PHILADELPHIA (CBS) A Vietnam veteran who lost his eye while serving his country was violently beaten during a random attack by a group of teens on a Philadelphia street earlier this week.
The attack happened shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday in the 5000 block of N. 5th Street in the citys Olney section.
These animals are specializing on our elderly people out here and a gentleman who served our country, Lt. George McClay said.
According to investigators, 64-year-old Edward Schaefer was walking to meet his wife at the bus stop when he was approached from behind by six males.

Can anyone honestly say that if 6 white thugs had so visciously attacked a 64-year old black vet we would have seen a headline including:
"Randomly Attacked"
And not
"Racial Attack"
Got to carry in Philadelphia.
Vengeance is mine saith the Vet!
And what KIND of males were they??? (besides cowardly )
Today, when I'm in the city, I make sure that I never leave my vehicle without checking around me for gangs of youth of any color.
It's important today to be proactive as well as reactive.
My, my, my. A 64 year old one-eyed vet brutally beaten by 6 young punks from Da Hood. (wearing hoods even)
Laughing & joking as they went along. But, they forgot those cameras.
Now what will the excuse be?
Pennsylvania Dutch?
Philadelphia is the sewer of the country.

“Can ye spare some cutter, me brothers?”
I am sorry.
Yep, they feel empowered (for now).
We haven’t seen anything, yet. This country is going to become so ugly. Bet their lawyer gets them off with the “the victim was racist and asked for it” defense. If they do go to jail, I hope they become someones wife very quickly.
Oh hell, don’t exert yourself.
There’s nothing wrong with those punks a half an ounce of led wouldn’t fix.
I don’t advocate that either of course, but frankly that’s what they deserve in spades.
This report makes my blood boil.
I don’t care what the color of the perps or the victim was, those perps deserve the full treatment.
Frankly, I’m tired of this crap. How much are citizens supposed to take? If the government doesn’t defend it’s citizens, replace the people in power with those who will.
Eerily similar to what happened to one of my father’s best friends some years ago. Harry was in his sixties, minding his own business while waiting at a bus stop in SF. Four black males set upon him in a “random” attack, after beating him they splashed gasoline on him and set him afire. He spent many months in rehabilitation and skin grafts, and lost the use of his left arm. Random means he was white, his attackers black. BTW, my dad left Philly because of bad conditions there.
