That Horrible Thing Out in Washington

From the August 27, 2013, Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph Herald "Teenage held on $2 million bail in beating death of WWII veteran" by Nicholas K. Geranios, AP.

Demetrius Glenn, a black 16-year-old  is being held on $2 million bond and another black teen, Kenan Adams-Kinard, was arrested in the same case Monday. The two beat 88-year-old World War II veteran Delbert Belton to death in a parking lot at the Eagles Lodge in north Spokane while he was waiting for a friend.

It appears that Belton fought back, which increased the severity of the attack.

Mr. Belton was wounded at the Battle of Okinawa.
