FORT LAUDERDALE – Young men armed with baseball bats or sticks attacked three homeless men, killing one and hospitalizing the two others early Thursday morning in the city's downtown and beachside areas, police said. One of the homeless men died from his injuries around 8 a.m. at Broward General Medical Center. He was identified later as Norris Gaynor, 45. The two other homeless men were listed as serious at the hospital. They were not immediately identified. The attacks occurred between 2 and 4 a.m. and involved two to four young white males, news partner NBC 6 reported. The attacks occurred at or near: * the Florida Atlantic University building downtown on East Las Olas Boulevard; * another several blocks to the west near the Broward Center for Performing Arts in the Himarshee Historical District on Southwest Second Street; * and the third, a homeless man who was sleeping, near the Church-by-the-Sea on Mayan Drive off the 17th Street Causeway. The fatal beating on Gaynor occurred on the 400 block of Southwest Second Street near the performing arts center. He was found by a friend, who called for help. Police said the attacks may be related, but they are not yet sure. Said Detective Kathy Collins, police spokeswoman: "It is a terrible thing that happened and they will be punished accordingly," noting that Gaynor's death will bring homicide charges against the attackers. Police released surveillance video of the attack at the FAU complex later in the morning. In the video, two young males are seen beating one of the homeless men with what appear to be bats. That victim survived the attack. If you recognize the males in the video, call Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

These kids will be found soon.
They need to crank up old Sparky for these animals.
Then, like all criminals, they will rat on the others... which is a good thing.
Yep, we have idiots and morons down here in South Florida. Apparently, we also have white trash.
It's crazy for kids
to attack homeless bums, but
it's also crazy
cities tolerate
homeless bums living on streets.
Many of these bums
get aggressive and
some attack and kill people.
It's possible that
someone the kids know
was attacked by a bum and
they're getting "payback."
The video footage of the taped beating being played by AOL says on several occasions that it was an "African-American" being beaten by "White Boys" without mercy. The announcer almost seems gleeful to state what is being shown in the film.
I note this is strangely absent whenever it is a black criminal attacking a white victim. If you don't hear details...that's the immediate tip-off.
Shouldn't it be standard reporting procedure to report the approximate age, approximate height, approximate weight, skin color, clothing, and distinguishing physical characteristics of criminals?
These violent dirtbag kids should receive the death penalty when caught. They've served notice upon society that they're not fit to live amongst the rest of us.
