American Soldiers attacked in Seattle...police need your help

[Joseph_Botwinick]

SEATTLE - Two soldiers who just returned from a year in Iraq were badly beaten in an attack outside Pioneer Square. But believe it or not, someone caught the beating on videotape. Now, police are asking for your help identifying the suspects.

The brutality of it all was captured on tape outside of Larry's Nightclub on First and Yesler on July 31.

Police say the victims were with two women who'd been groped by the suspects. One of the women threw a hot dog at the suspects and walked away.

They didn't get very far. The three suspects ran after them and began attacking the two men -- two soldiers who'd come home from the war.

The graphic videotape shows both victims getting beaten over and over again, and then after one of the victims loses consciousness, a suspect starts stomping on his head.

Now police want your help in catching these guys.

"We consider them very dangerous," said Seattle Police Officer Sean Whitcomb.

Seattle is a city that illustrates both the barbarity of some of it's citizens and the kindness of others.

Diners have sweet surprise for soldier, girlfriend

Christopher Yanez, a reservist who spent a year in Iraq, took his girlfriend, Liz Coleman, to Canlis on Wednesday night to celebrate their one-year anniversary.

When Chris Yanez wanted to take his girlfriend out for a special dinner to celebrate their one-year anniversary, he chose the venerable restaurant Canlis, perched high above Lake Union.

Yanez, a soldier returning from Iraq, knew the dinner would be pricey. What he didn't expect is that it would be free. And he also didn't expect that when he walked out, the place would be in tears.

I saw the video tape and it made me sick. You can bet that alcohol played a part in this. This was a drunken pack of jackals and I pray they get these losers.

Well,

That didn't work out quite well. I will try something else.

I was going to try and post pictures of the suspects, but it didn't work too well.

Larry's Greenfront is an old skid road eatery/bar and maybe 5 miles from Canlis. Don't get the connection.

Second, No one has claimed that these GIs were in uniform. Only thing the tourists would have seen is 4 black males duking it out.
