One of the news reports stated she was 67, though it has not mentioned in many of the others.

Everyone has been posting “elderly woman” as a victim, but I have not seen in any news reports, even on different stations that this was an elderly woman. It doesn’t matter if she was elderly or not because the fact that he hit a woman makes him dispicable.

I can just imagine if the victim was between age 20 to at least 60 of maybe a little bit older being called elderly could be amusing to her or maybe not.

Not trying to cause a ruckus, but just wondering why everyone was calling her “elderly” unless they knew her.

Thug looks kind of worried, do ya think??? Bet that wasn’t the look on his face when he beat an elderly woman as she was leaving church last Sunday night.

From robbing a Pizza Hut to beating elderly women at church, some momma must be mighty proud of her teenage offspring.

Another useless waste of air we’ll have to support for years to come.
