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

This guy has quite a record, including other assaults. Another triumph of the criminal justice system.
.
They wait 18 months and downgrade charges.
Seen it a thousand times.

White dude did it. No blacks were involved.
= = =
Note his name is “White”
I suspect he feels guilty about that and his white skin, and is trying to fit in to the ‘Just’ society.
The mental disease is rapidly spreading.
“Just singin’ in the rain....”
In a just world, Keffer wouldn't live long enough for people to make fun of him for being elderly. Better yet, people shouldn't be able to make fun of him for being middle-aged because he would be six feet under and not make it that far. What a despicable POS.
I'd wager that Soros bought the DA office in Portland as part of "justice reform."
Crazy or drug addled. Probably both given it happened in Portlandia.
In Portland, Blacks are white
It’s way past time to start shooting back.
I am really, REALLY getting fed up with this crap. Carry, be aware of your surroundings and shoot these idiots if they attack you. They will get off easy with these radical DAs..
I’m about to head down to Ace. “Safe” suburb.
Pocket folder and a pocket .380 with a spare mag, just part of my everyday carry along with wallet, keys, comb.
Trump’s fault.
I need to ask... Democrat or a decent person?
What an a-hole. More unhinged behavior from the result of Participation Trophies and Time Outs.
R.I.P., Mr. Pierce.
Apprently those two old dudes didn’t get the memo, carry a freaking gun and know how to use it. I’m 84 and I carry when I go outside to water the plants. And I live in a safe neighbor hood.
