89 Year Old WWII Veteran Beaten and Left for Dead Dies

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

You might. Others, I'm not sure about. It depends on if you want to turn it into a race thing or not.

Couldnt resist playing the race card. Could you?
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Obviously I was being half-sarcastic, but this is the **** we had to listen to for over a ****ing year on the Martin story. So I think it's only fair that Obama come out on this, right?

In fact the NYT had to make an Hispanic "White" in the Zimmerman case in order to heighten tensions.

No one really wants to make things like this about 'race' but it's become impossible not to, especially with Sharpton, Jackson and Obama involving themselves in these issues. Others are expected to remain silent or it is thought to be poor form, but that attitude also seems condescending.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

You're just illustrating the hypocrisy on your side by doing that. If this victim was black, would those on the right notice it?

The entire country would notice it.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

The one alarming thing is reading the comments on this article from various citizens. There is apparently a huge backlash in process against the unequal way things are being dealt with.

An eye for an eye and the whole world is blind as one intelligent man once said. The sad part is the way the media and political parties provide the sticks for the poke-fest. Our society is falling apart.

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

It's a culture problem. The subculture that exists in the black community along with people making stupid excuses and apologies for this behavior.

Yes, a sub-culture for sure.

When we think of a bomb going off in a crowded area somewhere, an obvious terrorist attack, we can't help but think it's Muslims. And if some young people are killed on the streets of Chicago we tend to think they are young Black men. That's just the way it works.

We are often reminded that not all Muslims are terrorists but no such reminder is necessary for Black people. That 'sub-culture' is young Black men, we know it, and that's where we must focus our attention, If we make this about race only then the problems will just fester and continue. It's a huge problem and one that the entire country must work to change. Name calling doesn't cut it.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

That's why I put "white" in quotes. Never accuse the right of reading....

Funny, you refute my argument accusing you of agendizing, then you go and offer proof of the MO. I did misread part. and right of you to call it out. Don't go hang yourself then after you are acquitted!

There is no possible apology or excuse for crimes like this, one can only search for the reasons at best.

And sadly it is not just black or white where stupidity exists, I think it is more likely a inner city problem (especially with gangs etc.).

We don't need God, just more Progressive control. We'll be right as rain in no time. </tongue in cheek>

Blaming society is a stupid excuse. There way more poor people in this country that don't commit yhese crimes.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Black on white crime, no reason, no guns to blame, cant pin it on the NRA or the republicans failure to enact gun control? Yeah...he mad.

The poor victims in Oklahoma would never have shot that Aussie if A-he hadnt been jogging by and B-the city had done things to help their boredom and C-if it werent for the NRA and the evil republicans putting that gun in their hands, what with letting them buy that assault weapon without a background check and all.

The sad thing is...this isnt a freak occurrence and it didnt just suddenly start happening. At some point people may have to actually address a very real problem.

You left out institutionalized racism.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Well, maybe his grandfather, seeing as his father was Kenyan.



If the tables of this incident were turned, and it was an 88year old black WWII vet that had been attacked in that parking lot by two white teens, the calls of a racist attack would be deafening....And you know it.



No, outlets like MSNBC, and Al (race extortionist) Sharpton set the narrative that it was, and you bought into it.



GZ was acquitted, and no charges of a racial crime were brought. You are simply wrong on this.



Then he shouldn't be commenting on ANY of them...Can't pick and choose unless you are doing so for an agenda....

In the interest of accuracy, this gentleman looked exactly like Obama's grandpa.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

I don't think that this is about race. I think it's about two kids who are disgusting pieces of excrement.

Put 'em under the jail.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Poor old dude. I hope the waste of life trash that did this are sentenced to death or beaten to death in prison.

I did not blame it on society, but society/place in that society/gangs/poverty/drugs/violence/guns/lack of social control/lack of good mental health/etc. etc. are causes of crime. It does not determine crime or can be blamed for crime. Each person makes that choice for them personally and is subsequently to blame for his/her crimes of misdeeds.

You seem to have all the bases covered.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

When whoever did this heinous crime are caught, I pretty sure they will be punished. But is it escalating? Or are people just becoming more aware because of the media? This probably would have remained local news a few years ago. Now it seems almost everything that happens, instantly becomes national news.

I'm talking about the escalation in these criminals' behavior. I assume they didn't start off with murder.

I think it is a supply and demand thing. The viewing audience has a larger appetite for this kind of news right now because of the media frenzy surrounding the TM case.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

maybe, maybe not. The reasons for crime are many and varied. Apart from the once I have mentioned there is also alcohol abuse, gambling and we cannot forget the people who are just plain evil for no good reason whatsoever.

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.

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

Poor old dude. I hope the waste of life trash that did this are sentenced to death or beaten to death in prison.

Surely, you don't mean that last. Since they had robbed this poor soul, isn't their killing him a capital crime?

An innocent man is dead, and these guys have just ruined their own lives and broken the hearts of the people who love them. I hope justice is done. That should be enough.
 
Re: WWII Vet, 88, brutally beaten in Spokane, Wash.

Well, no. Making a point that went way over your head.

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.
