Soldiers fresh home from Iraq brutally beaten outside club

was about to post it (i assume you found it on ebaums), since it happened in my city. yeah, pretty fubar.
 
Omg pieces of shit (not meant racist), but seriously, who'd do that?
The woman probably had a good reason to throw that hotdog at him.
Heh, a hotdog caused all this.
"What did she do?"
"She threw a hotdog at me."
"And did the hotdog hit you?"
"Ummm... no"
 
Saw it on the Drudge Report.

I was going to post it in politics but it's not really fitting, plus here it gets more viewings.
 
Wow, that's really... wow, there's no word for it.
 
wow if they get caught they are ****edddd, the soldiers shoulda pulled some crazy self defense and broke their necks and shit
 
They get shot at in Iraq, make back safely no injuries, then get home go out, and get injuries? WHAT THE ****....I don't even know what to say, all those little homo-boi's suck thats all I know.

I know, i'm speechless and kinda hurt, like, these soldiers coming back from hell and get their asses kicked by these bitches... sucks.
 
****ing scum...reminds me of a swedish beatdown that was recorded soem time ago..
 
I can't seem to get the video up and running from that site, any other sources?
 
****ing cock suckers.
They should be brutally beaten with bats.
God... They look like 50 Cent wannabes.
 
What does the fact that they were in Iraq have to do with anything. The suspects groped the girls and then beat up the two guys. I don't think the suspects beat up the guys becasue they served in Iraq, that was just a coincidence.
 
The fact that they just came back from a life and death battle to some shit like this at home. It actually does make a difference, veterans deserve the utmost respect, this is attempted murder due to the stomping of the head by the attackers, and they should be put away for life as is the maximum penalty that I know of.

I think people are surprised because we've got well-trained soldiers, come home and get their asses kicked by some fags.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, they were probably drunk and out numbered.

Yeah, that's what I am guessing as well. Most likely real drunk.

Yeah, it would have been better if they had done this to non-veterans. Like a nurse, cook, or garbageman. If the gang, or whatever, had attacked them soley because they were veterans that would be terrible, but in this case who gives a shit if they were a veteran or not.

No, It's just ironic and sad that they came out of Iraq without a scratch and then come home and get beaten up by a couple of nike-ad posers.

Yeah it is. I just hate the angle the media is using on this story.
 
WOW!! that just pisses me off.. who would do sumthing like that.. i dont even kno what to say.. i wish i knew who did that
 
I watched this on, I think it's called "KOMO news" from seattle last night, I think it's crazy, First of all, Who beats up some drunk solders? They HAD to know they were solders, who gets there hair cut, like military issue style? And second of all, Who keeps beating them up when there passed out? There stomping on these guys faces and pulling down there pants, while there passed out? These guys should get like 50-60 years or death. F*cking ridiculous.
 
They're ghetto gang banger types. No less should be expected which is sad, it's a problem that needs to be addressed on a huge scale, to clean up the country.

I guess this is our version of your chavs, England? Although there's a lot more violence I think from these.
 
why was it mentioned that they were soldiers? ..I was expecting this to be hate motivated crime instead I find a routine assault story.
 
I don't believe in hate crime laws. It's unfair that someone who assaults say a straight person gets away easy/for less punishment than someone who assaults a gay.

It's assault either way and both should get equal punishment, and I call for the upper end of the scale for both (depending on the severity of course, punch is different than battery, etc)

However this case is attempted murder due to the head blows. It's mentioned they're soldiers because we place a very high value on our vets and this is seen as an attack on more than just the two soldiers.
 
it's still assault and battery ..same as any other case. the fact that they're soldiers is irrelevant

Attempted Murder.

Kind of makes a difference. You're supposed to be respectful around war veterans, keep your actions in an obesiant manner.

This is also seen as an assault on the US Government, as they're probably still enlisted, along with the attempted murder charge comes government property destruction/assault on military.

It just is different, our culture makes it so. Just as it would be different for them to do it to an old man. But it's still the same thing? ... not really. It does make it worse, maybe not in a legal sense (although like I said this case they can prosecute for government attacks) but in a moral sense.
 
Their punishment should be confessing their crimes in front of the squad whom those two soldiers were a part of. Then they'll all of a sudden have a better sense of respect. If they live through it, which I hope they don't.

Like I said, the fact that they're soldiers who survived the Iraq war just adds to the irony of it all. And plus its not really irrelevant- the assailants will probably get a heavier sentance since their victims are in the army, which means they are considered "government property" (no, seriously :rolleyes: ). So basically the assailants are guilty of destruction of government property as well as assault/attempted murder.
 
Yeah, in basic my one of my bro's instructor's didn't do all safety thigns when he was demonstrating how to do the tower thing at Fort Benning. He fell off from high up, got hurt pretty bad, got in trouble for the safety violations/damaging government property (himself)
 
This should be in politics. It's no big deal in respect to other things happening...people get beat up? Yeah that happens a lot, they were soldiers?? Who cares.
 
i watched the video and the first thing that came to mind is how they could do this infront of a whole street of witnesses .. there was traffic moving on the street and nobody cared enough to interfere ? .

Anyone here would interfere? I doubt it we are a bunch of woosies:D That is sad if i was walking on the street and saw that i would have pulled out my glock a capped those triggers.
 
I know a soldier who was in Kosovo and some guys tried to start a fight with him in a similar situation, but he put them in hospital.

Just goes to show soldiers getting beaten up isn't all that uncommon, but I'd expect they could at least defend themselves against petty gangsters.

Not that I'm unsympathatic, I'm just suprised to see two soldiers getting beaten up.
And the fact that they are soldiers is irrelevant, the culprits should get maximum possible sentance, whether they beat up soldiers or private citizens. Who says a soldier who fought in Iraq is more honourable than any other random person? The law should not be sentimental when judging things.

you'd have to prove intent ..this was a random thing so it would never get to attempted murder

doesnt make a lick of difference, like you said: no special treatment for distinct groups (remember the hate crime thingy you said?)

they were probably drunk and their judgement was clouded....and they severely outnumbered too.
i know its easy for me to sit here and say that its sad that nobody helped these guys but quite frankly i wouldnt be able to live with myself if i was one of the drivers who witnessed this and just drove on ....if one driver form each of those cars came out to their rescue the gang would have dispersed .
 
Guys in the army aren't necessarily tough... or like, good at fighting or something.

Again, Hollywood clouds the mind.
 
Soldiers are trained to kill, not brawl.

Pathetic people, those offenders.
