Is there just a malfunction among kids now a days? Who beats an old defenseless man (who protected this country) to death?
I just don't understand what they're achieving.

WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.
Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.
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.
“Shorty,” as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company’s Trentwood plant for more than 30 years. Belton’s wife passed away several years ago.
He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.

If they catch these teens they ought to throw them in a cage with the "we shot him because we were bored" sociopaths and a bunch of sharp objects and see who makes it to trial.

They need to bring back hard time.
Like, hey, there's a bunch of rocks, here's a sledgehammer. Break them up.
When you finish, we'll wheel in another boulder. For life.
14.5 hours a day.
20 minutes for breakfast, 20 for lunch, 20 for dinner. 10 minutes for shower, 20 minutes before sleep/lights out relax time. 8 hours for sleep.
You have the option to request firing squad at any time for death if rock breaking isn't your thing for the rest of your life.

What pieces of shit, they beat him in the face so badly with flashlights that he was bleeding everywhere. I read on another site that they arrested one of the kids who did it, a 16 year old, the other one is also 16 and still out there.

These are just kids too. What's going to happen when all these loose cannons get to their mid 20's when life really starts to suck? Just kill more people?
