Definitely not a hate crime. They did it for the love of money.

This should be on all talk shows. Truly disgusting doesn’t come close to describing this heinous act.

Crutchfield was attacked on January 5 while he and his girlfriend were waiting for a bus. He had heeded the warnings of commanders that a Marine on leave might be seen as a prime robbery target with a pocketful of money, so he only carried $8, his military ID card and a bank card.

This is really tragic. Sad that we allow our best to live in such conditions in the US.

When are the drive-bys going to discuss the hazards of living in a Democrat=controlled inner city. A place where NO ONE is safe from predators; vultures who are known to prey on anyone who they mark as "having money."

Extermination is the only solution for this.

Precisely! Why do we ‘accept’ that vultures roam freely in some populated areas.

Let’s ‘redeploy’ to Cleveland and liberate it from the terrorists that control it.

I bet that he was to young to apply for a concealed carry permit. I am sure that the minimum age in Ohio is 21, and he was attacked 4 1/2 months ago.

If he could fight for our country, he should be allowed to bear arms while on leave.

Should be a federal crime to assault or kill a service member.

Sorry but the crime is murder regardless of WHO is murdered. My family whether a service member or not deserves the same protection under th law as any "service member".

No special class here!

This terrible tragedy illustrates the total destruction we are facing - not by foreign enemies - but right here on sovereign soil.

We are facing barbarians outside and inside the gate.

God bless this devastated family and help us all recover our souls.

Equality! Bullcrap, when your family goes out and put their lives fighting the bad guys then they should have the same treatment.

It is like school, when they made the teachers less of a special class and more like the students they lost control in many schools.

All your policy leads to is problems recruiting and retaining good people to keep your family safe because the criminals know they aren’t anything special to kill. In the old days kill a civilian maybe a death sentence, kill a cop certain death plus they would work you over until then.

I won’t even get into the Federal Government can get involved in cases like the Rodney King case. After all these two killers just cost the taxpayers perhaps a million dollars in insurance and recruiting and training this Marine’s replacement unlike some cops beating Rodney King.

After a dozen searches I finally found a pic of Crutchfield, and not a single one of the perps.
