How COULD they? Shocking moment Texas man and his friend head-stomp and beat frail Alzheimer's sufferer, 67, who got confused and mistook their car for his daughter's

Frightening footage shows the moment a 67-year-old man was brutally accosted in a Houston parking lot after getting confused and mistaking his attackers' car for his daughter's.

The victim attacked in the clip has since been identified as Florentino Hurtado, who relatives said was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer's two years ago.

The men seen carrying out the beating - which happened Saturday outside a local meat market - are believed to be Trayvion Lockridge and Derodric Stephens, who are both in police custody following the assault.

The pair - allegedly seen bombarding the senior with blows before stomping him to the ground - are being held on charges of aggravated robbery of a victim over the age of 65.

The state first asked Lockridge's bond be set at $1million, but the defense countered with a request for $3,000. The amount, in turn, was set to $50,000, after cops aired their belief Lockridge punched Hurtado eight times and stomped him at least four.

Scroll down for video:

Stephens' bond, meanwhile, has not been set, as prosecutors said he has five pending cases in addition to the new charge. The allegation, more serious than regular aggravated robbery, carries a max penalty of 99 years in prison.

As Hurtado recovers from a broken cheekbone, numerous cuts that required stitches, and a possible traumatic brain injury, his daughter Jessica on Thursday described how she believes the attack transpired.

'My dad, you can see him stumble up and get up, and you could tell he was obviously confused and dazed as well, and he started wandering towards the pawnshop,' Jessica told KTRK, narrating the now widely seen security clip.

I’ll quote myself because your conclusion adds nothing, “Obviously, this poor old man should not have been stomped and the suspects should be penalized to the maximum extent of the law.”

A Minnesota Vikings player stopped at a grocery store, comes back out gets into his car and drives off

The cops pull him over for stealing the car.
It wasn’t his.
His was parked next to the one he took.
It looked just like his and his key fit the ignition

I think we are on the same page as far as the question of the people beaters goes but since it does not appear that the gentlemen in question were asking him to join their debate society I doubt speaking English would have done him any good in any case.

"Don’t you have to pass an English test to become a citizen?"

The man probably did pass the English test. However, with Alzheimer's he probably forgot everything he learned. With his state of mind, good luck teaching him any English. Alzheimer's disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language.

Reminds me of new neighbor of my Dad. My stepmom had beginning stage ALZ and thinking the same neighbors lived next door would knock and enter their home. My Dad was very ill - heart- and this neighbor came over yelling at him..keep your f’ing wife off my property. Luckily neighbors all around them explained to them she was harmless. This man personally apologized many times after my Dad passed. He was a good guy, but protective of his home.
My Dad was so humiliated that he never made peace with this neighbor, which is sad..

Because they are black. Blacks are a scourge.

Could they not tell he was just confused and had the wrong car?

The reason they thought he wanted to rob or steal the car is because that's what they would have done. To them, it's just natural.

You pre-judge a lion, or a pitbull, a poodle, based on what you already reliably know about them

OK, so it's a mix of previous facts and knowledge which develops a good-faith and common-sense presumption.

In the past, blacks may have been prejudiced only because of their color and their status as former slaves. But now their behavior in general with some exceptions of course, is developing a good-faith, common-sense presumption.

The Satanic Delusional Lying Left calls this "profiling", "prejudice", and "racism". But in fact it is, or should be, common sense and self interest in protecting oneself and society from a proven threatening pattern of behavior.

So there should be a presumption regarding black when it comes to brutal violent behavior and that presumption can be rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

IMO, that's the way it should be. But along with the nasty problems of the lies of the Left, you also have those that simply hate blacks because of their skin color and general appearance which add fuel to the Leftist fire.

One thing for sure: the federal government has NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY to meddle with how blacks or anyone else is treated. With the exception that states are forbidden from having segregation laws (14th A), the rest is a state's issue. And EVERYBODY would be better off that way.

I think government interference and force has done more harm than good as unconstitutional goent acts and laws always do. The 1964 Civil Rights Act should be repealed as unconstitutional and miserable. We'd all be better off including the blacks.

I’m too old to get into a physical confrontation. But my gun is young enough to win.
