91 Year Old Ocala Woman Beaten

A 91-year-old Ocala woman was beaten by two suspects who broke into her residence early Saturday morning, according to the Ocala Police Department.

Ocala police said it appears the burglars entered the elderly woman’s northeast Ocala home through a back window shortly before 6 a.m. and, when she heard noises, she called out to see who was inside.

Authorities said the intruders confronted the homeowner and demanded cash from her. When she told them that she didn’t have any money, they beat her. Officials said the robbers then left the home, and it appears they left empty-handed.

Officers found the victim in a room. She was transported to a hospital, where as of Saturday evening she was expected to survive her injuries.

Police searched the area, and a Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit assisted in looking for suspects. They were unsuccessful in finding the persons responsible for the beating.

Officials only got a vague description of the suspects.

Police declined to release the victim’s name, the hospital she was taken to or the extent of her injuries.

A relative of the victim, contacted by the Star-Banner, declined comment.

This is my husband's great-Aunt. She was pistol whipped and shot in the head. Of course the article doesn't say the men were black. I guess that was too vague. And you won't see it on any front pages and there won't be any hordes of Seniors on Scooters protesting in Ocala either.

In Ocala? Damn. Most of the people I know who LIVE in Ocala are gun toting rednecks. Surprised granny didn’t respond with her 20 ga.

Prayers up for her.

It doesn’t fit the narrative or the agenda so it didn’t actually happen.

H/T to our FRiend happilymarriedmom for the post.

I'm also pinging several Florida FReepers to this one.

This is particularly heinous - even my words fail me sometimes...

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”
Isaiah 21:6

Ocala used to be such a peaceful place.

[Responsibility2nd]

Prayers for this poor woman.

This style of the knock-out game is getting more and more perverse. Reports of young Trayvons beating, raping and even killing elderly white people is becoming very common.

[Awgie]

Incredible! Very very sorry to hear about your Great Aunt. People like her built this nation. They survived 2 world wars and the depression, only to live long enough to see their legacy squandered on a bunch of ungrateful worthless know nothings.

Hopefully she is able to recover and resume her life and the criminals are brought to justice.

Find them. Kill them. Cremate them. Scatter them.

[Bogey78O]

Ya gotta feel bad for folks who back in the 20s and 30s were probably thinking that we need more integration only to be abused in their 80s and 90s by folks who only see them as a white devil.

[Responsibility2nd]

Lynchings. Back in the 20’s and 30’s, there were options out there to avoid theses types of black on white crimes we see happening every day.

If our legal and judicial systems are broken and ineffective, then vigilantism will be a natural result.

[MNDude]

As will happen to the millennials of the same mindset during the 2080’s.

Of course the article doesn't say the men were black.

Doesn't need to. Everyone already knows.

[Perseverando]

She was pistol whipped and shot in the head. Of course the article doesn't say the men were black.

No the article did not even mention any description of the perps, other than they were males. I sort of suspected they were "Amish." I guess it was probably payback for Charleston.

Oh well, just another black on white attack on the elderly.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

If she survives the hospital, and still has any capability, the woman should be given a “ladies’ gun”, and taught how to use it, along with a push button emergency alert necklace.

Each year when they come out with the list of most violent small cities, Ocala is usually pretty high up on the rankings.

Beating vs Shot in The Head

Major difference in description of the attack. Was she shot in the head in an effort to kill her, and they failed?

[Blue Jays]

When the so-called "vague description" even fails to list the race of the perps...the answer is they are black.

I especially enjoy when the media indicates something like this:
"...The alleged attacker is approximately 5'11" to 6'1" in height with brown hair. He was wearing sunglasses, a gray shirt, blue pants, blue belt, blue socks, white sneakers, and was wearing fresh cologne with a sandalwood top note with mossy undertones. He drove a silver 2014 Nissan vehicle. No other details are available..."

Grrr....

[CGASMIA68]

Scatter them...Nah flush them so they don’t pollute the country side or seas

[Blue Jays]

Sorry about the attack on your husband's relative.
Best wishes to her for a full and very speedy recovery.
That is simply horrible to learn. :-(

[happilymarriedmom]

We were told that she was both beaten and then shot. Not sure why it doesn’t say that in the article. Unless to downplay the severity.
