A former World Trade Center worker who “narrowly escaped” the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks has been beaten to death by three teens — one of whom was just 12 at the time of the attack, according to officials.
Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found “severely beaten” just before midnight on Oct. 19 in Downtown Jacksonville, FL., after three teens were seen “kicking and stomping” him, according to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

There's pics of the perps, but you don't need to see them. You already know.

If this happened on Oct 19 why is it just now being reported?

Sad, very sad. I hate to say it; the state needs to try them as adults and when convicted have an automatic appeal to the state supreme court then put them in the chair and send them to their MAKER for HIS judgement.

12 years old. Tough ticks. Ya play with fire. You get burnt!
How about stop using the word “allegedly”. There are witnesses. The attackers were positively identified.

After reading the article, even with the photographs of the perpetrators blanked out, the facts of the assault and common sense will tell you that it was just another instance of young homicidal and very violent Black perpetrators “kicking and stomping” an elderly White person without giving a crap if they murdered the victim.

the prayer to St Michael, ArcAngel ends with:
and do thou o prince of the heavenly host , by the power of God,
thrust into hell satan and all the evil spirits
who wander through the world seeking for the ruin of souls.
This, friends, is where we are at.
Fight fight fight.

"Narrowly escaped" Sept 11 attacks? According the same article, Borkum was let go as a consultant at the WTC in July of 2001.
Still, there must be a reckoning for Borkum's painful final moments on earth. And yeah, the mug shots of the perps are no surprise.

The dude Marcavion doesn't look too friendly. I doubt he was just turning his life around when someone did something.

Feral children. Likely growing up with drug or alcohol addicted parents, well maybe parent. Still no excuse and they need to be prosecuted and put in prison for a long, long time. My sympathies to Mr. Borkum's family.

We need to pray for these boys. God can turn them around.
That's not what I would do, but His thoughts are not my thoughts. And we can all be grateful for that.

Those pigminted "teens" don't do that in Texas. Know why? Many Texans carry guns and will shoot to kill the "teens". ...same goes for Florida and many other Red States.

Why are there teens out on the streets looking for people to beat up and kill? OK, dems, how are you going to blame Trump for this one? But don't worry. A liberal judge will give you community service. After all you are just kids. Right and wrong, what's that mean? I am so sorry.

Jax is a mean town these days. Used to not be like that, but that was 40 or more years ago. The usual vermin, of course.

FTA: Some context fo those who missed it:
He was let go in July 2001, meaning he “narrowly escaped death” months later in the 9/11 attacks where “his coworkers perished,” according to his obituary.
Those words were in this poor man's obituary. Surely he must have believed that his being laid off in July saved his life which would hae been lost along wwithhis colleagues on 9/11. Most of us would view that as Providence.

When they put a term like "narrowly escaped" into the headlines in quotes like that, you can basically take it to mean it wasn't really a narrow escape. At least the article openly pointed out the euphemism. What fries me is when the incorrectly used phrase is not in quotes, and not explained in the article.

The three youths appear to be sweet Black Cherubs. Maybe the Teacher Unions should teach them behavior and civics instead of social sciences.

Those dirt bags should be put in cells with some Buba's and taught a few lessons before going to the chair.

What's up with the stomping thing? I keep hearing about feral Blacks "stomping" people's head while they are down. Is this a cultural thing?
