A heroic father-of-two who suffered fractured facial bones after he was brutally beaten for standing up for a bullied 14-year-old boy said he would do it again despite his extensive injuries.
Wen Jones, a 43-year-old former Marine from Jupiter, Florida, was at the beach on May 19 when he saw Zion Wright being picked on by three older men.
When he told them to back down, the trio - Cody Moore Roon, Tyler Dylan Carswell and Eric Michael Deiter, all 20 - allegedly attacked. The men have now been arrested.

You think Matt Drudge is going to run this story? Hell no, this man is a HERO!

[JI7]

1. good for him

what's going to happen to the 3 punks ?

[kalisto2010]

2. They'll probably invoke stand your ground.

Attacking someone you have a disagreement with is the only pretext needed for them.

3. Wen Jones: a TRUE hero. eom.

4. Why the fuck should "race" matter?

He saw a kid being attacked, the kid's father was also being attacked, why they fuck should he have considered pigment to make his decision?

Why the fuck do you think pigment matters at all? An attack on a kid and his dad is just that. What are you trying to imply?

A black dog just bit a white dog. White dog bit back. Both are dogs. How the fuck is that relevant at all?

I can't help but think you see "race" as a reason to attack/rank others.

6. Your answer is in the news story (see link in original post)

quote:

"As well as kicking sand at him, his father, LeRoy Wright Jr., told the Sentinel that they used racial slurs against the boy, who is black."

[Igel]

14. Yup, race mattered to the racists.

Since it's important to then, it dictate how we view it.

I always like having my views dictated by racists. It's so much simpler that way--everything's black and white, with no nuance or shades of gray, and no need to actually think. Leave the thinking to our ... inferiors?

[mythology]

34. I think it makes the information pertinent in context

Because it would have been easier for the guy to walk away, to just "not" see. But instead he made a choice to do the right thing.

13. +1

[kalisto2010]

15. I think this post went WAY over your head.

You're right, race doesn't matter. This thread was a parody on how Matt Drudge would of covered it (That's why I put the Siren). So calm down, and exhale, and direct your vitriol at the criminals who did this, and not the guy who pointed out the facts. Tough guy.

[malaise]

19. Because it was a racist attack

They happen with regularity

[etherealtruth]

22. Hurling racial epithets at someone prior/ during the act of attacking them doesn't = racial motivation

I suppose in the bizarro world this may be true

[freshwest]

5. Cool dude. I hope the three bullies get a long prison term for acting like a pack of wild dogs.

They should all be removed from civilized society. I doubt much will be done; they appear to be entitled brats.

Kudoes to the 'former' Marine. Although most I know have character traits that would have existed with or without their being in the service. But their training gave them an ability to make a difference.

May he recover soon as well as the teen and his father. Such criminality must be stopped and it was a godsend that he was there to act in defense of the young boy and his father.

Best wishes and respect to Mr. Jones.

7. Was he holding back?

Hard to imagine a man with rigorous military training would get beaten up that badly by a bunch of punks. Damn fine of him to stand up for the kid regardless.

[Schema Thing]

11. watch less tv

[Egalitarian Thug]

20. +1 Sound advice. I think that many Americans are so indoctrinated that they

can no longer discern between reality and fantasy.

[Politicalboi]

28. Don't they all have

Kung-Fu grips?

[Fastcars]

12. Key words; Former Marine

Article only says he was a marine, not how long ago. At 43 he could very well be 20+ years removed from his service. And with today's mixed martial arts craze the three thugs may very well have more extensive man to man combat skills than most military members.

[wild bird]

21. No such thing as a former Marine.

I entered the Marine Corps in 65, I still consider myself a Marine, I will go to my grave as a Marine.
Once a Marine, always a Marine.

SEMPER FI.

[Aerows]

27. There are some men and women in the Marines

that I wish we had more of.

I've only known a few, but they were and are some outstanding people.

[wild bird]

32. Almost every Marine I served with durin my 8 years in the Corps,

were great people, there were a few assholes, but they were few and far between.

[MH1]

18. read the article and look at the pictures

at least one of the "punks" has done some serious gym time. Wouldn't be surprised if there were steroids in his pee test, either.

[Oakenshield]

35. Yeah, I noticed that one.

Still, don't Marines have some hand to hand training? I would have thought it'd come in handy but I guess not.

[Rebellious Republican]

8. This will not get much traction...

some one in the south and WHITE will not get much attention. This thread Will die a quick death.

[Aerows]

25. I'm Southern to my core, and white

I applaud this Marine, and wish we had more like him.

You should be ashamed for casting aspersions on a man that did his best, was harmed, and still defended another.

Frankly, you are the problem, not this man that stepped up to the plate.

[Rebellious Republican]

30. you missed my point altogether.

After this post you will not see it get much attention here or kicked or Recommended. Thanks for sharing and trying as you might to kick it back to the top.

[Aerows]

31. I do my best

and I have a Marine that is a family member, and will always stand behind him.

[Iliyah]

9. It can if people paid attention but alas

this is a good feeling story about a man who did the right thing and nowadays especially on the DU being negative is the in thing.

[Ash_F]

10. Steroids and racism. /nt

[Berlum]

16. A DU Salute to an honorable American, and a Marine

[Aerows]

23. Exactly. n/t

[rl6214]

17. There is no such thing as a former marine

Good man.

[Aerows]

24. They are some good

human beings that I wish we had more of!

[treestar]

26. What a crew of assholes

So they attack someone who comes along to try to get them to stop what they are doing. Savages.

[Turbineguy]

33. Back in the days when

college tuition was cheap these thugs could have joined the College Republicans.
