Police Need Your Help In Capturing Beating Suspects

August 24, 2005

Video : KOMO 4 NEWS Police say the three brutally beat two soldiers just home from the war in Iraq outside a Pioneer Square club, but it was caught on videotape.

SEATTLE - Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square. But believe it or not, someone caught the beating on videotape. Now, police are asking for your help identifying the suspects.

The brutality of it all was captured on tape outside of Larry's Nightclub on First and Yesler on July 31.

Police say the victims were with two women who'd been groped by the suspects. One of the women threw a hot dog at the suspects and walked away.

They didn't get very far. The three suspects ran after them and began attacking the two men -- two soldiers who'd come home from the war.

The graphic videotape shows both victims getting beaten over and over again, and then after one of the victims loses consciousness, a suspect starts stomping on his head.

Now police want your help in catching these guys.

"We consider them very dangerous," said Seattle Police Officer Sean Whitcomb.

After not getting any leads, Seattle police have just released this tape to the media even though it happened over three weeks ago.

If you know who these suspects are, or have any information in the case, you're asked to call Seattle Police.

Both victims suffered broken jaws, while one suffered a broken arm and both had other broken bones and several bruises.

Here's some closer photos and video of the suspects.

Well some people don't know and some people DO know and still say whatever tumbles forth from their mouths. Such is life. I managed to finish this day breathing. I'm having the best day ever and I want to keep it that way. Evil machinations aside ;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

I've reconsidered. I wanted some discord. I wanted to stand up and look very different than what we saw last night. And I wanted those who were trying to incite all the worst kind of hysteria to know they did not speak for me. Many people I respect stood up and agreed. Others sent FRMail because they didn't want to be flamed. Racism is the shallowest politic, and not what conservatism is all about. Truth and justice is.

And that's really my last word for tonight.

[HairOfTheDog]

It's hard to rebound when you are falsely accused and then called "evil." That was lower than low.

I had it worse, I was falsely accused and then called "liberal" ;~D

[cyborg]

Yes no one likes to be called P.C. liberal. Anyway, I'm off to sleep. I've given this too much of my vital energy.

Ha ha -
My screen name implies I have just about given up on everything I've been told. This of course is the result of seeing facts in person, then watching them being reported otherwise in the various media.
After I retired, I spent a lot of time in the National Archives ... The Good Books says the "truth will set us free". That I seek.

[I_like_good_things_too]

They're discussing this case/ questions of police handling on Mike Segal right now (KTTH).

[Rooivalk]

FR is such a good place filled with good and wonderful people. Thanks for your thoughts

[Rooivalk]

I too hope that this trash is taken down

[Black Tooth]

Thanks for the heads up. Let me know if you can what was said.

Run out'a cash for the 'lil woman's?

[LibWhacker]

You don't think these punks are Republicans, do 'ya?

There is an extremely high correlation between being a democrat and committing a crime. I can guarantee you these animals do not hold any Republican values near and dear to their hearts. They believe as democrats do on almost any issue you care to name.

So I guess what I'm saying is... If it talks like a rat, walks like a rat, commits crime like a rat, it's a rat!

[Black Tooth]

People like this don't even vote my friend. The only thing reason they'd go to a polling place would be to steal your car or murder you.

There world is quite different than yours.

[LibWhacker]

I agree with that, but I'm not talking about the party they're registered with. I'm talking about their beliefs, their state of mind. If you had them fill out a questionaire that probed their political philosophy, you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish it from Ted Kennedy's.

[Black Tooth]

Their state of mind is to knock you out and take your money. Plain and simple.

If you had them fill out a questionaire that probed their political philosophy, you'd be hard-pressed to distinguish it from Ted Kennedy's.

I don't think you grasp what these types of people are all about. They don't do questionnaire's my friend. It's nice to think they would, so we could see what they're "state of mind" is, but I've already explained that to you.

[luvbach1]

The strutting, pointing, and posturing reminds me of the criminals who beat the truck driver to the edge of death during an LA riot.

[Houmatt]

I'd say the media, the Mayor and Chief of Police have have a lot of very demanding questions to answer.

If this police chief was in during the WTO riots and the beating death of Kris Kimes, he should be fired immediately and replaced by someone less than a neanderthal.

[Black Tooth]

You're referring to Reginal Denny. They beat him senseless, in broad daylight, in front of hundreds of people, with news choppers hovering overhead. You can just imagine where their heads were. Then again, maybe we can't.

[investigateworld]

And the jury handed down a strong message with misdemeanor only convictions. U-Haul was backed up on reservations for a year after that.

Misdemeanor only?

Where do you get your information?

Damian "Football" Williams, the man convicted of mayhem in the beating of trucker Reginald Denny was sentenced to 8 years for felony mayhem. He served 4 years in state prison before being paroled in 97.
