A tip to Crimeline has led to the arrests of two men in a brutal beating that occurred a week ago in the Midway community east of Sanford.

Julius Ricardo Bender, 18, and Yahaziel Isaac Israel, 19, face charges of attempted first-degree murder, burglary with assault or battery and armed burglary.

The victim, a 50-year-old Winter Springs man whose name has not been released, is on life-support at Orlando Regional Medical Center.

If the guy on the right was walking through my neighborhood I would assume he was on his way to church... and that he loved everyone. /s

If I didn’t assume that the MSM would punish me - my family - and everyone who lives in my neighborhood.

I think it is time to demand a ban on all hammers.

Thanks for letting me know. Mine wasn’t bothered...but I’m sure it depends on what spyware/anti-vi program one uses. Sometimes MySpace can be pretty ‘buggy’.

This is unbelievable:

I wrote to the author of the article and asked when they were going to release the NAME of the victim. Here is his reply:

“The victim was white. It is Orlando Sentinel policy to not use race of people we write about unless it is pertinent to the story, such as the description of suspects or in the case of the Sanford shooting when the family of the victim made it an issue. If investigators determine this is a hate crime, we will use the race. The Sheriff’s Office has withheld the name because he is on life-support and will likely not make it.”

“Wonder if their victim is Caucasian. Since his identity is being withheld”

The victim could be Hispanic. Wouldn’t that be interesting?

Mine too. ME said it had to “clean computer”....I swear. I’m tired of trying to be less overt in my comments about Holder’s People. These subhuman thugs exist in our world, our community with impugnity. When they commit crimes, we often get a chance to see their punk visages, while not being told the victim is/was white - i.e., not black.

I’m sick of it. If any of you out there think I need to be open-minded and non-biased about all of this, you are effing nuts. I carry - If I come across one and looks at me sideways, I’ll make sure my story is the only one that the police hears.

-- Martin, the innocent "unarmed child," was doing his level best to murder Zimmerman, a clear act of attempted murder. When Zimmerman legitimately shot him in legal self-defense ... --

Zimmerman's story has not been well circulated, but it has a series of events, ending with the shooting. His version has him taking a beating, no effort on his part to use deadly force. He shifts his body so his head would be slammed to the grass instead of to the sidewalk, and in shifting, exposes his holstered pistol. Details murky here as to who grabbed for the gun first, but on seeing the pistol, Trayvon Martin uttered a death threat. There was a struggle over who would possess the pistol. This is after taking 45 seconds - 75 seconds of beating.

-- Martin got exactly what he deserved --

I think we'll find that was the UNANIMOUS decision of the Sanford police.

If investigators determine this is a hate crime, we will use the race.

What crapola. If the 2 perps were white and the guy on life support were black you know bloody well they would have listed the race of the victim.

At least you got a response from the writer - that is a start.

I lay this at the feet of Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Black Panthers, ABC, NBC, MSNBC etc. They have been and continue to incite violence. I hope this victim survives and sues the crap out of all of them — he can sure show damage.

To all those on FR who questioned Zimmerman's use of force in response to an assailant without a firearm:

“The victim was white. It is Orlando Sentinel policy to not use race of people we write about unless it is pertinent to the story, such as the description of suspects or in the case of the Sanford shooting when the family of the victim made it an issue. If investigators determine this is a hate crime, we will use the race. The Sheriff’s Office has withheld the name because he is on life-support and will likely not make it.”

And bashing someone's head against a sidewalk can lead to brain injury or death as well. The perps who did this are barely older than Trayvon.

But we won't see condemnation of this incident by the Sharptons of the world. And if you FReepers who bashed Zimmerman had any integrity, you would come to this thread and eat the crow you deserve.

[liberalh8ter]

Yes, it would. According to city data, the average age of Seminole Fl residents is 59.1 years and 92.7 % are “white” alone with just 3.6% being Hispanic. If he does turn out to be Hispanic, you'd have to consider those odds in determining whether he was targeted.

[Cboldt]

So, the family of the victim can make the race of the attackers an issue. Assert the attack was racially motivated.

Think the “murky details” might be cleared up with forensic test revealed: Who has powder on hands, angle of gunshot, etc.
Until that information is released, people can/will speculate.

I think it is time to demand a ban on all hammers.

....and hammerheads like these.

Apologies to sharks.

[NoLibZone]

This is why they want to disarm us.

Florida needs to restrict hammer purchases.
