runner-up, ricky flowers, address not given who led police in ohio on a high-speed chase where he was wanted for failing to signal. it ended at garfield heights ohio, with mr. flowers ditching the car and scaling a fence. unfortunately, the fence was outside the ohio northeast prerelease center for women. when he landed back on the ground he was inside a prison yard surrounded by correction officers. our winner, oklahoma state senator russell, that body passed his horrific bigoted bill designed to reduce protections for gays by allowing oklahoma law enforcement agencies to ignore the definition of hate crimes passed by the u.s. congress a year ago in the matthew shepard act. on the grounds that it denied oklahoma churches the right to preach against homosexuality. the oklahoma bill permits prosecutors ignore title 18, u.s. code section 245, except the protections for gays are not in title 18 section 245 but 249.
