The beating of an elderly woman with a brick outside her home has rocked the city of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Now, there is a city-wide search for that beating suspect.

[image loading]

Stitches, bruises and gashes remain on Shirley Gordon’s face after she literally fought for her life while being beaten with a concrete brick.

“I don’t understand how some people can be so mean,” she said.

“He was beating the stew out of my head with that concrete brick wrapped in asphalt,” she said. “I asked him what have I done to you? And he kept beatin’.”

Apparently they caught the guy, some 14 year old kid, was supposedly trying to get her debit card.

What do you even do with a person like this? There's pretty much no hope for him. He's clearly going to be nothing but a cancer on society his whole life.

Not sure what sort of responses a thread such as this is supposed to elicit? A horrible story of meaningless violence a good topic does not make.

I think the reason it's a bad topic is because he didn't really put any critical questions down, like how will they deal with the kid etc... I do agree though, I don't quite like this forum looking like CNN and less like a place to discuss events. Would you agree a more critical question would be better suited with the story?

That is utterly disgusting. Sometimes these idiots dont even realise that by doing things like this they are perpetuating the damn stereotypes that stop their fellow black man trying to rise out of the gutter. It is hard for alot of people to treat black people the same when every other week you here of something like this happen.

On a side note that woman is one tough cookie.

Ahahahaha, sorry I dont know if that was intentional.

I really do not understand people like this. He attempts to steal a debit card in the most sloppy and immoral manner imaginable. Lets say he succeeds, he has a debit card with no pin, I would presume.

Perhaps the focal question is whether people believe this guy should be tried as an adult or not.

This is not news, these kinds of thing happen all the time all over the world. There isn't much to discuss.
