Some of the people, none of the time
Gang of Philly hoodlum youths beat Vet senseless for no reason at all. He was just standing there, waiting for the bus. Another case of “SWW"*, what city cops call “random acts of violence”.
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A Vietnam veteran who lost his eye while serving his country was violently beaten during a random attack by a group of teens on a Philadelphia street earlier this week.
The attack happened shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday in the 5000 block of N. 5th Street in the city’s Olney section.
“These animals are specializing on our elderly people out here and a gentleman who served our country,” Lt. George McClay said.
According to investigators, 64-year-old Edward Schaefer was walking to meet his wife at the bus stop when he was approached from behind by six males.
McClay said one of the suspects began the violent attack and the others joined in on the random beating.
The whole thing was captured on security cam video and can be seen at the above link.
The suspects are described as six black and Hispanic males, between the ages of 16 to 18. Authorities say all of the suspects have been identified. Once they have been apprehended, they could be charged with attempted murder.
Good news, bad news: cops rounded up the thugs, but are only going to charge two of them, and of course one of the two charged doesn’t fit the general demographic of the others, who are getting off with no charges filed at all.
PHILADELPHIA - Police have identified four of six teens seen on a videotape moments before a Vietnam vet was savagely beaten on a Philadelphia street. Police say that only 2 of the 6 teens in the video will be charged. One of them is in custody.
A 15 year old Asian boy who is the last one walking in the video is expected to be charged with aggravated assault and robbery. Police tell me he confessed. His mother turned him in.
Police told Fox 29 the attackers did it “just for fun” as they try to determine who was involved in the attack Tuesday night in the city’s Olney section.
Edward Schaeffer, 64, was simply walking to pick up his wife from the bus stop. Now, he lays in a hospital bed with a fractured skull and other broken bones.
The beating comes just days after Temple graduate Kevin Kless was beaten to death in Old City.
Kate Schaeffer and others who live in this neighborhood are stunned by these vicious beatings.
Edward Schaeffer works with the Boy Scouts and helps get veterans jobs. He never said a word to the teens, according to detectives.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
