Police said an 82-year-old man who was repeatedly punched and kicked in an unprovoked attack at a Portland bus stop late last month has died, Oregon Live reported.
What are the details?
Donald Pierce died Thursday of blunt force trauma after he and 88-year-old Edward Lichtenstein were knocked to the ground and beaten near Southwest 5th Avenue and Hall Street around 8:30 p.m. June 25, the outlet said.
Portland police officers were responding to an unrelated call in the area when they saw the attack and arrested 29-year-old Keffer White, Oregon Live said.
Witness statements and video of the incident indicate that White attacked Lichtenstein and Pierce with no warning, the outlet said in an earlier story. White punched and kicked both men repeatedly even after knocking them to the ground, Oregon Live said, citing police.
Witnesses also said White announced during the attack that he was going to kill the two men, Multnomah County district attorney spokesperson Elisabeth Shepard said in a release, according to the outlet.
Lichtenstein and his wife and Pierce had been waiting for a bus at the stop when White began yelling and making fun of the two men for being elderly, Deputy District Attorney Nicole M. Hermann wrote in an affidavit filed in court, according to Oregon Live.
More from the outlet:
White became more aggressive and approached the group, who did not engage him, the prosecutor wrote. White “head-butts” Lichtenstein, knocking his hat off his head, and shoved him backwards before grabbing and throwing Pierce to the ground, Hermann wrote. White knocked Pierce, who uses a cane, into the street and then kicked him in the head several times, witnesses told police, according to the affidavit. White then turned back to Lichtenstein, who was attempting to walk away, and punched Lichtenstein

Do I?
Start publicly executing these people, otherwise the authorities are in favor of it.
Keffer White hmmm. I guess the “Knockout Game” is making a triumphant return
People need to be packin’. Think Mr. Alba at the Bodega. His knife was well positioned for a reason.
I looked for both of us.
Perp White actually IS white! Evil comes in all colors.
Keffer White
This is why I do not go about unarmed.
MORE OF SATAN’S FR’KN ANIMALS RUNNING LOOSE IN THE COUNTRY!
Long rap sheet, career punk, yet out on the streets.
He’s white. Evil is color-blind.
What kind of stupid coward goes around beating and killing old folks?
Lily white pantifa punk. Rats are saddened he didn’t use an AR.
You can probably find videos of him throwing stuff at the police from the summer of mostly peaceful riots.
Exactly. If this piece of smelly excrement approached me aggressively he'd learn tout de suite I have a concealed carry firearm (with a backup). Of course, I would have been practicing my situational awareness well in advance of his approach.
And naturally, I would never be in a location where I'd be unable to protect myself in the first place.
White dude did it. No blacks were involved.
“Start publicly executing these people, otherwise the authorities are in favor of it.”
Perhaps put their executions on Tik Tok since many of these thugs seem to get so much joy having their crimes seen there.
THIS is one more reason Americans have the absolute RIGHT to firearms. It’s FREEDOM!!
A firearm levels the playing field when the young and strong try to kill or hurt a small elderly person. Leftists prey on the vulnerable and they want to preserve their advantage. Public hanging for these types. I’ll pull the lever.
Lots of demons out there.
