Make it a Federal Crime to kill law abiding War Veterans in this country. A WWII veteran who fought at the Battle of Okinawa, where he took a bullet to the leg & continued fighting, was brutally beaten to death by two teens Wednesday night.
Delbert Belton, 88, from Spokane, Wash was pronounced dead Thursday morning
Two male teens pummeled Belton outside a pool hall in what police describe a random attack.
"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, who friends affectionately called "Shorty," enjoyed playing pool and working on cars.
