in downtown Jacksonville, Florida.



One of the suspects blamed the attack on Borkum — a stranger — having “dissed” their “dead homies,” the reports said, without elaborating.

The attackers were seen “rummaging” through Borkum’s backpack — and then returned around 20 minutes later, kicking him “multiple” times, the report said. In total, the same suspects were seen “battering the victim three separate times,” the police docs said.

Borkum was born in Syosset and worked at the WTC as a consultant on the 77th floor of Tower 1.

He was let go in July 2001, meaning he “narrowly escaped death” months later in the 9/11 attacks where “his coworkers perished,” according to his obituary.

He lost his wife, Celeste Borkum, in 2009 while she was on a humanitarian visit to Africa

19 Muslim terrorists with planes are less dangerous than black American teenagers.

It makes you wish there was the death penalty for juveniles...

Kill all three of them. Swiftly. They are of absolutely zero value to the human race and have proven they can't exist with the rest of them. Just remove them from the population permanently. Nobody can give me one single reason why that's not a good idea.

Yep there are some violent hoodlums
who commit horrendous acts. That’s been the case for decades, sadly.

So 3 teens ( one of which was 12) decide this guy needed to die

They are so fragile. Good god. The stereotypes exist for a reason. Truly a soft group of people

Just some poor disadvantaged youth that need some direction in life. We must feel their pain.

A certain percentage of the U.S. population are nothing but feral savage animals. About 15% roughly.

Yes, but they disproportionately fit a certain profile.
