Why? If you're going to rob somebody then rob them. you don't have to take their lives too. Especially if they're 87 years old. [b]Edit:[/b] So all they did was push him down? Not that it justifies anything.
Hope they get the absolute max. Period.
Disgusting.
heres a video of the man talking about his famous hot tamales [video=youtube;nGyFxkfxl8I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGyFxkfxl8I[/video]
Fuck man, so close to remembrance day too. Fuck people. They obviously have no respect for elders, or anyone for that matter.
And people say I'm crazy when I say we should enforce the death penalty.
Well to be fair, you do sound a little crazy
so i'm just curious, why is killing an old person considered worse than killing a normal-aged adult? I mean murder is bad of course but what makes this any worse than any other killing
[QUOTE=Judas;42670067]so i'm just curious, why is killing an old person considered worse than killing a normal-aged adult?

Not some random dude on the street. It's like beating up a little kid, pathetic and cowardly.
why would you even do that?

Whats this weird thing that some teens have with killing war veterans, this seems to pop up quite a bit.

I'm starting to feel that moral standards just aren't a thing the young people of today care most about anymore.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;42670119]Whats this weird thing that some teens have with killing war veterans, this seems to pop up quite a bit.[/QUOTE] I doubt they knew he was a war veteran. Just an old guy to them I expect.
[QUOTE=Fapplejack;42670007]And people say I'm crazy when I say we should enforce the death penalty.[/QUOTE] Well there certainly needs to be more examinations of ayone being sentenced to execution, as innocent people have been put to death.
the comments on this article are astounding [quote]HUFFPOST SUPER USER Common Sense Conservativ [sic] Neither 1% nor 99% - just 100% American 258 Fans 1 hour ago ( 2:03 AM) I am beginning to think that maybe the previous generations knew something we didn't know (or don't want to admit) and had some right ideas after all. All I know is that 60+ years ago, they didn't have headlines like this every other week. [/quote]
[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;42671575]Well there certainly needs to be more examinations of ayone being sentenced to execution, as innocent people have been put to death.[/QUOTE] Just modify the law to say that if you catch somebody in the act of committing certain crimes such as murder with the proper proof/witness statements, the only thing they're entitled to is a hanging. If somebody is beaten to death in public, whoever does that in my humble opinion abrogated any so-called human rights they had, nor are they entitled to be referred to as human beings anymore. And bleeding hearts who keep saying that 'hurr everybody deserves a chance' are in one of two categories: they're either people with a remarkably saintly life outlook, or just sheltered armchair paladins parrotting the views they were given without understanding their real outlook.
[I]Oh they're not going to hurt you. They just want your stuff.[/I] :downs:
Concealed carry just passed in my state.
Jesus christ. What the fuck?
This happened again? Atleast they finally caught the guys doing it.

This reminds me so much of this scene from Watchmen. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVeg78Yfp7g[/media] He went through so much, including fighting in a war and survived it all, only to be killed by a bunch of teenagers. :(
Pathetic and disgusting. There's no excuse at all for what they did. Mugging someone is one thing, but to mug an elderly man and beat him as well? That's just pitiful. I hope these selfish pricks are given maximum sentence. To steal money is one crime, but to take someone's life, especially a man who put his life on the line on behalf of his country, is something completely different. He survived a war for the safety of his country, he at least deserved a peaceful death instead of something like this. Rest in peace, old fellow.
Lock them up until they're as frail and elderly as the man they killed.
