TheBlaze 8/23/13: There was shocking news this week of World War II veteran Delbert Belton getting beaten to death by two teenagers in Washington. Glenn Beck expressed shock today over the news, but even more shock over how little the media seems to care about this news. He obliquely referenced the Trayvon Martin case and how President Obama weighed in on it, but has not yet weighed in on other local cases that may have been hate crimes.
Beck said it wasn’t just Belton’s murder, but the murder of Australian baseball player Chris Lane in Oklahoma by three teenagers and the murder of Tennessee resident David Santucci (which one of his family members believes to be a revenge killing for Trayvon Martin).
In the latter case, Beck was amazed that police described it as a "failed robbery," declaring it unequivocally to be a hate crime, saying, "They just shot him to shoot him."
