Matt, We (USA) are the world's police force, doncha know. They (syrian govt) used chemical weapons on rebel forces. So we (USA - Good guys) is gonna bomb them (Syrian govt forces - Bad Guys) this will help??? the rebels and spank the baddies. Thus we (USA) win the world's love and affection, doncha know!
 
Before we play world cop, we should get our own house in order first...

Sad part about the Syrian rebels, is that they are (for the most part) a composite force of foreign nationals, much like the insurgents in Iraq. Add to that mix, is several competing factions who's only common bond, is fighting Assad's forces.

So in the event that Assad's forces are defeated, you'll end up with a power grab by these factions much like happened in Afghanistan.

Nothing but a huge Dog and Pony show...
 
Sorry for diversion. Back on track. My fault. I see further discussion will spiral into a political debate. My bad.

I didn't realize these two aholes beat this vet with flashlights and that he died from blood loss stuffed in between the seats of his car. What was this 88yo vet doin' sitting in his car? He was waiting for a female friend so he could escort her home, as she was afraid to walk home alone.

Matt, none of that has made it this far east. If they used flashlights there should be physical evidence. Last I heard their lawyer stated there was nothing to connect them to the beating except the video showing them in the parking lot

Wow, does this not at least warrant an investigation ?

After reading the article, I think the race card is at play here If we are going to be fair, if we switched the colors around, this would be head line news would it not?

Yeah he also said that before he found out the forensic evidence has their fingerprints and prior to the DNA test results. While not hard and fast evidence I found this comment interesting from an old news article, when they have plead guilty to only hitting him three times with their fists.

Police: Arrest Made In Beating Death Of 88-Year-Old WWII Vet « CBS Seattle

"Belton was found by police with serious head injuries and died in the hospital Thursday.

Belton's daughter-in-law tells KREM-TV that the suspects beat him with flashlights.

"They used those great big heavy flashlights," Bobbie Belton said. "The doctors said he was bleeding from all parts of his face.""
 
It's heartbreaking to see that this man fought through some of the most terrifying battles in the Pacific and survived, only to be killed by people of his own country. I can't call them men. Even though they were young adults, spineless cowards cannot be considered men..
 
Why not let other veterans deal with these lowlifes? I'm pretty sure that they'd be more than happy to please and we'd save of court costs etc., etc....

Senseless, not to mention ironic: He endures one of the most violent battles of WWII and gets killed by a pair of morons who might not even know where Iwo Jima is on a map (It's almost perfectly south of Tokyo).
