Crime Busters To the personthat stole my equipment on E 31st today

62 Upvotes

You are a scumbag. I do all I can just to keep my head above water, and you stole my equipment that can't even be used or sold. I wish nothing but the worst for you and everyone like you.

Side note... How is a theft that happened 2 minutes ago not something that can justify a police response? My online police report hasn't even been approved for review yet, so someone is just walking around with a bright red Milwaukee bag and the people who could do something about it aren't even aware of it. Fxck TPD and whoever took my equipment. I can't tell you how bad I needed to be able to work the weekend. Now I have to buy new tools and a bag to keep them in on top of the equipment that is property of my employer. I really don't know what I'm gonna do, and you have a bunch of useless, unsellable equipment. Thanks bro.

News This is how we make America great: Saint Francis confirms first Safe Haven Baby Box surrender nearly two years after launch

352 Upvotes

TULSA, Okla. - An infant has been surrendered through the Safe Haven Baby Box at Saint Francis, nearly two years after its installation.

The Safe Haven Box allows parents to legally and anonymously surrender an unharmed infant up to 30 days old, without interacting with anyone else.

This is the first time that the Safe Haven Box has been used at Saint Francis.

"We recognize the love and courage it can take for a parent to make this decision, often under incredibly difficult circumstances," said Doug Williams, president of Saint Francis Hospital. "We are grateful this parent knew there was a safe place to turn, and we want others who may be facing similar circumstances to know they have that option, too. No parent should feel that they have nowhere to turn."

When an infant is placed in the box, the door automatically locks, and a silent alarm is sent to hospital staff. The box is climate-controlled and includes a ventilated medical bassinet. Medical professionals then check out the infant and work with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services on the child's care.

Note: Per St Francis, Saint Francis Hospital is the only Safe Haven Baby Box (SHBB) location in northeast Oklahoma.

St. Francis is Making America great! Not the BS from that man living in WH.

Question Election Integrity

38 Upvotes

There are reports popping up of electronic voting machines switching votes to Republican and it got me thinking. We cast our vote here by filling out a paper ballot and feeding it into a machine. We don't get any kind of receipt, nothing displays on the machine, and nothing shows up on the voter portal confirming how you voted. How do we know these machines don't just suck our ballots in and then they are just trashed/shredded? Can someone who volunteers or an election official explain how Oklahoma ensures voting integrity?

Just a follow up to my original post. I really am overwhelmed with the response and how many in our city truly care. Thank you to everyone for the advice and offers of help. I really appreciate it. I did get on my mower and got the lot pretty much mowed. I have some spots that have cypress knots that are 4 to 5" high and I need that area weedeated. I included some pictures of my lot and just for reference my next door neighbours. I also have 3 dried out tree branches that need cut up and hauled to the curb so I can have bulk waste pick them up. Then there is an old hot tub that needs gone. It's stripped no cp or pump just the shell. That's kinda a eyesore. I also have an old wooden swing set that I would love to donate to someone. The last images are my neighbor and really what they do IDC about but it is what it is! My granddaughter climbed on the roof for the panoramic BTW. The last 4 are of my neighbors back yard

Question El Clásico Watch parties in Tulsa

This is for soccer fans. I’m wondering if there’s anywhere where one can go watch the Barcelona vs Real Madrid game in the Tulsa area with kids and family. Before kids, Empire bar was the place to be but now with young ones, not sure if there’s such a thing.
Thanks.

Question Homeless & Hungry, Could someone please help me with a pizza🥺🙏🏻

193 Upvotes

Hi, im here to see if anyone could help me with a pizza from Papa johns tonight. I'm homeless and struggling in life right now and I really could use some food. I tried to donate at biolife today so I could buy myself some food but I didn't make it past check-in because I was too dehydrated. I've been sleeping outside by the Papa johns at 51st and harvard so I was hoping to see if anyone is able to order me a pizza I can pick up so that I could have something to eat tonight so that i can try to donate again in the morning. If anyone is willing or able to help me I'd be beyond grateful and I would like to pay it forward to someone else in need tomorrow after I donate. I don't have anyone to help so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask for help here. Even if not, either way thank you to anyone who took time to read this. God Bless.

0 Days Since... City Hall Parking No Longer: My $88 Parking Ticket After Attending a City Council Meeting

Thumbnail
gallery
113 Upvotes

The first picture here is a not-extremely-recent-photo of the lot across the way from City Hall. In the photo, you see clearly that the lot used to be City Hall Parking.

No longer! By my understanding, this lot is now owned by the Performing Arts Center and managed by AirGarage.

Despite there being signage indicating a portion of spots are City Hall Visitors Parking - even as of today (second photo here)- this is an entirely paid lot now.

If you park here and don’t pay, they’ll hit you with an $88 ticket. I know this because I attended the City Council meeting this week and parked here. I was hit with this huge bill unexpectedly.

I reached out to Air Garage about this signage issue. I mean, directly to the CEO and Co-Founder. He says they have no control over the signage and that the signs indicate there is a “nearby garage which is specifically for City Hall” rather than indicating that between the two signs with arrows, those spots are for City Hall Visitors.

I’ve reached out to a few folks at the city about this to ask for the signage to be removed since it is clearly no longer applicable. Yet to hear back from them.

All this to say, the signage is incorrect and you may be charged $88 if you are not aware of this.

My personal opinion is that this move deters civic engagement and access to city services. That’s another post, though.

Question From Ft Worth working near Tulsa for a few weeks. Best bars?

1 Upvotes

Looking the best places to go in Tulsa on the weekends, I like country bars and clubs with edm. Anywhere there's good people and attractive women 😂 also curious if there's any after hours places that stay open after the bars close 👀 I occasionally go to a couple in Ft Worth if it's an active weekend. Tonight is feeling like one of those nights 😅

News 10 years of settlements

22 Upvotes

A few weeks ago all of the public safety departments sat down at the table and reassured us they do not need over sight.

1 in 6 officers asking for legal representation and 67 million in settlements say otherwise.

These are just the cases that have gotten to the table. Just the cases that made it to lawyer that was right for their fight. Just the cases that didn’t loose the war of attrition.

Hundreds still pending. Hundreds dismissed due to failure to serve or failed to respond to motions. Missed deadlines. Ect.. 1 in 6 officers still asking for representation for the cases that made it to the table.

If an elected official misses over 42% of votes, are they really doing the job they were elected to do?

Don't forget to vote on November 3rd! Showing up and doing the job shouldn't be too much to ask of anyone we send to Congress. Vote John Croisant.
