Father vs. son[]

This page seems to be confusing John David Keene, the father (and author of the Keene Act) with Joe Keene, the son (currently being seen in the HBO series). Both are Senators, so the confusion is understandable. But the two Keenes had somewhat different attitudes towards masks: Keene the elder's eponymous act outlawed masked vigilantes in 1977, whereas Keene the younger appears to have been behind the "Defense of Police Act" that put Tulsa's cops behind masks. (The latest entry in Peteypedia also suggests that Keene the elder, at least, was involved in a Klan-like organization, so there's that.)

Anyway, there should be two pages: one about the father, who was (I think) named only as "Senator Keene" in the original graphic novel, and one about the son, who is being played by James Work in the HBO series. —Josiah Rowe (talk) 06:01, November 4, 2019 (UTC)

It does sound like something to modify here on the wiki - especially right now, with the son having a significant role in the latest episode. And Peteypedia is giving us all the facts we need to know :) Thanks for mentioning this! Playsonic2 (talk) 09:02, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
I was definitely confused. Haha. Renamed the page to John David Keene. YazzyDream 23:42, November 4, 2019 (UTC)
