CAUGHT ON TAPE: SOLDIERS BEATEN IN SEATTLE
Michelle Malkin:
Captured on video: The July 31 beatings of two American soldiers who had recently returned from Iraq took place in Seattle's Pioneer Square. That's also the location of the fatal beating of a good Samaritan, Kristopher Kimes, during Mardi Gras riots in 2001.
Seattle police are now asking the public for help in identifying the fugitive suspects, who stomped on the heads of the unconscious soldiers after savagely attacking them in a reported dispute over their dates (whom one of the attackers allegedly groped at a nightclub). Both victims reportedly suffered broken jaws, while one sustained a broken arm. Both had other broken bones and several bruises.

What sort of soldiers are they if they can't fight back?
In an ideal world the US Army would spend more time teaching unamrmed combat, but they have always had higher priorities.Only SpecOPs tropps get much of it.
Apparently the two soldiers were black.

Maybe Mr. Stuka will step up to the plate and start kicking some ass to set an example
This story is sickening, to say the least. Unlike some, maybe, I've been in that area of Seattle so I pretty much assumed on first seeing the story that the victims were black as well -- it's just that sort of area in Seattle. Also, more than any possible inter-racial angle, I thought this story (apparently -- I don't know the full circumstances) highlighted the truly savage nature of too many young black men.
Also interesting: if you read the Malkin story linked to, you'll find another link, "whitewashed", to yet another Malkin post about newspaper censorship, where the lame policy of the Washington Post regarding publishing descriptions of suspects is outlined. This is also, in its own way, sickening. Why have a policy at all? Why not just print descriptions when they are available, and if not say so? Whether a description is "useful" or not. Wouldn't that be simpler than making up some policy to decide which facts are 'fit to print' and which aren't?
Of course the real reason descriptions are not printed is that doing so would reinforce the largely correct impression in the minds of whites that non-whites, especially blacks and Hispanics, commit a significantly disproportionate share of violent crime. And this might lead them to question the aggregate value of "diversity". Which I guess some people think cannot be allowed.
