You know, so many bad things happen, every day, that make me shake my head, and worry about the state of the world. But I have become desensitized to a lot, because it's just so common now, to hear bad news. This story, though - broke my heart. This guy survived World War II, only to be beaten to death in the parking lot, while waiting to escort a friend so she wouldn't have to walk alone.An 88-year-old wounded veteran of World War II died Thursday after he was brutally beaten, apparently at random, in the parking lot of his lodge in Spokane, Wash., authorities said.
Spokane police said they were seeking two suspects in the attack Wednesday night on Delbert "Shorty" Belton, a retired aluminum company worker who'd lived in the city for most of his life after he was discharged from the Army after the war. Belton died of his injuries Thursday morning, police said.

Apparently he was attacked by 2 thugs for no good reason. There is camera surveillance showing the 2 in the link you posted.

This story is tragic and sickening.
The more and more this crap happens the more inclined I am in favor of implementing the Soviet Method on reprehensible filth such as this.

Amerikaanse oorlogsheld (88) doodgeschopt door tieners
Delbert 'Shorty' Belton, een Amerikaanse oorlogsveteraan die de bloedige slag bij Okinawa in Japan tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog overleefde, is op een gruwelijke manier aan zijn eind gekomen: bruut doodgeschopt door twee tieners.
Belton werd woensdag op de parkeerplaats van Eagles Lodge in Spokane in de staat Washington gevonden. Hij kwam daar twee tot drie keer per week om te biljarten. Gisteren overleed Belton in het ziekenhuis aan de gevolgen van zwaar hoofdletsel.
De politie tast in het duister naar de motieven voor de dodelijke schoppartij. 'Het lijkt een willekeurige aanval te zijn', zegt een woordvoerder van de politie tegen CNN. 'Er is geen reden om aan te nemen dat hij zijn overvallers kende.'
Oorlogsheld (88) doodgeslagen door tieners
In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd Delbert Belton op een Japans eiland in zijn been geschoten, maar hij wist de Slag bij Okinawa te overleven. Nu is de 88-jarige Amerikaanse veteraan toch gedood. Doodgeschopt door twee tieners voor het café waar hij graag ging biljarten.
Belton werd woensdag op de parkeerplaats van Eagles Lodge in Spokane gevonden. Hij had zware verwondingen aan zijn hoofd. Gisteren overleed de oorlogsheld in het ziekenhuis.
De politie heeft geen motief voor de knokpartij. "Het lijkt een willekeurige aanval te zijn", zegt een woordvoerder van de politie in Spokane, een stad in het noordwesten van de Verenigde Staten, tegen CNN.
Vorige week werd in de Amerikaanse staat Oklahoma een 23-jarige Australische honkballer doodgeschoten door tieners. Als motief droegen zij aan 'dat ze zich verveelden en niks te doen hadden'.
I 100% agree with you that it is tracking and totally sickening.
And we know very little about crime in the USSR, but what we do know is that there was a lot of police/secret police on the streets. Since the USSR has gone the way of the dinosaur, crime in Russia is even worse than in the USA.
I think it is more a societal issue, the whole violence/drugs/gangs/poverty/hopelessness problem. Also the lack of social and police control will have aggravated this problem.
But in the end, this man's killers made personal choices for which they alone are responsible, as each one of us is. Regardless of how challenged their personal circumstances are, there was no reason to beat this 89-year old man to death.
I was not justifying the crime, I was saying that locking up people in soviet style jails does not solve anything. The reasons for crimes like this have to be addressed because by just jailing people inhumanely will not prevent crimes like this.
Are you saying It's inhumane to lock up people who commit murder? What do you suggest we do throw them a freakin party?

Slinking back into their dungeon.So where are Jackson, Sharpton and Obama on this? Why aren't they decrying the racism? Couldn't this guy have looked like Obama's son? After all he's half white?
This gentleman died in the hospital last night after being beat to death by two
black teenagers for no apparent reason. He survived the battle of Okinawa in WWII. Senseless. WWII vet, 88, brutally beaten to death in Spokane, Wash. - U.S. News
they are believed to be the two ... may not be ... but if they are, I hope the guards at the prison tell the veterans in the prison what they did ... I'm amazed by how much cowardice there is out there ...
Slinking back into their dungeon.
You know what everyone who is now trying to tie every black on white murder back to Trayvon, let it go. You are criticizing those guys for how they made it about race but now it always has to be or else. Why not be the bigger person and instead of sinking down, rise above. These guys will be found and no doubt sent to jail and justice will be served. Just because those idiots made it about race doesn't mean you have to. It's not like the cops were called and these guys were let go because they said it was self defense or am I missing something?
Being the bigger person doesn't work with the Left. Their objective is to win politically, by any means necessary.
