A soldier from Corona is fighting for his life following an attack by six men outside a bar in Tacoma, Washington.

Korry McClanahan, 25, is in ICU at the Madigan Army Medical Center and unresponsive, says his family. He’s not speaking or moving.

His mother is even unsure if he knows she is there.

Last Friday, McClanahan and another soldier went to the Steel Creek American Whiskey Company in downtown Tacoma to shoot some pool.

Around midnight, the two men went outside to smoke

... McClanahan was punched twice, fell to the ground and hit his head. He spent more than 17 hours in surgery to stem a brain injury.

Crystal Cruz, reporting for CBS2, spoke to McClanahan’s distraught grandparents.

“He’s just an all-American boy, what can I say,” said his grandfather, Jim Wilson.

Over Memorial Day weekend, McClanahan’s grandparents, who helped raise him in Corona, got a phone call saying something bad happened to their grandson.

“I can’t imagine how they can beat him up like they did an just go and leave him for dead,” said Carolyn Wilson, his grandmother.

Lots of Russian thugs in the NW. Many are overstaying visa and are part of Russian mafia.

Just east of Seattle, we have a large expatriate Russian community.

Mostly from Ukraine and Moldova and Romania.

I've never heard about any serious cross cultural violence before.

But a lot of the young Russian guys often look and act tough, and a Russian I used to work with said that many of them join boxing and wrestling clubs and hang out in groups.

Had a similar issue in Key West with cubans back in the early seventies.

“Dungaree Liberty” resulted in about 400 sailors walking into town in work uniforms and breaking or beating anything in sight.

My son who manges a service center says all the folks, white, Hispanic, black Asian, are good folks, polite and friendly, but he hates the Russsins, Ukranians etc., who are rude and basic A holes.
