SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -Authorities say they've charged a Syracuse teenager with the unprovoked beating of a 70-year-old man outside a convenience store, an attack that left the victim in serious condition.

Police Chief Frank Fowler says Monday that 18-year-old Romeo Williams has been charged with second-degree assault after Saturday morning's beating of Jim Gifford as he walked across the parking lot outside a 7-Eleven store.

Fowler says Williams hit Gifford in the face, knocking him unconscious. Police say Williams then entered the store and celebrated by taking off his hat and holding it up in the air and smiling before going back outside to beat and kick Gifford.

Let me guess..Romeo Williams is a “White Hispanic?” but all signs point to him being another one of Obama’s many many sons

Of course the idiots don't know what motivated the teen ager. Like he-- they don't.

From the link:

Josette Williams, Romeo Williams’ mother, tells CNY Central that she is thoroughly disgusted and “very angry with Romeo.” Williams says her son had a number of psychological and behavior problems growing up. At the age of 13, Josette Williams says she turned Romeo over to the state where he went into several programs for troubled youth. “When they handed him back to me, he was the same way as when he went in,” she said. Williams says says her son has been on various medications for years, but also used illegal drugs when he entered a life on the streets of Syracuse.

She says she can not understand why Romeo would have attacked an elderly man. “He’s always had compassion for the elderly,” she said.

I’m trying to figure this out. Why didn’t the cops prevent this violent crime? I don’t understand it.

No, they were probably busy breaking down the wrong door and killing the wrong dog.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Thou art free pending trial, but soon to be in prison, doing 2-7 for aggravated battery.

I guess Jim is a old white guy.

Just another case for the files on the war on whites in America.

Now this shocks me to the core. It really does. I had no idea Syracuse had "streets" to be on.

These old timers most likely think that the USA is still the country that they grew up in....it’s not.
