Homeless man listed critical after beating by 3 in Riviera Beach

RIVIERA BEACH -- A homeless man was in critical condition Thursday after being severely beaten by three suspects at a convenience store pay phone, police said.

Thomas Kotowski, 36, was found bloody and nearly unconscious Tuesday night outside the H&M Discount Beverage Store, Riviera Beach police spokeswoman Rose Anne Brown said. He remained hospitalized.

Authorities were looking for three suspects, described as young men or teenagers. No motive had been established.

The attack follows the Jan. 12 beating death of a homeless man in the Fort Lauderdale area. Three teenagers have been indicted on murder charges in that case. Brian Hooks and Thomas Daugherty, both 18, of Plantation, and William Ammons, 17, of Fort Lauderdale, also face charges of attempted murder in the beatings of two other homeless men.

1. Why don't
People who like to fight anyways, but have character,why don't they form roving gangs and look to catch and beat the living shit out of these thugs who beat up homeless people?

Something like the bullykill skins?

6. But do we really want those sick little fucks over
in Iraq abusing innocent people in our name? Not me!

They need put away for good. Let Helliburton throw them in those new detention centers. We're paying their subsidiary enough. :grr:

8. Think about it. They wouldn't go and fuck with anyone who
could fight back or they didn't outnumber. They'd be too damn cowardly.

11. I'm not sure I understand your reply acmavm.
They are beating helpless people almost to death here. Why would you want them over there fucking with those that can't fight back?

"They wouldn't go and fuck with anyone who could fight back" The elderly, the children and the women couldn't fight back so that is exactly who those fucks would go after because they are cowards.

Am I just being dense here? Please clarify your statement.:shrug:

Thanks!

12. I am saying that the last place you will ever find these punks is a place
where there's a damn good possibility that they may be the ones to get their asses kicked. Iraq would fit the bill perfectly. That is one dangerous place, too dangerous for the likes of scum like this. Those people fight back.

Therefore you will only see them here, in this country picking on the homeless.

5. It's bad enough one dumb ass but three working together.
where are their brains? Where is their compassion?

Bet we're gonna see another kid say he really didn't mean it in court, cry and act like he's a victim since he didn't mean to nearly kill someone. Seems like I just saw it again last month.

I don't get it.

7. That is why
You need to be intolerant of bullies and beat them senseless for abusing people for kicks. Make it too "costly" for them personally( as in break thier goddamn bones) to bother to get thier jollies and kicks from abusing vunerable people.

13. Cruel people are typically abused at home
by parents or guardians.

15. Many have suffered varying degrees of abuse
and not turned into animals, in fact quite the opposite has happened in many instances. From their own pain, some have learned compassion for others. My guess is these beasts were likely spoiled rotten brats with parents who often covered for or defended their own simply because of an accident of birth. I have seen this happen when teachers or other authority figures have attempted to help/intervene in the lives of bullies who exhibit anti-social behaviors...The "not my sweet son" denial sets in, and society is left to deal with the monsters that this kind of non-reasoned response engenders. I hope they get their butts kicked sideways while serving time for their abject cruelty. What sorry excuses for humanity our culture is producing.:mad: :puke:
