Street Fighters in Tulsa by: Philip Noh
TULSA, Oklahoma// A fight to settle the score between two very different social groups, The greasers and the socs has taken place in a vacant parking lot. Greasers are poor and while the socs are rich which are their main difference. A full on fist fight of about 40 suspects including two of the three heroes of Windrixville church fire, reported to be Ponyboy Curtis and Dallas Winston. The fighting began at 7:00 PM on the 5th of January. One of the groups arrived on foot while the other in four different vehicles. In the end the group who came in the four cars had run away and it seemed that the other group had won. During the fighting the police were called and rushed to the scene. Many of the people there were injured and the Windrixville heroes were escorted to the hospital by the police who came a bit later.

Two men were later identified as Darrel Curtis and Paul Holden, former friends and football stars. The two are big men and were the first to start off the fight. The two faced each other until one threw the first punch. The fight ended quickly and shouts of triumph could be heard from the parking lot. When the police arrived about twenty suspects remained and the names have been revealed as Sodapop Curtis, Steve Randel, Tim Shepard, Keith Mathews, and the Brumly brothers.
“How can friends and teammates fight each other. They have nothing to be fighting over accept for their own social status as one of them has money and the other doesn’t. How can money change us like this and force us to fight amongst each other.” says eye witness and nearby resident Thomas Moore.

Prior to the rumble, a man was killed and much controversy has been raised within this community. The man was named Bob Sheldon and belonged to one of the social groups. Some locals who know about it believe this may attribute to the cause of the fight. Also the two groups have a long history and are put into news for various reasons. The two groups get into lots of trouble whether it be destruction of personal property or attacking each other. An elderly man named Joe Barkly, an eyewitness of the scene said,”Something is wrong with this current generation.
Joe Barkly of Tulsa Oklahoma All they do is get into fights and cause problems and commotions. Why doesn’t the police stop them or arrest these hoodlums?”Complaints of loud noises and shouts were filed. Also the parents of the fighters are fighting amongst themselves as well. Many complaints from angry parents have gone out asking how their children have gotten involved in this and do not believe many current events and blame each other. The community demands that justice be brought upon these people. Many of the local residents say that these kids should be punished for their actions and they should be stopped from further actions like these.
