WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.

Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Witnesses say the Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him.

Belton died from his injuries Thursday at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years.

He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.

Belton's wife passed away several years ago.

Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old.

One suspect was described as heavy set and wearing all black clothing. The other was described as being about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. There was no description of what clothing the second suspect was wearing other than a silk do-rag.

Police investigating the deadly attack on Belton are also working to obtain surveillance footage from the scene.

The very same rap “artists” that Obama invites to the White House.

He has done nothing but empower the worst elements and delegitimize rational, decent black people.

With Obama, division is all. This is his key to success.

“Can we just start shooting these thugs at will?”

Well, perhaps there should be some kind of parameters. You know, to make it sporting and all. No shots over 600 yards allowed between midnight (00:00) and, say, 00:15.

Does anyone know how many white people = 1 Trayvon? I think one baby, one jogger and one WWII vet is more than sufficient for the ‘Just Us’ set.

Coward animal bastards, beat an old man to death, shoot a jogger in the back, shoot an infant in a stroller and how about Kelli Hunewell, Columbia SC, mother of four working third shift in a bakery. Three black yutes broke in the bakery, all wearing hoodies, cornered and shot her to death. This was a little over a month ago. It’s time for Deuteronomy 19:21.

My goodness, it’s hard to keep up with all the carnage against caucasians; perhaps someone can keep track—

Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murder.

Wow, it’s funny you mentioned that, because not four hours ago I was talking with a friend and I said much the same thing, citing Quantrill and the Lawrence raid on the one side and and Hoyt and the Red Legs on the other.

We are entering interesting times.

Agreed. Hang ‘em from a lamppost and leave them for the crows to peck, to serve as a warning for the other animals with similar inclinations.

“Justice for Shorty” - no hoodie, just a holster. I urge everyone who can to take the course in your state that will allow you concealed carry. Enough is enough!

I’ve been doing something that I/we should practice regularly:
working on my draw from holster/belt bag.

The difference between these subhumans and rabid dogs is it’s not the dogs’ fault.
