Teens beat Okinawa vet (UPDATED)

| August 23, 2013

I awoke to about twenty tips to this story this morning, so I’m guessing that you want to discuss it. An 89-year-old veteran who was wounded at the battle for Okinawa, Delbert Belton, was randomly beaten by two teens in a parking lot near Spokane, WA. From KXLY;

Witnesses say Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him as he was about to head inside to play pool.

Police responded with K-9s to track the suspects’ scent but were not able to locate them.

“It does appear random. He was in the parking lot, it appears he was assaulted in the parking lot and there was no indication that he would have known these people prior to the assault,” Spokane Police Major Crimes Detective Lieutenant Mark Griffiths said.

Belton died from his injuries Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

UPDATES: CNN says a suspect has been arrested;

A juvenile has been arrested by Spokane police in connection with the beating death of an 88-year-old World War II veteran this week, police said Friday.

The male suspect has been charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree murder.

@49: That shit just made my blood pressure skyrocket.

@49 That’s just one pathetic assh*le looking for attention. Every site has its trolls. Most people — of whatever color — will be angry and sad over this viciousness.

One has been picked up.

This article has some good stuff about Delbert ‘Shorty’ Belton. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/08/23/20145461-wwii-vet-88-brutally-beaten-to-death-in-spokane-wash?lite

I want to add that, when I see all the black-on-black crime in the south end of Chicago, especially when kids are shot playing in a park or putting their bikes away, or just sitting on their front steps, and the kids AND the shooters are both black, I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for any black criminals at all.

@42: Of course we would be just as angry, no matter what the color of the victim. However, what is being pointed out is the hypocrisy of the left and POTUS. He couldn’t get to the podium fast enough to make his thoughts known when it came to Skip Gates or Trayvon Martin, but doesn’t have the time of day when it’s not a white on black thing. His actions show exactly where his loyalties are.

@55: My comments are in agreement with yours, it is indeed because of obamao’s racial cherrypicking antics (alongside the likes of sharpton and jesse jackson and the racialist left) that we are where we are at this sorry hour…

They have one of the fuckers in custody, he is under 18 so no name released. Charged with 1st degree murder and robbery…
Guess it was because of the sequester and he had no after school program to keep him from being bored….

Roger in Republic

If these guys are under 18 they will most likely plead down to second degree homicide or manslaughter and locked up until they turn 21. Washington is infamous for slapping the wrists of teenage murderers.(Google Tuba man) I can only hope that they are tried as adults and not allowed to plead the charges down. The outcome of this savage act will depend on the size of the balls on the prosecutor. We need to keep up the pressure on the district attorney to do the right thing. We have a law that enhances any penalty on crimes against the elderly and this is a perfect time to use it. It makes me sick when these savages attack and kill old weak people. Cowards, gutless cowards. They need to be fed to the pigs, alive.

LostOnThemInterwebs

I’d say if they get to plea down and tried as minors the pictures and names should be released when they are 21 and leave, I’m sure there will be a lot of ppl wanting to have a nice long chat with them, some wall to wall counseling, etc.

It’s a good thing we don’t have a President and Civic Leaders who incite negative race relations.

Mmm 🙁 I guess my comment is in moderation 😛 but let’s try without the link, i read this on guardian of valor’s FB timeline:

UPDATE:

Prosecutors have said 16 Year old Demetrius Glenn, will be charged as an adult on counts of First Degree Murder and First Degree Robbery.

@62

As soon as that piece of shit walks into the courtroom the judge needs to shoot him. It shouldn’t be a lethal hit either.

He then needs to be dragged out of the courtroom, bleeding and pleading for his worthless life, and strung up by his feet outside. The town should then come together and extinguish the life from yet another “victim” of the “turn your life around” generation through the most righteous and vicious beating the country has ever seen.

Nothing besides that is justice. Make an example out of ’em.

I do not give a hoot in hell about the victim’s or perpetrators’ race. Those factors are irrelevant.

An 88-year-old World War II vet bothering no one and going about his business peacefully was beaten to death in an apparent random killing. He was beaten to death by a couple of young punks who were either bored or looking for an easy mark. If proven guilty, the perps deserve to be hanged; to visit “Old Sparky”; or to get the needle. That’s all you need to know regarding justice for this case. All else is irrelevant.

What I do find disgusting is the obvious double standard here on the part of the press, most “civil rights” advocates, and (apparently) on the part of current POTUS and his Administration as well. That is inexcusable.

Motherfarking JAMES WOODS is the MAN….

Calling for justice and backing up our veterans yet AGAIN!!!!

Ex-PH2

Leave out the WWII vet part.

