This is one of the saddest stories of the year. George Leroy Baker III, 81, left Tempe, Arizona to celebrate his granddaughter’s wedding in Lynchburg, Virginia. Walking across the street to a diner from his hotel, some teens allegedly beat him to death for fun.
The three teenagers were walking down the street when one allegedly said he would beat the first person he met — to impress a girl. Baker walked right into the dare and died for it.
The teens included two 16-year-olds and a thirteen-year-old. They have been charged with murder but their names have been withheld.
Baker appears to have been a wonderful father and his family must now deal with this tragedy at what should have been one of the happiest times for the family.

Are you honestly claiming the Semper Fi … half my relatives were in the Corp and none of ’em would claim you … based on your posts at any rate …
We always spelled it “durk” but I will acknowledge your preference for the scabby dirk …
Carry on … I’m off to the local football game ….
I’m always happy to put my money where my mouth is, how about you sloppy.
I stand by every word and rhyme I have made on this forum
you somehow find that Bud is not a hypocrite even though he states that murder out of revenge is okay but revenge is not okay
an opinion forget out of anything but logic is invalid
what about a rape victim having an opinion that all men are rapists
is that illogical? I fucking well think not as far as she is concerned, no logic in that opinion, just personal experience and pure emotion.
what about the book argument: people write thousands of books every year demonstrating their free thought and their attitude to making it up as they go along – to prevent themselves from writing books about “making it up as they go along” – how stupid do you need to be to believe this?

USMC? Oh really? So which is the lie? Researchers for TV, 12 years old or Marines?
As someone who had an uncle die in Vietnam working Marine artillery, you’re doing a perfectly disrespectful job representing the Corps. Either you’re a filthy liar appealing to patriotism or they certainly have lowered their admissions standards if you’re a Marine.
FAIL(11): Doesn’t substantively refute the argument as presented.
If you are a Marine, which I sincerely doubt, I hope you can fight better than you can reason and argue. Then again, there is always a need for cannon fodder.
As to “welcome to the war peace loving mother”? Do these ring a bell? (I really doubt it.)
“Together we must learn how to compose difference, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose.”
Or this one:
“There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.”
Maybe this one (aw, who am I kidding):
“I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.”
Still stupefied?
All these are statements of Dwight D. Eisenhower. A greater warrior than you’ll ever be, sport.
If you’re a Marine? You’re a disgrace to the uniform. As it is you’re simply a shit talking blow hard without the brains to poor piss out of a boot with instructions on the bottom.
Or you could intimate violence again and wave the flag some more.
I really find that hilarious.
The Corps wouldn’t have a moron like you.
Sloppy
you have nothing to say
the evidence has been made clear, BUddha steted both sides of an argument after slating someone for takign one of the sides, this makes him a hypocrite, the fact that you support his position makes it no less untenable
A group of 12 year olds very quickly rubbish his opinion on logic and his rediculous [point on books being designed to somehow prevent people from having a free say or “making it up as they go along” is not worth delving into
he is a racist and your supporting his position can mean one of two things, either you are stupid as he is, or you are him and therefore your opniion is as futile and pointless as his/yours
I would be amiss if I didn’t mention at least once that I’m reasonably happy with this turn of events
Rhubarb (and the rest),
Since I showed that Buddha is not a hypocrite (or at least that you haven’t given us any evidence of his being a hypocrite) and you don’t seem to be able to make any sort of logical case to the contrary you are clearly either a liar or an idiot (my money is on both…).
Bakersfield,
I don’t really care if there are four of you, forty of you, or if all of you are just some pathetic loser living in his parent’s basement – in this venue the only thing that matters are your words and your words have shown that you are a liar or an idiot that makes accusations that he/she/they can’t defend. But if you guys truly are Marines, then remember that you still can’t tell until the law is repealed…
Sloppy Dig Dog
blueish?
over to you bud
erm well.
not really much to say to that is there.
unless you lot want to state something i missed LOL
we are better than you and always have been
we can do what you cannot
we go where you do not
we have been where you have not
we do not rely on books or second hand opinions, we learn first hand and at cost to ourselves
bud, just for the record
logic will get you killed in this world son, the Scots boy has you dead and done.
Logic coubnts for nothing compared to experience and that gut feeling that you cant quite put your finger on
so when the little guy tells you that the snake is a bad MoFo, you don’task for logic, you just step aside and move on
*snicker*
we even give you clever people clues to help you
our name is legion?
the constant references to we, more than one
but the arrogance is just to ingrained isn’t it.
Bluieish, whilst it might be conceded that you have a tartan skirt you are as much Scottish as Bush was and about as smart
Bud, you are a fucking liar, you are a hypocrite, a racist and a fucking liar and I defy you to say otherwise, you and your fucking FAIL(7) shit – i might acce[pt you are Irish on account you are as thick as fuck but on no other terms
*laugh my fucking balls off*
Blueish
sloppy
onion head
and the rest
so now you know, so fucking stupid you disdn’t have the sense to ask, there are over 40 of us and have been as many from the start
hats off boys,
no one asked
why didn’t you just say so?
USMC
Bakersfield + Rhubarb what is it you do?
what is the big secret you allude to?
are we having a burns night Blouise?
since you’re kind enough to quote him, perhaps you’d also like to explain the inspiration for “wallace’ march to Bannockburn”
or maybe you’ll accept you’re just anothwer lastic Jock
What is it about Americans, not one of them is a Yank, they’re all too busy being Irish on Paddies day and Scottish on Burns Night etc and so forth
But hey, America is so generous and yet so maligned lol
