BUFFALO, N.Y. -- An Iraq war veteran who lost an arm and leg in a roadside bombing was mugged during a night out from the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, according to an Associated Press report.

 

Lance Cpl. Mark Beyers, 27, and his wife were attacked and robbed as they left a restaurant in Bethesda, Md. on July 22.

 

The Marine from western New York was dining out while finishing up rehabilitation at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

 

As they left the restaurant, five men approached them and asked for a cigarette.

 

Denise Beyers told The Buffalo News they gave the men a cigarette -- but then the men grabbed her purse and kicked the couple to the ground.

 

The thieves made off with $500 just wired to them by a relative.

 

Mark Beyers expects to be back home in the Buffalo area this weekend.

I am really losing faith in society...

It's Bush's fault. If we hadn't gone to Iraq then he would have never lost his arm or leg and they probably wouldn't have attacked him.

:lol The sad thing is there are actually people on this forum who think like that.

I know, just thought I'd do my good deed and earn my gold star for the day by going ahead and posting that. :mischief

Look, everyone isn't Jimmy42Jack20 on this board.

 

That's just a fine old stupid comment.

 

The guy got mugged plain and simple. Its just as bad as if he were mugged if he still had an arm and a leg.

since you are obviously pointing that finger at me...let me just say this...this article has zero to do with the war and everything to do with the fact that there are sh*tty people everywhere on this earth, not just the white house

its jimmy42jack0 ill have you know...unless you would rather me refer to you as B4P

Despicable.

 

It's bad enough that he was badly injured in combat at that age, and now he's robbed. Ugh.

The fact that some of you would make this political, is laughable. You claim to be disgusted, yet you seem just fine to make a joke about it, I'm SURE you really care about this guy.

 

Yeah, it's us who have the problem.

Mugging = horrible

 

Mugging an amputee = disgusting (any concience at all?)

 

The fact that the guy fought for the country puts a sore on it... but its not like the mugger intentioanlly attacked a marine..

 

Anyway.. Just be glad the guys OK!

amen...that all i have to say...no matter what society someone is from, there will always be sh*tty people to ruin it...i hope and pray that this guy somehow wins the lottery to make up for it...and im being serious for those to doubt me...remember...i support the troops in whatever it takes for them to come home to us...in case certain people forgot on this board

:plain

I don't follow jimmy jacks posts, but I keep seeing him get slammed before he even comments for being a democrat... No one is bashing you before you talk... ease up guys

im neither democrat or republican, because i believe in what george washington said when he said that political parties will ruin this country...i tend to be more liberal because i dont believe in what current conservatives believe in, but i do believe in in such things as the death penalty and im against abortion and so forth...but i also believe there is another side to every story which deserves some sort of representation...but i will never support violence in any form from any group of people irregardless of race, sexualty, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or what have you...after all...the golden rule is to love thy neighbor...not love thy neighbor only if they agree with me and maybe...that is overly optimistic...but in this f***ed up world we live...a little opmitism might actually help some people instead of giving them a reason to hate and cause the senseless violence that occurs everyday around the world

Jimmy Jack is one of the better/funniest posters on the site.

 

But thats just my opinion.

All of the muggers should be sent to Iraq for this and play the role of "human sheild".
