my faith in modern medical science and as I have for the last 25 yeras I am sure I will be better off for it.

    Sure it isn't 100% but I have kids and am not taking that chance. Do you have kids? If so do you love them enough to NOT put this crap in their bodies? Also, you water has flouride in it. Do you know that there is enough flouride in TWO tubes to tooth paste to kill you? How much water do you or your kids drink a day? Too much i'd say.

    And for every "legend" there is a base of truth behind it. If you think the Feds wouldn't do anything like that to its people you don't know anyone that served in Vietnam. Go ahead and continue taking your Gov kool-aide and move along. Nothing more to see here.

    I cannot find the article now but here is a link to an article in which it gives a list of the states that have adopted a Fed Legislation that hints at forced vaccinations. I have read the article and find it very disturbing to say the least.
