Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater decided to "get-tough" and charge some of the protesters with terrorism, rioting, and assault as a way to stop future riots.

Posted by Mary Chastain on September 26, 2017 11 Comments

"Coaches at some of the nation's top programs soliciting and accepting cash bribes. Managers and financial advisers circling blue-chip prospects like coyotes. And employees of one of the world's largest sportswear companies secretly funneling cash to the families of high school recruits."
