(Stillwater, Okla.) — In a remarkably rapid verdict, a Payne County jury took only 35 minutes to convict a man, who considers himself a sovereign citizen and represented himself at his trial last week, of child stealing, possessing guns illegally, and obstructing an officer in rural Stillwater.
I’ve never heard of child stealing is this different than kidnapping or an Oklahoma name thing? Like Counties are called Parishes in Louisiana
I’m annoyed they didn’t use “Child rustling”
Would it still be rustling on the east coast or just in the west?
Oklahoma is more west than east
Well yeah I’m saying would it still be called rustling in the east or would it only be called rustling in the west, like Oklahoma.
It is against the parent, instead of a stranger
Thanks for clarifying, kinda miss not knowing.
Doesn’t the word “abduction” make more sense, or am I over-estimating the vocabulary of the target audience for that headline?
It’s only abduction if a spaceship is involved.
Otherwise it’s just sparkling kidnapping.

I think they are the same thing.
