Vagrant Kills Tavern Owner

(Tulsa, Oklahoma) A homeless man, Terry Badgewell, used a length of pipe to kill Shawn Howard, owner of the Deadtown Tavern. Tulsa residents are angered and some fear vigilante justice may erupt against the homeless. People downtown have been seen wearing "F*** the homeless" T-shirts handed out by bar owners.

The prosecutor believes it is a case of self-defense so Badgewell has been released from custody. However, family and friends of Howard believe otherwise and are collecting signatures on a petition to have a grand jury hear the case. In the meantime, Interested-Participant recommends that vagrants vamoose from Tulsa and go to San Francisco or Key West, two of the best cities for the homeless where attractive benefits are provided.
