The PI has pictures: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/237930_fight25.html

Yeah it was posted. What are you trying to do? Make some kind of big deal out of this --like Rodney King or something? If so -- Fat Chance (wrong demographics involved.)

[DB]

Some people in serious need of extended prison time.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yeah, the local television news stations have been playing the video clip since yesterday afternoon.

These gangstas need to do hard time.

[teenyelliott]

Posted and pulled.

We'll see how it goes today!

And from what I read on the thread last night, the fact that these guys are vets had nothing to do with what motivated these monsters to beat them half to death. The thugs got "dissed", that's all.

[Zeppelin]

This one should be of interest to you, unfortunately...

[Thrusher]

I don't care if it gets posted 100 times if it will help in even the smallest way to get the SOBs that did this!

[beltfed308]

Hope they catch them. It could have been any one of us regardless of being in the service. Punks like this simply do not care who gets in their way.

I'm not the mod, the spelling cop, or the thread police, but one of the main reasons for duplicate threads is modifying headlines, as you have done.

[lormand]

Is Washington one of those states that disarm the law-abiders?

[thoughtomator]

We're so close to civil war it is not funny. Everybody with a shred of decency in your hearts, get armed.

Link to video of beating:

[hombre_sincero]

has anyone ever been able to see the video? Apple's Quick-Time sux!

[Onelifetogive]

Race is never mentioned in the article, so everyone involved must be the same race...right???

[Thrusher]

Has anyone else noticed in the video that it looks like there is another guy video-taping the beating, as well? A guy in a jersey with the number "11" on the back is holding something out that looks like either a video camera or may be a cellphone camera.

[Peach]

OMG. This is what they did to our soldiers when they returned from Vietnam. This is making me sick. Literally.

[Steve_Seattle]

There are two ways you can identify a moron: (1) they light a match to see if there's any gas in the tank; and (2) they grope women who are standing right next to their husbands.

[jmax]

Someone needs to tell the police to see how many of these guys are on the staff of Patty Murray..........

[rogue yam]

This sort of thing happens over and over again in Seattle. With apologies to all Seattle FReepers and other conservatives, it is the people of Seattle who are responsible for these continuing outrages because they simply refuse to face up to what they are dealing with. Thugs repeatedly commit brazen acts of thuggery in the heart of Seattle's most populous nightlife district because they know that they will not be held accountable. People get murdered and then the "reverends" come out and blame the police and law-abiding white people for "disrespecting" blacks generally, which apparently causes some blacks to commit these crimes they otherwise would not have. As soon as the "civil rights" pimps point the finger back at whitey, Seattlites slink off to hide in their "shame." Until taxpaying, law-abiding Seattlites unapologetically call a thug a thug and a demogogue a demogogue, and demand accountability from their elected leaders, then they will continue to be treated like jailhouse "bitches" because that is exactly what they are. Grow a spine, people!

Do not change the headline from that in the original source. You have been here long enough to already know that.

[bellas_sister]

This and the Reginald Denny footage is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen. I can't stop crying when I think about sending my girls out into a world that would be so callus (sp?) and EVIL.

Why didn't anyone stop and help them?
