agreed to give them money when he apparently took too long to find it,
according to the Seattle Police Department.
Officers were called to 10th Avenue East and East John Street last Thursday
night to find the victim bleeding heavily from numerous severe cuts to his
head and suffering from a concussion and a possibly broken jaw.
According to the police report for the incident, the victim was muttering
unintelligibly and was unable to put together full sentences.
A witness who had called police told officers he was walking by when he saw
three people kicking the victim while he was on the ground.
The victim eventually settled down enough to talk to officers.
He said he was passing by a large group of transient youth sitting on the
sidewalk near Broadway and East Olive Way. He started up a conversation with
three of the youths, two men and a woman, who eventually asked him for
money.
According to the report, he agreed to give them money but took a while to
find his cash. While he was searching, he said the three youths started "
smarting off" to him for taking too long to find the money.
He told them he just wouldn't give them any since they were being rude.
According to the report, the three youths became angry and chased the
victim up East John Street, where they knocked him over and started kicking
him in the head. One of the youths dragged the victim to some stairs, put
the victim's head on the edge of a step and stomped on it, according to the
report.
The victim told officers the three youths kept demanding all of his money.
And, he eventually lost consciousness.
Neither the victim nor the witness was able to provide officers with a good
description of the suspects.
The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center for his injuries. | l****n

去买 booze。不知该不该信？不过以后真的心里就有疙瘩了。

记得Professor最后的结论是，善款还是要捐给慈善机构比较合适。 |
