...a White 64-year-old Navy Veteran was beaten and paralyzed by a Black man who broke his neck
The veteran is a quadriplegic now.
His attacker walked out of jail 3 months later.

She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment.
Multiple broken bones.
St*b wounds.
R*ped repeatedly.
Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out.
Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe.
Months. She was alive in there for months.
Say her name. Isabella Stroupe.
