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.
Yeah, Thanks 0, for putting a target on crazy @zz crakas/woods/whatever we're called, now.
and because the rap artists and the race baiters give them permission, killing whites is cool now....
So we better wait for the facts to come in before we judge the innocent lambs who did this.
On that topic, the innocent lambs' mothers came out today and said "Our sons are innocent, and were trying to get their lives together. After a few scuffles with the law for armed robbery and assault."
Tonight on Al Sharpton live, interviews with the TRUE victims. The mothers of these "falsely accused young children of color."
Our first guest has a statement on how racism and the legacy of slavery led to the so-called dead man's death.
I hope someone takes these wild jackals down and quick, before 0bama signs them up for the 'forced racial integration program' he has in store for all predominately white neighborhoods throughout America.
Yes but stirring up racial hatred is only one of the means to an end.
". . . some key [events] exacerbated the national debate, fraying trust, and national cohesion just a little more each time . . . The two-party system that had governed America . . . began to fall apart . . . interest in politics took the place of all other forms of news-related entertainment . . . politicians were the celebrities . . . [Politics/ideology] was becoming such a habit, the reactions so automatic, that [journalists] taking sides on every news story became inevitable."
.. I just can't avoid thinking about this from for Love & Liberty by Robin Young and it's about 1857 America.

This report made me think of my father’s brother, 92 years old, carrier pilot in WWII, dropping bombs on Iwo Jima from his TBF Avenger. He’s very independent, lives alone in his apartment, spry yet stubborn as all get out, drives the Los Angeles freeways (!), has a great sense of humor, and loves kids.
He doesn’t like to talk about WWII at all. But he has, to a limited degree, and the few stories he told were disturbing.
I worry about him, but he won’t have any of it. The world he knew has completely collapsed, completely vaporized, being changed into an unrecognizable, godless zoo.
If punks like this were to kill him, I’d spend whatever time, money and resources to see that justice was served.
Black on white crime starting???
Guess the LSM finally realised that the camera don’t lie and had to admit the truth.
89 year old WW2 Vet?
Can we just start shooting these thugs at will?
There was a thread yesterday about Quantrill and his raid on Lawrence, Kansas. I’m not sure people realize that the climate in this country today is quite conducive to exactly that sort of brutality. There is hate and a lust for blood in the hearts of many. Safe to say this is true on both sides, but I believe the blacks now have this as an essential part of their self-image and cultural legacy. Gettin’ Whitey is what they are brought up to do.
So what happened to the story that the feds are going to pursue GZ for federal civil rights violations?
Nooooo.. It’s a “gang initiation” don’t ya know. That gets them out of the hate crime charge. Chalk it up to lawyer tactics. I hope this man’s family is out on the prowl for these pieces of excrement with limbs.
I would say it’s just motion blur.
Can’t imagine there’s any law enforcement or prosecutor in Spokane who’s going to give these ferals any slack.
Blacks amount to 2.3% of pop in Spokane.
Yay¿¿¿
It’s all funny til the bears claw them or pull out a gun and end their feral, rabid, mangy life.
There is zero evidence to support that.
Gangbangers kill their own families on a pretty regular basis. These thugs may indeed he racist, but anyone weaker and isolated evokes a blood in the water instinct.
