94-year-old WWII veteran beaten during SW Side robbery; suspect crashed stolen SUV
By Evelyn Holmes Thursday, December 08, 2016 CHICAGO (WLS) --
Police are looking for a man who allegedly beat a 94-year-old woman, stole her purse and took off in a stolen vehicle before crashing it in Chicago's Garfield Ridge neighborhood.
The victim's daughter, Judy Dusk, said her mother, Josephine Regnier, is a World War II Navy veteran.
Dusk said she was waiting for one of her daughters outside her building in the 5100-block of South Long Avenue to pick her up to go to the dentist when she was attacked around 11:50 a.m. Wednesday. Police said a man pushed Regnier into the hallway of her building.
"This man just came in the gangway and assaulted her, beat the **** out of her, took her purse and ran," Dusk said.
Regnier was rushed to MacNeal Hospital, where police said her condition stabilized.
Dusk said her mother was transferred to Edwards Hines Jr. Veterans Administration Hospital, where she is in serious condition, but stable.
"She's in the hospital right now with three fractured ribs, a black eye, a big goose egg on her head and a possible concussion," Dusk said.
Police said a short time after the attack, officers found an abandoned SUV in an alley in the 5700-block of South Archer Avenue, behind Villa Rosa Pizza, about a block away from Regnier's home. Police learned the vehicle had been reported stolen.
Surveillance video from the restaurant shows the suspect ditched the black SUV after hitting a dumpster. He appeared to be holding the woman's purse as he ran away. Police have not said who the vehicle belongs to.
Villa Rosa Pizza, where the victim's son works, offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

The suspect was described as a 30-year-old African American man with short black hair and a beard. He was wearing a brown leather jacket and dark-colored pants.
Another incredibly evil microcephalic savage. His family must be so proud of him.
I think this dude's about to be in some trouble.
Let her son break his legs with a 2X4.
He’s a good boy. He was getting ready to go to culinary school and had major plans to open his own chain of restaurants. /s
Isn’t that how it usually reads?
They probably are. Ol white bitch owed them 'cuase she 's white and he was jest getting what he's owed.
If she had been armed (not likely in gun control central - Chicago) and she shot him, the fambly would be saying what a good boy he was.
Still ONE tough soldier!! Blessing to you....Carry on troop!!
The thug only beat and robbed her.
The VA is going to murder her through mis/mal-treatment and get away with it. I’ve had several friends killed that way.
Re your BHO quote, I could make the argument that in many ways he’s a typical black person, couldn’t I?
Perhaps he was an aspiring rapper.
My 90 YO mother had a concussion last year. She lasted eight months.
Yeah, another case of “Gibs Me Dat” here.
"The VA is going to murder her through mis/mal-treatment and get away with it. Ive had several friends killed that way."
I would not diminish the fact that the ederly woman was beaten, by a thug, and at her age, may very well die from the trauma, but I hope not.

Veterans living at a long-term care facility in a Chicago-area VA hospital are pleading for congressional intervention over being forced to live the past 10 months with black mold growing in their housing complex.
Veterans Affairs documents indicate officials at Edward Hines, Jr. VA Hospital knew about the black mold infestation in August 2015 but conducted no testing until mid-April 2016 and have yet to clean up the problem though they are promising to act soon. The mold is contained in two rooms of the Residential Care Facility (RCF), a separate building housing 30 residents for indefinite stays.
I was going by the hallway and the door was open. The back wall was all moldy black, 81-year-old resident Raymond Shibek told FoxNews.com. I went and told the director of nursing. She said, How did you see that? I said, The door was open. She said, You werent supposed to see that.
Shibek said the mold covered an entire wall measuring roughly 10 feet-by-10 feet."

Well, I don’t think this crowd will be at the ederly assault victim’s service if she were to die...
Crowd braves cold to remember slain Dolton rapper
My thought when I read that part, “out of the frying pan & into the fire”. Hopefully with her family & news media watching she will escape no worse for the wear!
Sadly, she will probably not recover from this.
I wonder what odds he would give that
A. This guy is on parole or out on bond?
B. When they catch him, his Mother will not say, “He was turning his life around!”
C. He still gets less than a year for this crime.

North American euphemism for a member of the urban criminal class. This unusual occupation is usually mentioned in conjunction with the subject either being slain or being taken into custody for a violent or property-related crime. A relative of the subject usually points out that the subjects demise or incarceration comes at an extremely inopportune moment, ocurring just as the subject was "turning they(sic) life around."
Special K Icey Eight had a checkered past, but his mother insisted he was a "good boy" who was just turning his life around, when the aspiring rapper was gunned down by a homeowner after breaking into the house via the kitchen window.
He will probably be let go
