WTC worker who ‘narrowly escaped’ Sept. 11 terror attacks beaten to death by 3 teens: cops

A former World Trade Center worker who “narrowly escaped” the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks has been beaten to death by three teens — one of whom was just 12 at the time of the attack, according to officials.

Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found “severely beaten” just before midnight on Oct. 19 in Downtown Jacksonville, FL., after three teens were seen “kicking and stomping” him, according to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

He was found with blood “pooled” around his head — and a “blood trail extending down the sidewalk,” the arrest report said.

The attackers were seen “rummaging” through Borkum’s backpack — and then returned around 20 minutes later, kicking him “multiple” times, the report said. In total, the same suspects were seen “battering the victim three separate times,” the police docs said.

Borkum, a widower who was homeless at the time, died four days later of his injuries.

Three suspects — Justin Curry, 13, Marcavion Lacey, 19, and Robert Pope, 17 — were arrested within hours of the attack.

They were all indicted for murder on Nov. 20, according to a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office press release.

Curry was just 12 at the time of the attack.

One of the suspects blamed the attack on Borkum — a stranger — having “dissed” their “dead homies,” the reports said, without elaborating.

Bad seeds only grow more fungus until they finally rot.
Death penalty.

I am beginning to understand why ancient methods of torture death were used.

So that scum attcked the man, robbed him, then went back 20 minutes later to beat him to death. That shows premeditation with a special circumstance. Death penalty for all three.

Let’s see

they were good boys
they loved their momma
They had just started attending school again, getting their lives together
They were aspiring rappers
Everyone in the neighborhood loved them, always cracking jokes
Their sister just can’t understand how this could have happened.

The name “Marcavion” is a tip, as well.

I would wager that none of these three had fathers at home while growing up
