Spokane Cops Blame WWII Vet’s Death on ‘Fighting Back’, Says No ‘Racism’ Involved

Two teenage boys are charged in the bloody beating of Delbert Belton outside a Spokane, Washington ice skating rink and investigators are now suggesting the soldier—who took a bullet in the Battle of Okinawa—tried to stop the apparent robbery.

Police say that enraged the teens and turned their petty theft into full-blown murder as they continued to beat him into submission with ‘big, heavy flashlights.’

‘Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation,’ said Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub in a Monday press conference.

Just another garden variety robbery "gone wrong," eh, Chief?

So they had to cave in his skull with heavy flashlights and beat him to death because he refused to submit to their demands?

Typical cop reaction

I’m 64. Seriously considering carrying my Vietnam .45 1911 “open” to ward off feral urban rats.

FUBO

"liberal city"

Does it? In the 2012 election it favored both Romney for prez and the Republican candidate for governor of Washington.

With the feral yutes behaving badly these days, I don’t leave the house without at least a tactical knife and in some cases, a 9mm pistol although it’s illegal to do so in Kalifornia.

Surprisingly, Kalifornia has some liberal knife laws that I’m using to my advantage.

If these “yutes” think I’m an easy target, they are going to find out the hard way that I’m not.

Some lefty DA might have me locked-up, but I’ll take that over being beaten to death by some feral animals.
