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.

It is New York City. The only thing surprising about it is that are not more of them. And judging from what they voted on themselves, it will only get worse.

When the government refuses to protect the people from criminals then they have the right to protect themselves.

Most people don’t realize that cops, courts, and prisons do not exist to protect good people from evil people.

It’s the reverse that’s true.

If two bears are noticing that blacks are being disproportionately violent, is it the bears or the noticing that is racist?

My ancestors knew how things could go observing their behavior since 1619 and they were MUCH BETTER BEHAVED then

But squareheads with little experience knew better then we did of course

I was just in my hometown Jackson Mississippi

Johannesburg now

Rural blacks in the Deep South tend to behave better as a general rule

But spontaneous personal violence over not a whole lot is more common in their group than any other worldwide

By far

I'm confused, was he beaten in NYC or Jacksonville, FL?

It seems more likely they’ll have stature among the prison population owing to the nature of their crime.

That’s great and all but when are they going to do something about it? These criminals aren’t going to listen to “whitey” try to set them straight.
