Police are looking for several men who severely beat a highly-respected army captain and Purple Heart recipient outside a restaurant on the Country Club Plaza.
Relatives say the 37-year-old Purple Heart recipient is lucky he survived the attack that happened late Friday night outside the Zocalo Mexican Restaurant.
"Hes confused. He's angry. He doesn't understand. He doesn't know why this happened," said the victims cousin, who asked to remain anonymous. It's very hard for him but all he can say is Im lucky to be here."
He says that night his cousin and two friends from Fort Leavenworth went to the restaurant for drinks.
Family members say while inside the restaurant the victim apparently bumped into a man he didn't know. A man, FOX 4 is told, restaurant managers asked to leave after he became hostile.
"Some words were exchanged. My cousin tried to defuse the situation and tried to walk away," said the family member of the victim.
Friends say the army captain apologized, but minutes later witnesses say when the soldier stepped outside where at least eight other guys repeatedly kicked him, punched him and knocked him unconscious.
"They were repeatedly kicking and punching him, there's no other intent but to kill. It's horrible," recalled the victim's brother.
Relatives say the victim suffered multiple facial fractures, massive swelling and his nose had to be reconstructed.
"It really is a miracle that my brother survived that attack. He now has more than two dozen metal plates in his face and forehead and I have no doubt he could've died and they didn't care," added the army captain's brother.
Police say after the violent crime all of the attackers hopped into a white vehicle and sped off.

Exactly.
Eight other “guys”? No description. Which historically has meant...
The car was white
That’s all you need to know
I notice the article reported the vehicle as “white”....
Open bar eh?
Drinks all around for the troops at ft Leavenworth!
That's a subtle attempt to shift some of the blame onto the victim.
One of the men with the primary aggressor had an open tab at the bar and had left his debit card behind. Police have that person's name, but that still hasn't led to any arrests.
They have the one of the perp's credit card and no arrests have been made yet?
"It should be noted that all the involved parties were heavily intoxicated," according to the police report.
What? The police make excuses by strongly pointing out that everybody was "heavily intoxicated"?
No doubt the authorities don't want to be racist, dontcha know? It's somebody else's fault - probably the "heavily intoxicated" white aggressor, er, victim whose face was purposely smashed to bits, an eye destroyed, and his life ruined because he "bumped" a black. Can't have that now, can we...?
Meanwhile, let's go back to endlessly condemning the racist society that picks on 13 year old budding Muslim scientists brilliantly making fake bombs, er, home built radios and planting them in the school hallway.
I was pretty sure it was not
Amish but was a local FOX report. Too bad they went all squishish
Just think if it had been white on black. Media would have interrupted their 24 hr a day blow job on the pope for that story
Vote for Trump. He’ll back the Cops that go after these savages to the hilt.
You’re sarcastic, but you’re also right. An armed white who’s set upon by a murderous mob of “unarmed” blacks has a terrible choice: 1) curl up in a fetal position and take it, hoping to survive with not too horrible injuries and a remaining life or 2) resist with lethal force, survive physically unhurt, but have terrorists destroy the rest of his life, as with George Zimmerman and Daren Wilson. My solution is to avoid all situations where I might come into adverse contact with young black males; indeed, to view them as murder and mayhem waiting to happen.
Nah, the Plaza isn't that bad. The Plaza Art Fair was this weekend and it attracts all kinds.
We saw, more than a few suspicious Characters, especially when we had to leave The Plaza proper to reach our cars.
We had to park in a Yuppie Neighborhood that is dangerous after dark.
From the numerous stories I've read about these types of incidents over the last fifteen years or so (always blacks attacking outnumbered whites), curling up is not a very good option unless you're unarmed. The assailants deliberately go for the head and always succeed.
If a person has a gun, the best option is to first display the gun and threaten to shoot. I believe most of the scum would run at the sight of a gun. If they proceed forward, the would be victim should then start shooting. I'll bet the hyenas would definitely run after that.
You're right, nothing good can happen as a result of an encounter with the protected species Homo Africanus-Mufuggas.
That was back in the 1950s. Must still resonate as the post was pulled.
Let me rephrase it..When several kids ganged up and beat up on one kid, the others would shame them by chanting...
“Three against One is ****** fun!”
I don't know about that. Running a tab and leaving a debit card to cover it doesn't sound like typical thug behavior.
I’m sure that being in a group helped, but some areas are simply too likely to be a danger than others. Still, it is your right to take chances. We’re all different, and a life lived too safely can be a prison to some.
Sons of Obama.

Some thugs have debit/credit cards. There is no video of the incident that the cops could release to help identify the full range of attackers? Or perhaps that is slipping over into the evolving prohibitions of political correctness.
In any case, I don’t like it when any of my Army patriots are ganged up on...regardless of color. I’d like to see all the perps nailed with harsh sentences since this is clearly, IMHO, attempted murder.
I'm certainly not justifying the attack, and agree with you that when the suspects are arrested then they should be charged with the most severe offenses possible. I just don't like seeing people jumping to conclusions.
