A 91-year-old World War II veteran is recovering after police say his caretaker beat him with his oxygen tank.

The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports that 45-year-old Elena Erickson was charged Thursday with attempted murder for the May 15 beating of Michael Tristano.

While she’s incarcerated the judge should make her clean every War Memorial in the states.

She looks Russian or Ukrainian. Maybe an oxygen tank slammed on an old man’s noggin is how she used to ‘negotiate’ back in the old country. She worked for him ten years, and suddenly, becomes vicious. I guess suddenly.

He joined the US Army in 1951 after he was kicked out of Harvard for cheating. He served 21 months in the army, mostly in Paris, thanks to his father’s influence..

She has a strong facial resemblance to a pig. And acts like one. Send her along with her porcine buddies to slaughter.

Beat her with an oxygen tank until she lowers her eyebrows. They’re pure arrogance and defiance.
