Florence County sheriff’s deputies have arrested two suspects, including a 16-year-old, they say were involved in a fatal shooting outside a Florence hotel room Monday morning. *snip*
A native of Jackson, Mich., Chaffin landed at Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945, according to a February 2008 report in The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun.
He dropped out of high school in the 10th grade to join the Navy and “even the score” for the death of his two brothers, Elmer and Kenneth, in the war, according to the September newsletter of the Gator Detachment of the Marine Corps League Inc. in Gainesville, Fla. He also sang in the Great Lakes Naval Choir.

My deepest sympathies for this hero and his family. I'll say no more, but you all know what it would be if I did.

“I think this is going to be a death penalty case,” Boone said. Let's hope.

These are the two perps seen in the embedded account who killed the 83-year-old WWII veteran.
If they had to be criminals in the first place, they couldn't take his wallet and walk away? I hope they rot or get the chair, needle, or chamber...whatever is coming to them.

They killed one of the many that gave them the right to breathe in a free society. Death penalty falls short when it comes to their punishment. Vet speaks.

As if we had any WWII vets left to spare. What a disaster. This hero earned the right to live in peace & rest in peace someday due to natural causes.
To: Flavius
Will they be charged with a “hate crime” or lauded for social justice?

The liberal Democrats won't let that happen. The 16-year-old turd will be free by the age of 21.

I am so glad they were caught.
