Three arrested in Detroit for attack on Army vet
Army veteran Adam Wagner came to the defense of a female clerk in a 7-Eleven in Detroit the other night when three thugs were hassling her. The thugs followed Wagner outside and started hassling him when they noticed military-related bumpersticker on his vehicle. From Stars & Stripes;
The suspects noticed military insignias on the victim’s car and then began to make insulting remarks about him and the U.S. military, Jedrusik said. They began punching and kicking him.
The attackers ran off. The victim followed them while trying to call police, but the attackers beat him up once more, knocking him to the ground, punching and kicking him again, said police.
“They beat the heck out of him,” Jedrusik said. “They beat him pretty bad.”
From Click on Detroit;
On Saturday, Westland police said the department made three arrests in the attack. Police said the public helped identify the three men who took part in the beating of a man who served his country in Afghanistan.
“The Westland Police Department would like to thank the public for their assistance in identifying these three subjects,” the department said.
Police said at this time the identities of the three arrested will not be released.

What did the old head rancher in “Hang “Em High” say when they wrongly accused Clint Eastwood?
“Hang Him!” That’s what I say for these three. Maybe a kindly Marshal like Ben Johnson will come along and cut ’em down and take them to the Judge for sentencing.
Good for the neighborhood to step up and help ID the dingleberries that attacked him. Maybe there’s some hope for Detroit after all.
LebbenB You make a good point. I did not really think about this implication until you mentioned it. It is after all, Detroit. Usually there would be a crowd of dozens standing around getting it all on their cell phones. But none would help. So there are some good folks everywhere you go. A ray of hope, is a good thing.
How did this take place in Detroit and nobody was shot?
4 duece mortar zeroed in on the 7-11 parking lot would have been a solution.
4-Deuce? You date yourself with that one, BV. A four-deuce firing HE VT would have taken care of the attackers. And the victim. And the 7-11.
Four duece? Dude, we went metric a loooong time ago! Catch up to 120mm (and better range, and accuracy)
All I know is that it worked great. Humping it was a toughie.
Why not find where they congregate and WP the place as soon as there’s plenty of them? HEY, it’s the thought that counts, ain’t it?
Sounds like a hate crime. Where are the FEDs? The hate crime stat has loosely crafted lang for such incidents.
In Eric Holder’s and Barack Obama’s America, it’s only a hate crime when a white man commits it.
So it seems.
Why won’t they release the names of the three suspects? Were they juveniles, or…?
I don’t believe in the term “Hate Crime.” Crime in itself is one hating society. So when the government pushes certain groups to be protected more than others under the “Hate Crime laws…it is discriminatory, redundant and just plain wrong.
Gutless turds who don’t have the brains or balls to serve attacking someone who did. Here’s hoping Bubba and Thor are pro-military and give the “yutes” a lesson in respect.
“Maybe there’s some hope for Detroit after all.”
No, there’s not. The attack occurred in Westland, some 16 miles from the public sewer called Detroit. I am waiting to hear where the thugs are from…
Westland is not Detroit, it is suburban Detroit
Adam Wagner needs to take the police chief in Detroit up on his advice and start carrying.
Glad he survived the experience and that the thugs were caught.
Bet your last dolla these three are “economically challenged yoots” and full-time students at the Obama Department of Wealth Redistribution (DoWR). I’d say they are black but someone might say I’m being ray ciss….
Greatest satisfaction I ever had was to see a goon bag snatcher make a run for it straight into the path of a cop car. 1 Broken leg and a lot of “black top road rash” along with 12 odd witness all liming up with smiles on their faces, and ONE Police man being thanked for reacting so quickly. I am a fan of Karma from here on in.
It’s a pity there wasn’t any recorded video of it happening, I’d pay money to watch something like that!
Well, the county prosecutor evidently discovered that things ain’t exactly quite the way that Wagner portrayed it:
“Prosecutor: Veteran instigated Westland fight; no charges for 3”
