WWII vet, beaten by teens outside Eagles Lodge, dies

SPOKANE, Wash. - WWII veteran Delbert Belton survived being wounded in action during the Battle of Okinawa only to be beaten and left for dead by two teens at the Eagles Lodge in Spokane on Wednesday evening.

Belton, 88, succumbed to his injuries Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Witnesses say Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him as he was about to head inside to play pool.

Police responded with K-9s to track the suspects' scent but were not able to locate them.

"It does appear random. He was in the parking lot, it appears he was assaulted in the parking lot and there was no indication that he would have known these people prior to the assault," Spokane Police Major Crimes Detective Lieutenant Mark Griffiths said.

Belton died from his injuries Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years. Belton's wife passed away several years ago.

He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.

Shorty was Ted Denison's best friend of 23 years; the two played pool occasionally and worked on cars daily.

"He was always there for me when I needed him," Denison said. "We'd joke back and forth. We were always having fun, some sort of fun."

He was the kind of nice old man who'd become your friend in minutes.

"Probably every time I come into town, he'd have a project for me to do," Denison said. "I thought of him more as a dad than I did a friend really."

Now, with the suspects still at large and the Spokane Police Department working to track them down, Shorty's friends are hoping for justice.

"I don't understand how somebody could do this. I really don't," Denison said.

Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old. One suspect was described as heavy set and wearing all black clothing. The other was described as being about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. There was no description of what clothing the second suspect was wearing other than a silk do-rag.

Police investigating the deadly attack on Belton have also obtained surveillance footage from the scene.

But why is this type of thing seem to be getting more and more prevelent? if the parents do not care about their childrens lives enough to guide them and know what they are up to then they should be treated as adults and if they want to act like gansters then they can get death sentences like gansters, just another reason to always carry concealed in this day and age, and as long as I am ranting they are cowards as well shot the aussie kid in the back and beat to  death a 88 year old man.... freeking chicken $hits

Sad stuff.

It's a lack of parents/parenting. I have 2 in training roaming my neighborhood right now. Mom brings a "boyfriend" home...or possible a few a day and the kids are sent out to get lost. They roam my neighborhood all day on skateboards and on foot. It's sad how these two boys (probably 7 and 10 years old...or about there) already act like little gangster thugs. They ride down the middle of the road in front of your car and just stare you down, been just walking up people's driveways to peer into garages. I know it doesn't sound all that bad, but you gotta see the kids. It's in their eyes...it like there is already no soul left in these children.

Okay, we got 3 black kids who beat the hell out of a white kid on a school bus, then we got 2 black kids (not sure about the 3rd one involved) who shoot a white guy in the back while he's out jogging and now we have two black guys beat a white senior citizen to death. I see a pattern here. Does anyone else think that maybe blacks are starting to retaliate over the Martin/Zimmerman thing?

From what I've seen it's 3 blacks in the shooting of the Aussie too. But we're the racists haters for even thinking like that!

^^^^ I couldn't agree more. What "good" are these scumbags ever going to do in this world?

 

We all know the answer to that. But that's why WE'RE all the "racist" ones. Not the ones actually doing the violence.

 

And people wonder why I hate society in general............................

What a heartbreaker. Kids think they are though till there caught then they cry like a baby.Then you have the sociopath with not a shread of remorse.He's with his wife now together again.

 

Yep I've made and seen more than my fair share cry when I put those nice heavy stainless bracelets on them. Last teenybopper that got stupid and ran and hid got some face time /  one on one time with a county K-9. That dog got a mouth full when he found him ( felony burglary ) sad thing is that kid still had attitude and it was my fault he got into trouble. When in court and he was sentenced  to the states juvenile prison, those big ole crocodile tears just rolled.  Sad thing is the K-9 was still licking his ass to get the taste of the teenager out of his mouth. These teen's nowadays are just as violent as some of the habitual drug sellers and users I deal with.  I am sad to see any man have this done to them especially a veteran. I hope they find them and make them pay.

:laughing4:

 

When I was still working corrections, our prison complex contained the Minors Unit...teens sentenced as adults (hundreds upon hundreds of the little phukers).

 

For their 18th birthday they all got the same party.  Into the unit vehicle sallyport at 2355, van rolls out at midnight, into the appropriate adult unit at 0005.

 

Totally different 'tude come breakfast.  :eek:

Doesn't realize that K9 was a lot better then running into a home owner like one of us and end up with possible lead poisoning.
