89 Year Old WWII Veteran Beaten and Left for Dead Dies

Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Really? Telling me to shut the **** up went over my head? No I got that one just fine. But your rage as of late is very unusual; I mean this reminds me of days gone by. I think maybe you need to take it down a notch. There is nothing here to get that way over.

Agreed.

How many white kids beat an 88 year old black man to death yesterday?

How many white kids killed a black jogger because they were "bored"?

How many white women kidnapped a black 12 year old and tortured him to death with a BLOWTORCH? (Mona Nelson/Jonathan Foster)



How many white kids kidnapped a black couple and did THIS to them;

Newsom and Christian were carjacked at gunpoint in her parents' 2005 Toyota 4-Runner and brought back to the house on Chipman. Christopher Newsom was raped over and over again (semen was found in his anus) and sodomized with an unknown object. He was blindfolded, gagged, and bound at the hands and feet. After several nightmarish hours, Newsom was either walked barefoot or dragged out to the railroad tracks where he was shot in the back of the head execution-style. The assailants shot him two more times (in the back and in the neck). Then Newsom's corpse was doused with gasoline and lit on fire.

For Channon Christian, the torture was even worse. She suffered days of sexual abuse in the Chipman home. She was beaten mercilessly and raped numerous times, suffering excruciating injuries to her mouth, vagina, and anus. Forensic pathologists found that not only was Christian raped by her captors, but she had been penetrated with an object as well (possibly a chair leg, according to the Knox County Medical Examiner). In addition, examiners found that a chemical (likely bleach) had been poured down her throat and in her wounded genital areas — while she was still alive. The coroner reported that Christian was then tied up with torn strips of bedding, her head covered in a white garbage bag — and then the whole body stuffed in five larger trash bags before being thrown into a garbage can. Perhaps the most horrifying finding was that Christian was still alive at the time; her death came after the slow process of suffocation in that trash container.

Police are hunting for the gunman who shot and killed a former college volleyball player in St. Louis hours before she was scheduled to play in an alumni volleyball game.

Megan Boken, 23, a former all-state volleyball player from Illinois, was shot while sitting inside a white Volkswagen outside the apartment complex where she lived Saturday afternoon, Fox affiliate KTVI reported. Boken was in St. Louis to visit her alma mater, St. Louis University, and play in the annual alumni game.

Authorities are searching for the suspect, described by witnesses as a black male in his 20s, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10, according to the station.

Police said they believe the man opened the victim’s car door before firing shots from a handgun. Boken was reportedly struck in the neck and chest and later died at an area hospital.

Police are investigating after a well-known businessman was allegedly savagely beaten by a group of teenagers in New Haven.

The street shows no sign of the attack, but folks who saw it can’t forget it.

“Bleeding everywhere,” said New Haven resident Rhea Brown, “he had blood all over him and it was like everyone just came to his aid.”

It was 49-year-old Brooks Macquarrie lying in the street, part of family-owned New Haven Power Sports.

He was test driving a motor scooter he had just fixed, at the corner of Goffe and Orchard, when five to six teens apparently pulled him off, beating him before stealing the bike.

His head and ribs were fractured, his nose was broken, and those who work beside him are shocked and angry.

Here's a site with pictures of the white victims and pictures of the black criminals.
New Nation News - Black-on-White Crime


but no...race has nothing to do with it.....

That there has been major problems with the Black youth 'sub-culture' has not gone unnoticed but this is just piling on. Most Black crime involves youths, with Black people being the majority of the victims and they're as sick of it as everyone else. We need real solutions and less finger pointing.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

This is more than just a little shocking, this story is headline news even across the pond:



translation: American war hero (88) kicked to death by teens



translation: Delbert 'Shorty' Belton, an American war hero who survived the bloody battle of Okinawa in Japan during the second word war, has seen his life cut short in a most gruesome way: brutally kicked to death by two teens.

Belton was found Wednesday on the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge in Spokane, in the state of Washington. He visited the lodge 2 or 3 times a week to play pool. Yesterday Belton passed away in the hospital because of serious head wounds.

The police has no idea what the motives are for the deadly kicking death. "It looks like a random attack", according to statements to CNN made by a spokesperson of the police. "There is no indication that the victim knew his attackers".

translation: War hero (88) beaten to death by teens.

In the second world war, Delbert Belton was shot in the leg on a Japanese island, but he was able to survive the Battle of Okinawa. Now the 88 year old American veteran has been killed. Kicked to death by two teens in front of the bar where he loved to play pool.

Belton was found on the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge in Spokane. He had suffered serious injuries to his head. Yesterday the war hero passed away in the hospital.



translation: The police does not know the motive for the beating. "It seems a random attack", according to a spokesperson of the police in Spokane, a town in the north west of the United States, to CNN.

Last week, in the American state Oklahoma, a 23 year year old Australian baseball player was shot to death by teens. When asked about their motive for the crime, they stated that "they were bored and had nothing to do".

Too bad it isnt getting that kind of news coverage here in the US....where the guy was a war hero

Don't know what you're talking about. CNN has been broadcasting it non-stop all day, with interviews of his friends and family, his service in WW2 where he, as an 18 yr old soldier, was shot in battle, to the kindnesses he had always shown to others. A discussion clip about this case lasting 5-10 minutes of every hour.

Which is why I now know that one of the attackers is in custody, charged with robbery and murder, and they have the name and a headshot of the second attacker, which has been released to the press.

In fact, every major news network has been covering this story, and covering it widely.

So please, don't use that old "US media ignores black on white crime" kinnard. It's totally bogus here.

Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.[W:71]

You know, so many bad things happen, every day, that make me shake my head, and worry about the state of the world. But I have become desensitized to a lot, because it's just so common now, to hear bad news. This story, though - broke my heart. This guy survived World War II, only to be beaten to death in the parking lot, while waiting to escort a friend so she wouldn't have to walk alone. :(

Heinous acts of violence like this are why I'm all for keeping capital punishment on the table. It makes me sick.

No innocent person deserves what happened to him, and from all accounts I've seen he was a very decent human being and well liked by those who knew him. Nothing pisses me off more than cowards who beat on women, the elderly, children, or those who can't defend themselves and this made me want to vomit.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

This story is tragic and sickening.

The more and more this crap happens the more inclined I am in favor of implementing the Soviet Method on reprehensible filth such as this.
Ship 'em to a place like Siberia and let nature take them out? I'm good with that. :cool:
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

But in the end, this man's killers made personal choices for which they alone are responsible, as each one of us is. Regardless of how challenged their personal circumstances are, there was no reason to beat this 89-year old man to death.
The sick thing about it, and I love that you mentioned choices, is that no matter what punishments are implemented on those thugs, their choice bore the most consequence to the victim and those who knew and cared about him. Truly a shame.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

I don't understand why all the "non-racists" on either side have to turn these things into issues of race. Can't we just say a bunch of stupid criminals committed a crime and deserve to be punished?
This is how I always try to handle the facts of the case. There is a crime, a victim, and a perpetrator, everything else such as motive, opportunity, and method is relevant, but other factors such as race, sex, etc. are not unless those factors were a part of the motive. Justice is supposed to be blind, and equitable, so anything not relevant means nothing to me.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

This all happened here in my hometown. I have been to the place the vet was beaten and I would consider that a safe place. Am just surprized nobody happened to come up on them during the beating.
Both teens were 16 and one turned himself in.
The Spokane police don't put up with crap from anyone as the very next morning after this beating there was a car rage incident. Some knucklehead got in a collision with another vehicle and then he drove around and rammed into the vehicle again. The perp took off with a nearby parked squad car taking chase calling in backups. They cornered him in a parking lot where he started to ram the police cars . Four policemen answered that with gunshots killing the perp.
I am hoping the second teen in the beating has one of those encounters with the police here.

That wasnt what I was eluding to. My post has nothing to do with race or anything of the sort so please do NOT assume I insinuated anything regarding racial make-up of the crime.

Up until yesterday (mid day noonish Friday) this wasnt a blurb on the news media's radar...it happened Wednesday night. All day Thursday it was headlines all over the internet bloggers sites. It wasnt until the story picked up traction by the internet that the story was picked up by the main stream media...Friday afternoon.

International news groups were running the story Thursday but our media didnt pick up on it until Friday...a day after international media was already running with the story. It was all over Facebook Thursday.

It just wasnt important to the US media at the time.

Apparently they were too busy telling everyone Ben Aflac (sp?) was going to be the new Batman.

Violence is such an common problem in the US that something has to be extra special about a case to stand out. Sad but true. Just a beating with no fatality would not have made it big in the media except if race or extreme violence/disfigurement is not a factor in the case.

"piling on?" Really?

If any of those people had been relatives of yours I don't think you would be so dismissive.

Pointing out facts and truth isn't "piling on". If anything it's a warning.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

So where are Jackson, Sharpton and Obama on this? Why aren't they decrying the racism? Couldn't this guy have looked like Obama's son? After all he's half white?

I reckon there will be enough 'decriers' who look like David Duke piling in on this so it is covered... :peace

Your 'news' source, the New Nation is a white supremacist website.... you won't find anything about white on white or white on black crime in it.

Judging by the children the President does have, he'd be enrolled in a good prep school and filling out college apps and would probably be regarded as a nice, charming kid.

Those people pictured are dead. That's a fact.

Those negroes pictured killed them. That's a fact.

Blacks commit over HALF of ALL violent crime in the U.S. That's a fact.

Proven criminal statistics have nothing to do with "white supremacy". You're looking for a way to dodge the truth.

Why don't you post white on black crime rates with pictures of the criminals and victims? Go ahead. I'll wait.

So, anyone looking at this story as progressives like you looked at stories like the TM case, are just being racists eh...What a steaming pile of outrageous dung you post here. Progressives are little more than snotty, little children that whine, and get nasty when their narrative is in question....Peace my ass.

IF it has nothing to do with white supremacy then why the use of a white supremacist website?

(FYI it shows quite a few whites as criminals as well as white gays and a few Asians, justa GP hate website)

IF you went to a more honest place to look at the REAL facts-

84% of the white folks murdered in this country are done in by members of their own race- (DoJ pdf) that means 16% were killed by another race.

According to 1992 numbers 1 million whites were raped, robbed, killed, or assaulted by a black and 132,000 blacks had a white attacker. since blacks are roughly 13% of the population that seems to say it is a matter of availability not targeting.

2010 census shows north Carolina is 22% black and they commit 21.6% of the state's crimes. White alone is 71.9% and they commit 66.8% of the crimes.

According to the DoJ, 2002, interracial crime was 18% white on black.

While it can be a difficult concept to grasp but rather than say crime by race it is to see crime as a economic trend. Areas of high unemployment and low incomes trend toward crime.

It is interesting to me that so many tried to put three black men in the truck that murdered the white jogger in Duncan, Ok. when the REAL pictures of the three came out some in here tried REAL hard to claim the white kid either 'looked black' or 'looked like he has some black in him'. :roll:

I know some see the world as a simple black or white place, but it is a bit more complex than that.

I hope the wait wasn't too long....
