    It's truly beyond my comprehension how anyone can make such an ugly, snide comment about a person who had been viciously attacked by street thugs.

    I guess you didn't want to take the time to read "f_socialism"'s post answering the question..... you should - very logical answer.

    What age did I read that these thugs are? Around 18 yrs old? They can fix their own disgusting lives and I have a newsflash for you - they're ALREADY criminals!

    When they gang up and beat someone, then run like the frightened little cockroaches that they are, they don't deserve hand-outs. The only thing they deserve is spending a lot of time behind bars to keep them away from decent people.... they'll get caught and I bet they won't be 'big, brave, rambo' types then.......

    Yes you can do something about it. See this is why I love black people in countries in Africa as opposed to blacks in America. Have you been to a country in Africa? There is a saying that the best way to fight violence is with extreme violence. They understand that. They also don't blame anyone else for their problems. In one country I've been to in Africa they were....to be nice....conservative at best. People cry in America about conservatism....imagine being in a country where just about NO ONE smokes, and its looked down upon. Drinking to get drunk is frowned upon. Religion is HUGE. I don't agree with the religious aspect but they handle business and deal with the people that bring them down unlike the blacks in America who scream "It's whitey's fault....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaah".

    No way! Those thugs are heartless bastards and no senior citizen should be made to have them around.....

    They belong behind bars, period.

    You know, that old saying "You do the crime, you do the time".......

    I simply questioned why his war vet status was so bloody important, when it has nothing to do with the reason he was attacked.

    Of course, but perhaps some volunteer work will teach them to show more respect in future. What respect will they earn in prison?

    Although it has nothing to do with why he was attacked, it is so bloody important because the guy fought for the freedom of these vermin's parent's right to exist and wrecklessly have children just so they could grow up and beat up the guy that made it possible for them to exist. If it happened to a regular everyday person these young criminals should still have to pay the most extreme punishment for attacking another fellow citizen, and a disabled one at that. The fact that he is a war veteran only makes it sting a ton more. If it was a cop, or a fire fighter I'd feel the same extra sting too.

    Interesting.... thanks for the info. I hope LiberalMinority reads this and realizes the importance of being responsible for yourself..... but not likely.

    There is nothing you can do. Even if you have a CW it doesn't stop people from committing violent crimes.

    You think everyone is John Rambo or something? Please.

    You are obsessed, just admit it. You have some form of OCD about the subject.

    Sigh......you are uncomfortable with the subject of lawlessness in Blue cities with gun control. I get it.

    Educate yourself:

    He was a Vietnam war vet. When was Vietnam threatening to attack the United States?

    Our ally- South Vietnam was under attack.

    Your nation was destined to be attacked by Japan, but we stopped them at the Battle of the Coral Sea and at New Guinea.

    There is no global 911, so states ally themselves with other states for mutual protection.

    I don't understand why America felt it had to go in and play babysitter to two countries. Hasn't it been said many times that the Vietnam war was a mistake?

    My nation, I do not believe, was in any danger of being attacked, and still isn't.

    first addressing his veteran status, yea he fought for this country so that they can live in it but his sacrifices meant nothing to them because they didn't benefit from the wars, only the rich americans profited from the wars like they do today

    secondly not enough money is being thrown at them they barely get any type of help from the government to keep them occupied and off of the streets because republicans don't want to pay any taxes to help them have youth programs so they don't get their entertainment attacking the elderly

    The veteran status had only to do with one thing, the way the news story was presented. Sensationalistic crap. These creeps did not beat the man because he was a veteran they beat because they are creeps.

    How would the South Koreans feel about that?

    Do they teach history in Australia?


    "During World War II, Australian territory was directly threatened by Japanese invasion, and Japanese forces attacked Darwin in Northern Australia and Sydney Harbour. In 1941, the ethnic Japanese population in Australia was interned, and most were deported to Japan at the end of the war.[2] Australian forces played an active combat role in battles throughout the Southeast Asia and South West Pacific theater of World War II, and a significant role in the post-war Occupation of Japan."


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia–Japan_relations


    I think liberalism thrives in an environment of general ignorance of history.

    Oh my gawd.... Mak, just let it go.... you don't understand.

    Here - read f_socialism's post .........

When a priest gets arrested for diddling little boys, they always mention that he is a priest. When a tv producer is arrested for bashing his wife's head in, there is a very good chance they will mention the fact that he is a movie producer.


    I think this is clear enuf..... the news always mentions the person's former or present occupation .... dancer, skater, chemist, doctor, musician, CEO, author, professor ..... even veteran.

    Who gives a (*)(*)(*)(*) what they do in prison, as long as they are off the street and not a threat to 64 year old veterans.

    You want to take criminals with a history of violence toward old people, and make them serve community service with......old people? :omg: Brilliant. :roll:

    People....no, certain people seem to believe that enless they are being directly attacked they aren't being attacked at all. When American interests are being attacked, guess what? America is being attacked. When American allies are being attacked, guess what? America is being attacked. Vietnam wasn't a mistake. You know what the greatest mistake of that war was? A portion of the American public that wanted us to lose and did not understand the implications of losing. We "lost" because of, the same group that brought you aids with free love and drug freedom, wanted to give up and go home. They had no knowledge of the world wide, dare I say WWIII proxy war with the Soviet Union. Nope, just a bunch of morons.

    So.....America was in grave danger. That man being a veteran of Vietnam is important. Heck if he was a veteran of any time and even if he didn't fight in a war I'd be super angry. That man has done more than any of the people who beat him up will ever do. The only thing they can do to top what he has done is if they just kill themselves.

    I'm an ******** I know, thank you.

    Dude, I live in Arizona. A youtube video isn't going to educate me. Let me explain something to you. I don't care who has a CW, in AZ anyone can CCW, I will do what I want, to who I want, any time I want. You could not stop me. By the time anyone realized what was happening it would be to late.

    It is delusional thinking to believe you can stop me or anyone else.

    I'm like O-Dogg "America's worst nightmare". Carry all the guns you want it wont help you. Every gangster on the street is armed to the teeth and it doesn't help them but some how you are going to be the exception to the rule? Nonsense.

    I may be wrong, but one time I was browsing here and there was a thread - can't remember the name of it, but I think it was about people remembering the day JFK was assassinated and what/where the poster was that day....

    Didn't I read your post saying you were in Viet Nam then?

    Am I right or wrong?

    Arizona is not a blue state nor does it have a blue city within it. Live in a blue state/city and come back to me. I'm just below the mason dixen line and yet I'm near a blue city. One of the most violent in our nation. Don't talk to me about that stuff when you are fortunate enough to live in a red state where you can protect yourself.
