Afghanistan veteran victim of DC lawlessness
Patrick Casey, a veteran of the War in Afghanistan was murdered on the streets of Washington DC this week while trying to prevent an altercation. Sucker-punched by a punk-ass back-biting weasel says the Washington Post;
Patrick Casey was out with friends Thursday night. He and others jumped into a cab and went to the 1900 block of M Street NW early Friday to meet other friends, Gail and Paul Casey said a witness told them.
Three people who they didn’t know were harassing people inside a fast-food restaurant and “turned their attention” to Casey and his female friend, Gail Casey said. Outside the restaurant, the woman was pushed. Casey, 6-foot-4 and 280 pounds, tried to defuse the situation by standing in between the two groups.
“At that point, somebody sucker-punches Pat .?.?. and he went back and fell and hit his side and he went down” on the sidewalk, Gail Casey said.
Casey suffered a severe laceration to the back of his head, according to a D.C. police report.
After four days, Patrick David Casey, of Clifton Park, N.Y., was declared dead at 2:38 p.m. Tuesday, his mother said.
Of course, the useless-ass DC Metro cops won’t begin investigating until they get word from the autopsy – is no wonder that most murders in DC go unsolved?
Luckily, there’s video of the altercation, so there’ll be lots of parents who can go television and tell the TV cameras that “My son didn’t do nuthin'”.

Rest in peace, Patrick.
It looks like it was other students that were involved. So typical of ‘fights’ these days, cowards using a sucker punch when things seem calm.
R.I.P.
Thanks for the link, AP. It was a tough read. Very tough.
He was an Adirondack Patriot in his own right. Grew up directly on the other side of Mohawk River where I live. Took the oath to defend with his life the greatest nation on the earth, a self-made man who could be as tough as he was smart, as accomplished in civilian life as he was in military life. I’ve known many distinguished Adirondack Patriots, and Patrick certainly was one.
I’m guessing that his funeral will be well attended. Lights on.
Rest In Peace Patrick Casey, the world is a darker place without you in it. Our loss is heaven’s gain. May justice rain down on the one that took you from us.
