91 Year Old Ocala Woman Beaten
Ocala Star Banner ^ | 6/20/2015 | Austin L Miller

Posted on 06/22/2015 8:15:18 AM PDT by happilymarriedmom

A 91-year-old Ocala woman was beaten by two suspects who broke into her residence early Saturday morning, according to the Ocala Police Department.

Ocala police said it appears the burglars entered the elderly woman’s northeast Ocala home through a back window shortly before 6 a.m. and, when she heard noises, she called out to see who was inside.

Authorities said the intruders confronted the homeowner and demanded cash from her. When she told them that she didn’t have any money, they beat her. Officials said the robbers then left the home, and it appears they left empty-handed.

Officers found the victim in a room. She was transported to a hospital, where as of Saturday evening she was expected to survive her injuries.

Police searched the area, and a Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit assisted in looking for suspects. They were unsuccessful in finding the persons responsible for the beating.

Officials only got a vague description of the suspects.

Police declined to release the victim’s name, the hospital she was taken to or the extent of her injuries.

A relative of the victim, contacted by the Star-Banner, declined comment.

Anyone with any information about this incident can call the Ocala Police Department at 369-7000. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP. Tipsters also can text to 274637, using keyword 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.

Very sorry to hear this was family. I hope she fully recovers. Back in the early 1980s, one of my distant relatives (great aunt) had her home invaded on Halloween, was very brutally raped and murdered by two black guys who were high on PCP and drunk. All of the typical defenses were offered: low IQ, poor family upbringing. One died in prison and the other is still there and comes up for parole every so often. He says he “found God” etc but was found with drugs only a few years ago. A real bad guy.

I would venture to say that anytime someone is shot in the head it is in an effort to kill them.

Prayer’s up for yinz and for her as well. People who do crap like this makes me want to restart the American Manned Space Program by giving the perps a one way trip to space.

My wife and I were in Ocala over the weekend, because we own property near there. Driving through the city on Hwy 40, we were stunned at how “homie” it’s become.

Very distressing situation. Hoping and praying that this dear woman survives in good health and good spirits.

I cannot imagine how terrified she must have been. Or how depraved the perps were to attack someone so obviously old and frail. Hope they are found soon and sent away for a very long time.

Vendome’s version of a just and proper punishment

And this doesn’t seem like enough but, here goes:

I would chain their hands and legs, then pull then up four flights of metal fire escape stairs, feet first.

Then I would kicked them in the family jewels just enough to cause a stomach ache every 15 minutes for 8 hours.

After that I would push them out a window letting them fall four stories into a pile of razor wire 5 rolls high and 5 rolls wide.

They could lay in the pile of razor wire for two days in the desert sun and then I would release a flock of crows and 1 gallon of scarabs right next to them.

But that’s just me.

Sorry, I meant in their 20s and 30s. Which would be back in the 1950s and 1960s.

How awful! We have a friend who lives near Ocala but she is younger. Her nic name is Snooks and she raises Jack Russel Terriers.

Prayers for this relative of yours.

"But that's just me."

I will assume you are well intentioned, but it just does no good to mollycoddle ruffians like them.

It does seem like the only groups of young men who rob and physically assault elderly women are black.

Must be a result of the racist, right-wing press.

well get over there and give auntie a pistol and show her how to use it- if it happens again I want to see two perforated perps.

Ocala is where, exactly? In the USA, presumably.

A reminder to our posters on FR - please identify the state when a town is listed that is not obvious to all readers. I am going to resort to a Google search to find out where this attack took place.

Thanks.
