Darren Blanchard came to a city council meeting to speak against a data center coming to his community. He went over the 3 minutes, as others did, and he got arrested. Are we living out 1984? @ChipPaul60 @AWexMarketing

@ForGodDogsUSA @TotalNewsTulsa Sorry Debra that’s what’s happening now. Why do you think all the old guard defense attorneys are supporting my opponent? They get exactly the soft plea deals for their repeat criminals they ask for. Wouldn’t want to have real accountability for crime.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

There’s a reason Steve Kunzweiler doesn’t want to talk about his record of prosecuting crime. His refusal to hold people accountable are the reason our community and our officers are unsafe. Vote McCarty for DA June 16 and support @TotalNewsTulsa #tulsa #crime

Oklahoma lawmakers sue over Glossip records request A current and former state lawmaker @JJ_Humphrey & claim Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler withheld records tied to Richard Glossip’s death penalty clemency proceedings https://t.co/eYs1HSqXVW

Do Tulsans think it’s ok that your elected DA colluded with DAs across the state to ensure an innocent man was executed? And now won’t release the records? @tulsatoday https://t.co/AnXTq1yK5t

[Justin Humphrey @JJ_Humphrey]

JJ explains his endorsement for Colleen McCarty, and how this isn't a democrat or republican issue, this is about helping kids who have been molested and protecting the citizens of Tulsa from the current corrupt DA

@LCauthan4174 @Okla_Hombre With a record like his, I understand you feeling like you need to lie for him to get reelected. But It’s this very lack of integrity that the voters will reject on June 16th.

These are AI. Hope that helps. 👌

@LCauthan4174 @Okla_Hombre false impressions regarding 5 or 10 dollar processing fees. Collectively, these actions demonstrate you and your candidate’s desperate, win at all costs strategy.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

@LCauthan4174 @Okla_Hombre candidates.Your actions regarding these donations have been deeply dishonest. You purposefully edited out the address and employer information in your previous posts in order to falsely attribute donations made by someone in Nevada to me. Now you manipulate the data to create

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

@LCauthan4174 @Okla_Hombre and you are still being deceptive. You know actblue is listed only because they received a processing fee for the other donations. They were not donations to act blue. But by presenting the data like this you want to create the appearance that I gave to multiple unnamed Democrat

@LCauthan4174 @Okla_Hombre Oh no - the Bernie ones are me. In 2016 I didn’t want Hillary to get the nomination. The screenshot I shared is the one you intentionally doctored from last week and got caught.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

@e_haints Hi - the Bernie ones are me from 2016. I didn’t want Hillary to get the nomination. You can see the screenshot I shared is not the same as the FEC website with the returns on my actual name.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

@Okla_Hombre @SmokeandGuns918 He pled to two counts of child neglect, misdemeanor manslaughter and a few other things. I don’t have time to do your research for you, Norm. Child neglect serves up to life.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

It was a great night supporting our first responders at @SmokeandGuns918!!

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

@Okla_Hombre @SmokeandGuns918 Probably would’ve not rec’d a five in five out on a case where the dude murdered his kid. Considering the max for two of the counts is life would’ve gone to 25 or potentially down to 20. Thanks for the question, Norm.

[McCartyforTulsaDA @McCartyforDA]

My opponent says I will be soft on crime while he is, in fact, the definition of soft on crime.

He says public safety depends on his experience. Well, this—the Elliott Binney case—is his experience at work. Experience doesn’t matter when it delivers atrocious results.

[Conservative Pen @ConservativePen]

This is going to be a little different than my normal stories I report on. Because it hits home, so please excuse my passion and anger.

In 2024, in Bixby, Shelby Binney’s life ended on a road she should have been safe on.

That night didn’t come out of nowhere. It was the result of a chain of decisions that never should have been made, starting with her father, Elliot Binney, getting behind the wheel intoxicated. He had just picked her up from cheer practice, with his wife and other children still in the car, while heavy rain poured down and visibility dropped to almost nothing.

And even in those conditions, he kept going.
At some point during that drive, while arguing with his wife and drinking straight from a bottle of vodka, he chose to pass traffic at high speeds on a rural road where passing wasn’t allowed. When the car hit standing water, he lost control. The vehicle rolled, and Shelby was ejected.

I don’t know if she died instantly, and as a mother, I pray that she did. The alternative is something I don’t even want to fully put into words. The thought of her lying there in the rain while the person who was supposed to protect her made the decision to run is something that will sit heavy with anyone who has ever loved a child.

Because he didn’t stay. He didn’t try to help. He left his injured family behind in that wrecked vehicle, and he left his daughter in the road.

He ran.

He made it to a family member’s house, took another vehicle, and was later found hours away from Bixby.

This wasn’t some isolated mistake that came out of nowhere. It was the result of behavior that had already shown itself before, except this time the outcome was irreversible.

Shelby wasn’t just a name in a report to me. She was part of our lives. She was my daughter’s friend when they were younger, and I coached her in youth cheer. Even as they grew up and went their own directions, Shelby was always spoken about with warmth. She was loved by our community.

Now she’s gone because of decisions that should have been stopped long before that night.

Elliot Binney was charged with first-degree manslaughter, leaving the scene of a fatal crash, two counts of child neglect, reckless driving, transporting an open container, and driving left of center. On top of that, there’s a documented history of reckless driving charges that were repeatedly dismissed.

It was overlooked over and over again. At some point, that’s negligence.

Yesterday, he was offered a plea deal that includes five years in custody, five years of probation, and a judicial review after just two years.

When you read that against what happened that night, it isn’t ok.
A child is dead, and a family is shattered. And we’re already talking about when he might be reviewed for release.

So the question isn’t just about one case. It’s about what this says on a larger scale for our county.

Why does someone with a clear pattern of dangerous behavior get handled this lightly after it escalates to a death?

Why is Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler comfortable signing off on a deal that leaves room for early review in a case like this?

And if, or when, that door opens again, and history repeats itself, who is held accountable for that decision?

Because it won’t be the one who made the deal.

Tulsa, this is where local decisions are so important. These aren’t abstract policies. They are real choices, made by real people, with real consequences.

Kunzweiler is up for re-election, and I’m not sure he deserves it.

If this case doesn’t sit right with you, then don’t let it fade into another story people forget.
