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

Pepper spray would have worked. All three should have had it at the ready.

Hang him immediately.
No punishment is cruel and unusual enough for that bastard. May he and every jackanapes who let him wander loose be afflicted with the torments of hell.
Dude’s actin’ black.
A gun. With bullets.
And aim center mass.
Cold-blooded murders such as this will become increasingly common until we have government leadership with the courage to ensure all such murderers are routinely executed within a few weeks of their apprehension.
Great post or picture. The first four are blank because Oregon just instituted a law forbidding law enforcement from releasing photos of perps until they are convicted.
What kind of stupid coward goes around beating and killing old folks?

People who, for whatever reason, do not carry a firearm should always have some other weapon to ward off attackers, e.g., a knife, pepper spray, bear spray, blackjack, etc. There’s lots of thug stoppers out there. Even those ultra loud siren alarms could save someone’s life.
The mental disease is rapidly spreading.

That’s head that would only look good on a pike at a major intersection!
Antifa, gaydar and drugs.
wow.
Keffer is possessed.
I did read that one had a cane. There are videos on how to use a cane for defense. Spray would be good, of course any edged weapon , spiky key chains, etc. Something is better than nothing,even just to create space in order to get away from them.
This sob needs to go down. If the state can’t manage it perhaps the prison population will.
Thanks. I thought they were blank just because of processing time.
Hang him immediately.

THAT is the only way this kind of barbaric attack will be curtailed. Catch ‘em and kill ‘em, no hesitation, no regrets.

Someone could start a fundraiser (I’d chip in a C-Note myself) to compensate any dude who puts that SOB in critical care with the prospect of LONG-TERM rehabilitation!
That’s not fair.

I have two sword canes. Of course they’re illegal. They work best if the blade is cut off so it’s no longer than 7-10 inches. Any longer and they’re too unwieldy for close-up work. I carry one as back up in case my 9mm jams!
