National outcry follows beating death of WWII veteran


Kenan D. Adams-Kinard

The nation’s eyes have turned to Spokane and the two teenagers accused of murdering an 88-year-old World War II veteran.

Police say two 16-year-olds beat Delbert “Shorty” Belton to death Wednesday night after robbing him. One suspect, Demetrius Glenn, turned himself in and was arrested late Thursday night. The other, Kenan D. Adams-Kinard, remained at large Friday night.

“We hope Mr. Kinard or his family will do the right thing and surrender quickly without incident, and we can resolve this and bring closure to the family of the individual who lost his life,” police Chief Frank Straub said.

Both boys have a history of violent crime: Glenn has a conviction of fourth-degree assault, riot and eluding police capture, as well as two pending charges of malicious mischief and driving without a license. On June 26, Adams-Kinard was convicted of third-degree theft and fourth-degree assault.

Security officers with Spokane Public Schools helped identify the suspects. Adams-Kinard was a student at Lewis and Clark High School. Demetrius Glenn went to North Central and Bancroft but dropped out in February.

Both face charges of first-degree murder and first-degree robbery and will be tried as adults. Glenn is scheduled to make his first court appearance Monday afternoon.

He be one mad boy and a prime reason to expand the death penalty and streamline the carrying out of a death sentence.

The poor, 89-year-old gets wounded on Okinawa fighting the Japanese, then comes home for his reward at the hands of an evil murderous thug!

Is this what he fought for?

Amen to that!

“Shorty” Belton was a Patriot who fought and sacrificed for our nation and a person who worked hard through life.

May he RIP.

They are almost as fast with these excuses for black-against-white assaults as the FBI is with their 'no sign of terrorism' when Islamists commit crimes of violence.

Is that what is written in the police training manuals regarding such incidents?

Police Chief: Delbert Belton beating not racially motivated

A similar excuse was used for the 3 black kids who beat up the 13 year old white kid on a school bus recently.

By “serious jail time” do you mean working or sitting around in air conditioned stir learning from the older criminals?

I have decided to no long wait to prove I’m in danger, the law says if I feel my life is in danger. Being the subject of holderite thugs look of intent is good enough for me after Duncan, OK and now Spokane.

Let it begin.

But... Wait... Uh... Now let me get this straight. Are you telling me that the perpetrators aren’t Amish? Oh the sadness. They must be so misunderstood and oppressed. What we need is to create some nice outreach programs to reach out to these youth. Then we wouldn’t have these unfortunate problems. /sarc

It has everything to do with race. We are living in a Clockwork Orange world, where these kids have no reason to live, nothing to look forward to, little or no parental guidance, absent fathers, and are existential creations of our cruel welfare system, who can and do kill just for fun or for the hell of it. You can credit the Great Society for these aberrations of humanity. It will get worse. It reminds me of Camus book “The Stranger”, from 1942, where a man kills another man without any empathy or concern whatsoever because if life is meaningless, so are ethics, morality, right/wrong, etc. Life imitates art.

You’re being optimistic.

Within the black community, and to a growing extent within the Hispanic one, there are a couple generations that have been active taught race envy, suspicion, fearfulness and hatred.

The FBI interviewed every person Zimmerman knew his whole life - left no stone unturned - to assure the world it wasn't a hate crime.

That...is a great point and of course it's a guarantee the FBI are doing NOTHING in this case...orders from the top!

The FBI’s throwing their credibility away faster than the MSM... and that’s fast...

Maybe he hasn’t turned himself in yet because he was at the MLK rally.

Yes, he was the keynote speaker. He followed up MLK III's speech and continued the theme that skin color is a license to murder.

Hiya Joe

Yes he does and I’d bet he has a few hoodies but he won’t need them where he’s going.
