Five soldiers beat a gay man nearly to death

Too cool! Yet another Virginia high school brush-with-fame story here (I graduated in 1977): my English teacher for one term was a Mr. Holbrook. His brother is he actor, Hal Holbrook. Hal would sometimes speak at length to his brother’s classes.

youngster. (as a mere toddler, I graduated in '72- but I digress). I’m sure dave will be here any moment to support his claim about the ‘explosion’ of crime in the past twenty/thirty years due to us bleeding heart liberals who think that assaulting someone (yes, even a thief) is criminal.

funny, here I thought that weirddave bein’ the stand up kinda guy he is, when asked to support his posts, would be along directly to do so instead of not posting in the thread again, in the hope that it drops off the page and no one remembers it.

But - instead of searching the web for support for his “explosion of crime” comment, here he is today, in the PIT, demanding “CITE” from some one else

from this thread

I’m sure he won’t
A. continue to ignore this
B. come back in, weasling about how he really meant something other than the crime rate in the US “exploding” since some unspecified time, etc etc etc.
that he meant something other than

from post 179 that some how or another

(post 181) shouldn’t be a criminal act when the guy in question was stealing, even though every state in the US would define that as a criminal act(especially since your description of his injuries seems to be incorrect - (snip), Craighead said he opened the door and found Bennett lying on the sidewalk bleeding and wounded badly. “You could tell he took a fist to the right eye,” Craighead said. The police report states Bennett was hit and kicked and was “bleeding profusely from lacerations along his right side, a cut near or on the right eye. He was barely conscious.”) and from post 188

far from criminal, their actions were heroic.
what actions? 5 men beating the guy unconscious’ cause he took a wallet, and he was like, a bad guy.
