Great-grandmother beaten, burned in her home dies weeks after attack (Georgia)

MERIWETHER COUNTY, Ga. - An elderly woman who was beaten and burned inside her Meriwether County home has died weeks after the attack, the county's coroner confirmed to Channel 2 Action News.

Dorothy Dow, 83, was lying in her bed when three men and a woman kicked in her back door and attacked her in early August, according to police.

"These suspects began to demand money from Miss Dow. She pleaded with them that she didn't have any money. They began to brutally beat her,” Sheriff Chuck Smith said.

The family said Dow’s right and left arms were broken, and she had cuts and bruises all over her face.

The sheriff said the robbers then poured a flammable liquid on the victim and lit it.

Dow did everything she could to survive and call for help.

"She remembered she had a gallon of water she filled her breathing machine with. With those broken hands, she took that top off the gallon of water and poured it on her head to put out the flames,” said her daughter-in-law, Beth Dow.

Dorothy Dow then managed to crawl to another room to get her cellphone and call 911.

She was in the hospital in critical condition for weeks and died Saturday afternoon.

"That part's not real. We still can't put our hands around...that she was murdered," Dow said.

Society may not be able to, but armed homeowners will.

Use of arms to stop home invasions often leads to the arrest of the homeowner. In short, society and its institutions favor the criminal element. You may use a gun but you will find little support.

Only thing I was wrong about was the victim. I had guessed black on black crime instead of black on white crime.

I believe it was first used when Allen was mayor and working on big projects. The bus rides were causing headlines and he said Atlanta was too busy to hate

I don’t recall whether Ivan Allen coined the phrase, but it does go back to the 1960s when Atlanta was trying to set itself apart from other Southern cities, particularly “Bombingham”. It was probably more a result of Martin Luther King not wanting to crap where he ate than any real liberal tendencies, although Bob Woodruff did pull strings from his plantation in south Georgia where the black help was well behaved.

Depends upon the state and the local DA.
After having been robbed and shot in 1975, and still carrying a bullet near my spine, I WILL use them at my discretion.

18, Shanquavious Keontrell Cameron. I call the people I work with who have names like this, “Scrabble.” Most do not understand the connection. I told one young woman it was because her mama named her by dumping some letters out of a scrabble bag and lining them up. She didn’t understand.

It long predates the 96 Games, and Ivan Allen from the 60s, when nearby Birmingham was firehosing black civil rights protestors, sounds right.

Where the hell do they come up with these names?

They probably got those names from listening to Shirley Q. Liquor.

You must have read the article. They are in jail.

Someone who can manage it should offer a nice monetary reward to any inmates at that jail who can get hold of the perpetrators and give them what they deserve. This is a situation where organized crime can really become a public-service organization.

My point is . . . that this is hardly generating any publicity

And yet Thugvon’s justifiable homicide STILL makes news

Home invasions by blacks will increase. Blacks are increasingly aware that society is unable to effectively deal with them. In short white society is being conquered. In one sense the article relates what is known as a sack.

This is why I try really hard never to be out of arm’s reach of my guns. People, especially the elderly, who live in proximity to groups known to include a high percentage of criminals should either relocate or arm themselves and get psychologically prepared to pull the freaking trigger until the ammo runs out. Unless, of course, they would prefer to die.

I hate to think his mother was really that stupid. I'd like to think she was on crack.

If I were on the jury, I would happily give them the death penalty.

And if you shot any of them for looting, it would be “killed over a television set!”

“She didn’t understand.”

I hope these people aren’t allowed to work on anything important.

I will ask my standard questions: What were these idiots thinking? Did they really believe they were going to get away with it? Did they do a cost/benefit analysis, what they thought they would get vs what the punishment would be if they were caught?

Some people are too stupid to breathe, and should be stopped.

If you don’t believe that, ask George Zimmerman.
