[quote]DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say they’ve arrested three young men after they beat up a disabled Navy veteran who told them to stop torturing a turtle at a central Florida apartment complex.

The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports that 45-year-old Garry Blough was attacked Tuesday afternoon. He says his wife had told him three people were outside smashing a fresh water turtle to the ground and kicking it. Blough says he went outside and told them to stop and then told his wife to call the police.

An arrest report says the suspects, ages 23, 18 and 16, punched Blough and then kicked him while he was on the ground. Paramedics said Blough suffered shattered skull and facial bones, a concussion and a severely injured eye.[/quote]

Fucking pricks. Don't know what is NSFW about the article though.

[Archangel125]

Serial killers in the making, eh?

[😹 WHO DID THIS]

Lowlife cunts.

was the turtle okay?

Shoot them and be done with it. They're worthless. Don't torture helpless animals, don't hurt innocent people-- especially when they're trying to stop you from doing something wrong. There's got to be harsher consequences for people that do shit like this.

The news article says they were charged with intentionally causing cruel death so no :(

How is that not attempted murder at this point

[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;51839410]was the turtle okay?[/QUOTE]

They were picking it up above their heads and spiking it head-first into the pavement and kicking the hell out of it. When the police found it, it was dead in the pond in a pool of its own blood, having been able to crawl away by the intervention but then having died of its injuries.

That elaborated on, throw the ones responsible into the general population and let things sort themselves out.

[jimbobjoe1234]

Fucking disgusting. How would they like if someone beat the shit out of them? They deserve to rot in prison with no chance of seeing sunlight again.

[Dr. Kyuros]

Animal abuse [I]and[/I] aggravated assault against a senior citizen who's disabled, in the same setting no less?

Total cunts, no question.

[kill3r]

I will never understand what drives a human being to animal abuse, how can you attack something that is simply minding it's own business and not trying to harm you or having any impact on you whatsoever

Especially to go as far as to torture animals..

This makes it even worse because some turtle species in Florida are endangered. Fucking scum.

[Kirbunny]

I hate nothing more than people who willingly hurt animals. Vile filth. I just want to hold the turtle and make it feel better, but I can't because these monsters killed it for no good reason.

[Mr. Sarcastic]

Fucking degenerates that's just savage.

[Dookas]

No you see these people were just defending themselves from the terrible turtle menace who did literally nothing to them, /s. Fuck these scumbags I hope they rot away

[goldhammah]

I like how some people seem to care more about the turtle than the old guy (not that the turtle dying was terrible, but still).

it takes a certain kind of asshole to intentionally harm a much lesser creature for no valid reason

You can care about both.

Same reason that attacking babies and children is seen as worse than attacking adults. You're attacking something that is completely defenseless.

People understand why the victim was attacked. It's fucked up obviously, but they can understand human violence. I think people have trouble grappling with the concept of just picking up an animal and killing it like that. It's just so alien.

[Agni_Kai]

It actually makes me sad knowing people like this get to live in the same world as everyone I know and love.
