Vigilante mob allegedly beats, kills wrong man
| Quote: |
MARSHVILLE, North Carolina (AP) -- An angry mob fatally beat a man whom they mistakenly thought was involved in the disappearance of their friend, shortly before police arrested and charged another person in the crime, police said.
Union County Sheriff's deputies found Tony Lorin Blakeney at his home with serious injuries Friday. He later died at a hospital.
Ten men, ages 16 to 30, were charged with murder in the attack. They were being held without bond until an October 4 court date.
"This is the worst beating attack I've ever seen," Sheriff Eddie Cathey said.
Authorities said they don't believe Blakeney was connected to the disappearance and death of Patrick Antwone McClendon.
About a dozen of McClendon's friends and family members learned Friday that Blakeney found on his property a car that the missing man had used.
The group arrived at Blakeney's home, accused him of complicity in McClendon's disappearance, and began punching and kicking him, authorities said.
A Union County Sheriff's detective responding to a 911 call from the home arrived to find a hostile crowd. When officers finally secured the scene, they found Blakeney on the ground, seriously injured.
Investigators later charged Leonard Lomart Staton, 18, with murder and kidnapping in McClendon's death. Stanton also provided information that led investigators to McClendon's body in a wooded area next to the Blakeney residence.
Authorities believe McClendon had been dead for several days and that the killing did not occur on the Blakeney property. They recovered a small-caliber handgun believed to be the weapon used to kill McClendon.

"Lomart" and "Antwone" are names usually associated with America's central cities. That would mean this story is more of a gang retaliation than a vigilante group.[quote] |

I already told you in the first sentence (though you are one of the people who I respect on this forum. Even when I don't agree with you, your answers are always well supported and thought out). The mods kept throwing my posts from Off-topic into here. I was actually hoping ot stay away from here using the off-topic, but sometimes I do want to post articles like this one so... |

Actually, it wasn't. I think you are kind of freaky, but not a moron. Seriously. |

Naw, you're not a moron. Maybe a tad eccentric, but certainly not a moron. |

That was very jinjurious of you, Rafal. Why don't you get some manners? You call people from NC animals, but you're the one that always acts like the jackass. Is troll an animal? |
