A soldier attacked over the weekend at a bar by a gang of six Russians may never move again, his family said today. Specialist Korry McClanahan, 25, was set upon and beaten outside Steel Creek American Whiskey Co. in Tacoma, Washington, where he had been playing pool with a friend on Friday night. The father-of-one's family are now holding a bedside vigil at Madigan Army Medical Center, where doctors were forced to remove a piece of Spec. McClanahan's skull to relieve swelling to his brain.

The attack happened after Spec. McClanahan and his friend, also a soldier, stepped outside the bar to smoke and they were approached by a group of men, speaking in Russian, spoiling for a fight.
Spec. McClanahan, who had only moved to nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord from Fort Hood, Texas, a few weeks ago, tried to walk away from the confrontation but the group 'bum rushed' him, according to his friend. He was punched so hard in the face that he was knocked instantly unconscious, hitting his head on the sidewalk as he fell. The soldier says the men then piled into a black Infiniti G35, model year 2005 or 2006, and sped off into the night.

'He doesn't look like my son right now,' his mother, Lisa Senecal, told KiroTV through tears. 'No mother, no father, no family should have to go through what our family is going through. They don't know what the long term affect is going to be.'

'If someone is going to put his career to an end, they should also have their career ended and receive justice. I think they should be brought to justice plain and simple,' cousin Bradin McClanahan told Komo News.

I suspect two things, or a combination of both.
1) Either the two young men had been involved with the Russians in the bar, first, or
2) They were wearing something identified as US military, who the Russians intensely disliked.
So, blame the victim. Got it.
Is this article accurate? I’m assuming you were there holding the Russians’ coats, so you saw the whole thing.
Thanks, turds, for letting this filth into our country.
Busting the skulls that Americans don't want to bust.
Etc., etc...
I wonder how many non Russian speakers would recognize the difference between Russian and something like Serbo-Croatian?
I’m guessing not many. I dated a Serbian woman and heard her speak both and I couldn’t tell the difference.
Russia isn’t a 3rd world sh!thole. Its a first world sh!thole.
I suspect two things, or a combination of both.....”
Neither of which justifies this in any way, shape or form
Rather than Russian mafia types, I would suspect muslim filth from a Russian area.
Seems odd. How did they know it was Russian and understand what they were saying.
My son is stationed there. I just sent him this info.
He was warned to be careful the area is hostile to servicemen.
What? We can’t blame the Amish for this one?
I will add my prayers to this thread instead of arguing over what happened.
God- I pray to You in the name of Your Holy Son, Christ Jesus. You say in Your Word that where two or more gather in “My” Name I will be there also (I hope others here will join me in prayer for this young man). Lord I humbly ask You to intervene and help to heal this young mans body. I ask that You have Your Angels surround him and protect him, that You will guide the medical staff overseeing his care and direct them in what to do. Please bring comfort to his family and friends. I ask this in the name of Your Son, Christ Jesus. Amen. And Lord- I thank You for Your love, mercy and grace.
This has been going on for decades. Bush Sr was importing muslims, Clinton imported them from all sides of the Yugoslavian mess. Under the most recent Bush administration, Poles were shut out of the immigration lottery and replaced them with more muslims.
Time for some fellow GI’s to go bear hunting??
Not branding all Russians with this, but there is a strain of brutality in Russian men; think of the drive of the Red army as it raped its way into Germany and Berlin, wreaking revenge on civilians.
