Police Need Your Help In Capturing Beating Suspects--Urban Youths Beat Up Iraq Vets
KOMO TV ^ | 8/24/05 | John Sharify

SEATTLE - Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square. But believe it or not, someone caught the beating on videotape. Now, police are asking for your help identifying the suspects.

The brutality of it all was captured on tape outside of Larry's Nightclub on First and Yesler on July 31.

Police say the victims were with two women who'd been groped by the suspects. One of the women threw a hot dog at the suspects and walked away.

They didn't get very far. The three suspects ran after them and began attacking the two men -- two soldiers who'd come home from the war.

The graphic videotape shows both victims getting beaten over and over again, and then after one of the victims loses consciousness, a suspect starts stomping on his head.

Now police want your help in catching these guys.

"We consider them very dangerous," said Seattle Police Officer Sean Whitcomb.

After not getting any leads, Seattle police have just released this tape to the media even though it happened over three weeks ago.

If you know who these suspects are, or have any information in the case, you're asked to call Seattle Police.

Both victims suffered broken jaws, while one suffered a broken arm and both had other broken bones and several bruises.

I'm sure you didn't because the last two threads were pulled because really nasty flame wars broke out.  Just as this one probably will.  At least we can maybe watch and figure out who's flipping out and for what reason.  <Hand on chin time>

This is disgraceful. But look at the jive turkeys on the tape. Beating up people for them is probably like a varsity sport. Scum.

It was posted earlier, but yanked due to inter-freeper sniping!

If this one pans out anything like the last two, it could get very interesting...

Okay...perhaps if people can keep it reasonable then maybe something good comes of it.

What were people getting on each other about?

I believe these miscreants should be brought to justice.

Is that tame enough to keep the thread alive?

They should get life, but will probably be out in a year or less.

this is a healthy expression of angst against the oppressors by the oppressed

Calling each other racists and closet liberals, to my recollection.

I had two (2) weeks of annual training in Ft. Lewis this AUG. I just returned. I spent five (5) days of leave in Seattle to enjoy the beautiful weather this time of year.

I have a friend there that is a Seattle cop and he told me that even though the black population of Seattle is only 12.5-13% of the entire metropolitan population, that the black population commits 87% of all violent crime...and that is based on 2004 figures.

I hope they catch these bastards.

Go figure. Glad WA is a CCW state, I would have had to shoot the dumb bastards and use the "disparity of force" self-defense arguement.

Anyways, I was in Army PT uniform for 5 days and even the liberals said, "Thanks for your service". I was in no way accosted or harrassed in this very liberal town.

Nice tagline...

Reminds me of the Beefcake 6000 episode of South Park.

intra-freeping sniping ...

There was that one poster who was being really hard on himself.

Okay...perhaps if people can keep it reasonable then maybe something good comes of it.

The one before this had just such a request.  Didn't work out.  It got pulled before I could get much a read on who was saying what.
