WWII Vet beaten to death

[Bo Diddley]

This really burns me!

WWII Vet Delbert Benton was beaten to death in a parking lot in Spokane, Washington by two teens. No apparent motive. He was 88. I consider our WWII vets a national treasure. I just don't understand why anyone would do this.

Let;s play a fun game....guess the race of the teens that beat him!

This story is absolutely horrible. What a senseless and evil way for an American hero to die.

Read the article and you won't have to guess.

Let's not make this another thread about race. I'm just sick that something like this could happen to one of our quickly disappearing WWII veterans. They are an American treasure. He took a bullet in Okinawa, and dies a senseless death in a parking lot in America. We're headed down hill, folks.

Note Obama doesn't claim he could have been the hero.

Btw Va Coug wants to make the Lane murder about gun control. So is this beating about fisting?

A juvenile has been arrested. Give me 5 minutes with him.

If Obama had a son, he would look like those perps.

I think this is not the highground and only leads to divisions amongst us. Nobody is winning in this country as a result of the racial divisions.

I shouldn't have laughed, but I did.

No, we're not. You are less likely to die at the hands of another human being today than at any other time in the history of the world.

Drudge brought the publicity for this story. The problem with the Sharptons stirring the turds in the Travon Martin matter is that it then allows for the publicity of a story like this which is even more unsavory than the Martin case. There's a shitload of black on white crime that occurs in this country and some outlets seem prepared to spotlight it after what Sharpton did with that case.
