Baton Rouge police arrest two teens in beating death

Baton Rouge police arrested two teens Tuesday accused in the fatal Feb. 1 attack of a 55-year-old Indiana native, a crime that might have been committed simply because the teens wanted to see who hit harder.

John Bannon, 1654 Clear Lake Lane, Baton Rouge, died Friday of injuries sustained when he fell onto the concrete sidewalk during the attack, fractured his skull and suffered a brain hemorrhage, according to the arrest warrant for Windall Lavel Herring.

Bannon’s death leaves his family wondering why a man they described as a compassionate and caring individual was targeted.

“You just want to know why, why him,” said Susan Smith, Bannon’s sister, who resides in Nashville, Tenn. on Wednesday afternoon, choking back tears. “Why him, of all people, (who) didn’t bother anybody.”

Police think the two teens, Herring, 19, and a 15-year-old whose name was not released, attacked Bannon in an attempted robbery, to see who could hit harder or possibly for another reason, police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely said.

Because he was white and unarmed.

You are correct sir. Does it seem almost like you can count on 1 finger, the number of days per year, that we do NOT hear about feral blacks attacking whites?

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

Have yet to hear any major talk show host or so called member of the GOPES (gop elite snobs) bring up this obvious connection to his abuse of the “Bully Pulpit”

“The teen has not been booked yet because he is recovering in a hospital after breaking his arm during a bad landing following a leap out of a second-story window while trying to elude police, McKneely said.”

I wonder what other reasons he had for fleeing?

Reverse the races and it would make the Zimmerman circus look small.

Can we assume the FBI is down there questioning all friends and relatives of the perps to make sure the monsters never said ‘hateful’ things about white people?

LOL - just kidding. There’s two standards to the law now. One standard for groups liberal elites favor - and a lower standard for groups they don’t favor.’

Eff you FBI... Eff you for moving from being the best in the world to being stooges for one political party.
