WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.

Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center. . .

"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years.

He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars. . .

Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old. . .

At least he didn’t try to defend himself. He did the right thing, and left that to the professionals.

And the kids who beat this war hero were black. Wonder how long it will take the lamestream media to bury this story.

The rate of these black on white beatings seems to be increasing.(Yes, I know that was a subjective remark.)

[hal ogen]

Just what is with these racists? Just what is it with the “authorities” in not vigorously pursuing these murders? One can only hope that evermore people will concealed carry and kill the assailants, saving society money and time dealing with subhuman ferals.

Words fail.

RIP Delbert Belton, American hero.

The rate of these black on white beatings seems to be increasing.

And we're going into State Fair season, too.

My dad was an Okinawa vet. I wonder if they ever met?

[ConradofMontferrat]

Nothing to see here. Just more street monkeys on the loose.

No hate crime here.......

And a 90 year old man.

Evil cowards.

Hang em!

[seacapn]

Reminds me of the Bob and Nancy Strait murder/rape from last year in Tulsa. An old war vet, sentenced to a horrible end by the fact that we refuse to control crime in America anymore. Shame on all of us for tolerating this state of affairs.

[Noumenon]

Kill them.

[Timber Rattler]

He survived the worst that the Japs could throw at him, only to be beaten to death by two gang bangers who probably don’t even know or care what World War II was.

Iowa? Minnesota?

Its the new craze of sucker punching. An Orlando man has been paralyzed by these random attacks by African males.
