Weleetka---Again

News reports say a house fire in Weleetka killed six people overnight. Four of the dead are children.

It wasn't long ago that two young girls were gunned down in Weleetka while walking along a country road. There was no attempted abduction; there was no sexual assault. The girls were simply assassinated. No one has been arrested.

Fires happen sometimes, for whatever reason. But sometimes fires happen because somebody wants them to happen. Fire investigators, according to reports, are still on the scene.

Weleetka is a pimple on a map. What are the odds that six kids in such a small town would die violent deaths in the space of a couple of years?

If this fire turns out to be a tragic accident, then so be it. But if there is anything funky about this fire, law enforcement needs to be paying a whole lot of attention to Weleetka, Oklahoma.