If this were just an old man waiting for a friend out side an ice arena, and beaten to death by a couple of useless slugs, would you still be as angry?

I would.

And I see something more sinister here than any of you are seeing: the flash mobs early in the spring this year, last summer and the year before that, were all made up of black kids who were in it for no other reason than to cause trouble. It’s getting worse downtown in Chicago with people being robbed in broad daylight on Michigan Avenue, which is one place where most people feel safe.

What happened to Chris Lane and to Delbert Belton are just the tip of the iceberg. They may be random acts now, but the increase in shootings and violent crimes in neighborhoods like Englewood is picking up, and moving out of those neighborhoods into more ‘civilized’ areas, and fueled by instant messaging like Twitter. If anything, these two most recent murders are merely a warning of something else, and we should all be paying attention to it.

Even if it’s illegal, the good people need to be ready to react to defend themselves. The police aren’t able — for whatever reason — to control the gang/mob violence. It’s time for the people to stop being sheep and to start culling the wolves that are walking around on two feet.

LostOnThemInterwebs

People have managed to find his FB (Jonn feel free to remove the link if you think it might be offensive or not legal to have it here)

Of course he already managed to procreate *facepalm* and a do rag with the american flag, Grrrrrr anyway I’ll just stay out of this post after this it really does upset me more and more, guess my parents did teach me right when they said “it is an honor and your duty to even die to defend the weak”

’nuff said

MK75Gunner

What a shock…looked at the FB page, nothing but a little wannabe gangbanger with a bunch of pictures of himself trying to look “hard”. Oh and bonus, he has already spawned thereby guaranteeing another single mother raising a child on welfare who’s Dad is in prison. I would say I’m surprised but I’d be fooling no one here. Mostly just sick and tired of these fucking animals and the continued cycle of violence, (mostly) self inflicted poverty, joblessness, uneducated, welfare generation that the progressive movement, and all their policies, has inflicted upon us.

WW2 Vet, White, elderly,,, Waiting for Obama to say “That could have been my granfather”.. Which is a hell of a lot more true then comparing himself to Trayvon Martin.
Being the race-baiter he is our POTUS will never talk about this.

UpNorth

@72, the pResident’s spokesjerk didn’t know about Chris Lane, I’m sure he doesn’t know about this, and I’m sure he doesn’t know about David Santucci http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/08/another-white-man-david-santucci-shot-to-death-by-three-blacks-while-walking-to-his-car/#5dfyip11E3ss7xtz.01
So, what does that say about the pResident and his Regime, that they have no fucking clue about what is going on in the country he’s supposed to be leading?

Nik

You’ll never see the outrage on this one. Mr Benton had the poor taste to be born white.

Hack.Stone

If you go tot he link that LostOnThemInterwebs provided on post 70, all of his hoodie thug rats friends are spewing the same old tired and incoherent bullshit such as:

“U all should b ashamed of urselfs. U all are suppose to b adults. U are no more better than anyone else. Who the child now talkibg all that shyt the difference is these boys made a name for themselfs before this incident…so let the man above judge”

and “You guys too the time out of your day to make paragraphs about someone you don’t know PERSONALLY ! None of you guys knew him so stfu. At the end of the day Yea We ALL know he was wrong , You guys can’t judge him nor anyone else . All of you are grown or near that time & your going off on a 16 year old . This is hella sad you guys are hella ignorant !! Not that you guys posted his Facebook link .tf they do that at ?”

And they are also attacking the granddaughter of Mr. Belton. Real class act.

I have a multi-racial extended family. So I’m well aware that the culture, upbringing, and standards (or lack thereof) are what is responsible, not the skin color. But damned if some of the so-called “black leaders” make it real hard for me to give a shit about what happens to these little fuckstains, as well as the culture/system that spawned and perpetuates them.

OWB

Not quite sure how anyone could expect a positive result from a government subsidized breeding program of the least productive among us. This is what we get after multiple generations of rewarding negative behavior while giving no real life skills to the resulting offspring of that behavior.

Rather than excusing ignorance by labeling as racist all who question such destructive programs as welfare, how’s about taking a serious look at the statistics and trends which lead to an inescapable conclusion that the “war on poverty” has failed? Human nature really has not changed all that much in the past 50 years or so. We all need to be productive but need parents and mentors to train how to do it.

And the second idiot was arrested, and is also charged with First Degree Murder and First Robbery.

And of course, it was declared officially to NOT be racially motivated. Not that I really care, but why does it even need to be said??

For what it’s worth, the quotes from him and his family show a much better upbringing than the usual garbage we hear from criminals and their families.
