Stories like this infuriate me! :mad2:An 88 year old World War II Vet, was beaten to death before he was even able to get out of his car to meet some buddies at the Eagles hall and play some pool. From what I just heard on the radio, two black teens beat him to death with flashlights. They said his face was beaten so brutally, it was crushed in and the bleeding did not stop. I thank him for his service, I'm sad that he had to endure a viscous beating like this in his own country. He will rest in peace, and I hope these animals that did it to him rot in hell. http://www.humanevents.com/2013/08/...d-ww2-vet-beaten-to-death-by-black-teenagers/
 

I just read about that, too, and I do hope there is a Hell for monsters like that. I don't know what's wrong with this world, but it seems theres more and more people lacking a soul.

its things like this that make me think " an eye for an eye" is the way to go...
 
Cowardly vermin! What a sad, cruel end.

It's happening everywhere though, an old man was beaten up here recently too, but survived. Even an old woman was mugged and belted with her walking cane. I'm sure I read that a person in a wheelchair was mugged. What's in the head of those people?

One 84yo turned the tables on his attackers and beat them off instead which pretty much sums up the 'bravery' of the scum who pick the frail to attack.

Thanks for that story Di, nice to hear someone pull through with minor injuries...it so sad when the elderly become targets of these creeps.
 
These punks aren't learning anything from their parent(s) that is constructive at all anymore. They don't learn to respect others and their property, they don't learn any work ethics, they don't learn that every action has a consequence, they don't learn morals, they don't learn manners, they don't learn to provide for themselves, etc.

They have no guidelines in society and life at all, their parents are too busy looking for handouts themselves, making more babies, yacking on their cellphones or facebook, conning others out of money or favors...and the downward spiral continues. Now, if they just killed each other, that wouldn't be so bad, but why should caring, responsible, good citizens have to suffer...especially the ultimate offense of having their lives taken.

They don't need any city, state or government places for these kids to keep busy, those people who brought them into this world have to step up and do their jobs in raising them. There's 5 year olds walking around with a chip on their shoulder, and a gimme attitude. :mad:
 
When they were discussing this on the radio yesterday, I was driving in my car, and was getting teary-eyed...so sad, so senseless. :(
 
Thought of this man's murder as I was just now logging on and wondered if we would be talking about it. Follows the recent random shooting, in the back, of the Australian student while he was jogging in Colorado by three little turds who said they were bored. News reported the youngest bastard acted it like it was all a joke. Disturbing, disgusting, heartbreaking. Just another day in a hate-filled world.
 
It breaks my heart to hear about all these bashings of the elderly, what cowardly SOB's they are too gutless to attack someone who can defend themselves, it is getting to be a real concern so much so i am being very careful where i park my car nowadays for fear i will be attacked, we shouldn't have to live like this. And as for those mongrels that shot the Aussie basketballer they are the scum of the earth and don't deserve to be on this earth, i sincerely hope that the rest of their gang don't cause anymore heartache and the Police can deal with the lot of them before they start a riot.
 
After Vietnam, I was pretty hypervigilant. Beginning to think I want to ramp that up, again. Is it really paranoia when they are actually after you?

Stopped at a gas station the other night on the way home from work; about 0030. Nice couple also stopped and I said, "Nice to have your company." Guy smiled and nodded in agreement.
 
Been thinking about this a lot, and just don't know....are we the first generation, outside of wartime, to see this much violence toward the elderly and defenseless in our society??
To hear about robberies is one thing, but to beat and kill people because you're bored?? That would never have occurred to any one of us here; what has gone wrong??

I do believe it started way before our time, but I noticed changes in the '60's; tho when you have a child, you become more wary, I think. Somewhere along the line, it was decided there was no God, and even if there was some higher being, we didn't need him or it...we were much smarter than to be dependent on anything but ourselves.
The women's lib movement was meant to bring respect to women; better wages, more chances in life - but some of those of us who decided to stay home while our children were growing up, were looked down upon...we had no 'careers'; we were lazy, and dependent upon men for a living, and motherhood was not something to be desired.

Then, spanking your child was suddenly 'child abuse'. Didn't matter what they had done wrong, or that spanking was a last resort...it was abuse; always. Don't hurt them, or their feelings under any circumstance. They just changed the definition of 'discipline' to 'abuse'. Most of us were never guilty of that.
Wasn't many years afher that, when children could call the cops and report that they were being abused, and they were swooped up and moved elsewhere with strangers - sometimes to a much worse world than the one they left.

I've read that it only takes a generation or two, to completely turn things around, and indoctrinate society to a new way of thinking. I can't help but think this is what has been happening these past few decades...children have and will always push their limits, but with parents feeling so helpless to do anything, it seems kids just go their way with no guidelines whatsoever. Children need limits; they have to have a way to know right from wrong, and understand why they should respect others. I know that in my generation, many parents thought they should be friends with their children, not act as parents; that just didn't work.

Sorry I'm rambling...I just know that I was taught religion, respect, and the golden rule, most of all. I tried to bring up my daughter with those values, and I am immensely proud of how she's brought up her own children, and how they are turning out. It puzzles me no end how our society got so messed up, and backwards, and where the heck did common sense go in the meantime??? Doesn't everyone have a degree of common sense, or did that go out the window with the rest of it??
How can people not realize when they are being downright evil, and not recognize it, or even care??? This is what I mean when I say some people seem to have no soul.

Are there that many real sociopaths walking among us?? It's scary as hell, if that's true. Are they made, not born that way???
 
One thing that i have noticed here is out of about say 10 people that i may say something to, only about 3 will answer you WTF are they scared to get into a conversation thinking i have ulterior motives, if they only knew it is the only chance i get to speak to someone.
 
Ramble away Anne, sounds right to me.
Yes they're 'made' by PCness injudiciously applied. The 'baduns' were sorted out early in past times by a well placed boot in the backside but now they're given the impression that whatever they do is okay as they have 'rights' and don't require punishment, just councelling. Ever watch that stupid SuperNanny' show where some guru 'cures' outlaw kids in three easy steps and a naughty corner? Really? and how does that work for parents who don't happen to have an education in child psychology and aren't any smarter than their kids? ... but now I'm rambling.

Suffice to say I don't see religion as necessary, I had none and have never robbed a bank, but I do see discipline as necessary.
Better a momentary welt around the legs for misdemeanors when they're very young, than jail time later for never having learned the art of living in a civilized manner.
 
From what I have read, these kids were not just suddenly struck with the urge to kill the Australian man just because they were bored, as they at first said. They were actually thugs who had been in quite a bit of trouble with the police before,and belonged to a street gang. They had been watching this man, and planned the attack, and it was part of a gang initiation. They were actually supposed to kill two people, and they had to be white people, but they were arrested before they were able to kill anyone else, thank goodness.
I agree that we are living in a time where random violence seems to be rampant, and growing worse practically by the day.
I believe that there are several things that factor into this, and non-disciplined children is certainly a large factor.
Children are often left alone, and are not properly raised by their parents any more, in many cases. My ex-DIL came from a broken home, never knew her father, and he mother was an alcoholic who spent her time (and welfare check) in the tavern. Rosé said she was living on the streets of Spokane with her younger sister by the time she was 13, because it was worse at home, with her mom coming home with some drunk guy every night. By the time she met my Michael, she also had a new baby that she did not know how to care for.
Not only are children not raised properly, but many kids are on drugs practically from the time they start school, and are labeled hyperactive and put on Ritalin . All of the school shooters were on some kind of mind-altering drug, either Prozac, or a similar one.
There is more, but these, to me, are important reasons why some kids now are not growing up to be normal adults.
