3 Florida teens charged with murder of 64-year-old who 'narrowly escaped' 9/11 terror attack—claimed victim ‘dissed’ their ‘dead homies’

A former World Trade Center worker who also "narrowly escaped" the September 11 terror attacks in 2001 has been beaten to death in New York City by three teenagers. One of the teens was just 12 years old at the time of the beating.

Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found after three teenagers were seen “kicking and stomping” on him, according to an arrest report in Florida. Borkum was found with blood around his head and a "blood trail extending down the sidewalk,” a police report said.

Justin Curry, 13, Marcavion Lacey, 19, and Robert Pope, 17, have all been arrested in connection to the brutal beating. All three of the teens have been charged with murder. Pope and Lacey were detained shortly after the attack on Borkum.

When police arrived on the scene, they "discovered Roger Borkum had been severely beaten. He was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries four days later," a press release from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said.

The report said that the three teens were going through the man's backpack, and then about 20 minutes later, returned and kicked him multiple times, per the New York Post.

One of the suspects said they attacked Borkum because the 64-year-old man had "dissed" their "dead homies," the report said. Borkum worked on the 77th floor of Tower 1 at the World Trade Center. He had been fired in July 2001, and "narrowly escaped" death and saw “his coworkers perish" in the terror attack.

They'd outlaw that if they could.

Except for themselves, of course.

Justin Curry, 13
Marcavion Lacey, 19
Robert Pope, 17

19 is an adult, and 17 is almost an adult.

How did three Florida “teens” kick a man to death in New York City?

What made them Florida “teens?”

In saner times they’d be executed by the end of the week and their families run out of town with only the clothes on their backs.

We should go back to that.

“In saner times they’d be executed by the end of the week and their families run out of town with only the clothes on their backs.”

In saner times their mothers and FATHERS would be ashamed they acted this way! I know the Fathers would say “I did not raise you this way!” and the Mothers would be crying in a handkerchief.

Now there is no fathers and the mothers are like “he dindu nuffin”.

Marcavian?

His parents are obviously well-educated. Marc from Mars, the Roman god of war, and -avian from, of course, bird.

It appears his parents planned for his name to honor the American Eagle.

Perhaps his family are Alabaman fans of Auburn, hence the War Eagle reference.

I am so thankful, today especially, that I live in an area that has no diversity. We are not compatible with them.

Noticing is racist:

Literally in response to the picture of two bears noticing vastly higher black violence, Furry posted this:

Stop posting racist crap.

******

So I asked whether among bears noticing astounding levels of black violence what part was racist? The bears or the noticing?

With no answer from her, and bears not being inherently racist critters, I conclude that Furry’s objection is the noticing.
