SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A 17-year-old pleaded guilty Wednesday to murder in the beating death of 88-year-old Delbert Belton, a World War II veteran who survived the battle of Okinawa but was killed in a robbery outside a Washington state bar in 2013.

Kenan Adams-Kinard pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in exchange for two lesser charges being dropped. He faces a standard sentence to 20 to 27 years in prison when he is sentenced at a later date.

Oh well, the old white guy would have died soon anyway.

This Son Of Barack (SOB) was only doing the job the death panels haven’t gotten around to yet.

I would just be waiting outside the gates on release day.

My great uncle was killed by a bunch of mugging yutes In NYC. He was a silver star awardee from the Bulge campaign. They never found them.

Gov. Jay Inslee halts executions

If this happened in 1850 we would be reading about it as another vigilante lynching. They knew how to take care of these killers back in the day, but no one can keep the history straight unless there are endless trials and appeals to “safeguard” these animals.

Maybe, just maybe this poor misguided youth will meet his maker while in prison. Just hoping he will at least get some pretty harsh treatment by his roomies.

Yes, but he should go in feet first.

He will be a hero with his roomies because most all of them will be white hating black males. And, he will probably be converted to Islam. And, when he gets out, which will be a lot sooner than 27 years, he will either go on the white liberal lecture circuit or kill more white people wherever he settles.

“”They knew how to take care of these killers back in the day””

Yessiree. We have a giant Oak that still grows at our Courthouse square called the Hanging Tree.

For sure it had a workout in those days.

There are pictures of 4 cattle rustlers hanging from one limb. They were tried, found guilty and hung. Story goes from arrest to hanging, 3 days.

It also got a heavy work out during the Cart wars hanging Mexican carters that were “stealing” freighter business from the “locals”.

Swift justice that we do not see anymore and should.

We could start inside the beltway with the cheating, lieing stealing politicians. We might get the attention of future “politicians” and get “statesman” in future elections.

Since when is 20-27 years a standard sentence for premeditated murder?

He should, but in our PC world it would be “hateful” of us to put him through that—disaffected youth and all.

God says vengeance is Mine. This punk will get his reward soon enough.

I like the Mencken quote. Others also seem appropriate in light of our current president:

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
H. L. Mencken

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
H. L. Mencken

“Democracy is the worship of jackals by jackasses.”
H.L. Mencken

Of course, when our guys win (which happens occasionally) the voters are okay.

I suggest everyone read “The Death of Punishment” by Robert Blecker.

He outlines reasons we NEED to keep the death penalty.

Thanks. I used to be a member of the Mencken Society and actually attended two of its annual meetings, one in 1978 (James T. Farrell was guest speaker)and the centennial celebration in 1980, a highlight of my life. I’ve also visited the Mencken Room at the Pratt, three times at that. In 1980 I met Alistair Cooke, Carl Bode, William Bode, John Dorsey, Malcolm Moos, and William Nolte, unfortunately all deceased now. Cooke gave a great speech at the Belvedere Hotel. Anyway, thanks for the Mencken stuff. By-the-by, I boast of a terrific Mencken collection, with well over 100 books either by or about him. I also have one of his signed typed letters. And to think, he never went to college!
