Teenager k**led WWII veteran, 91, by setting him on fire

An 18-year-old man k**led a 91-year-old Second World War veteran by beating him, then dousing him with gasoline and setting him on fire.
George Steward has been sentenced to between 30 and 60 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder last month. Steward, of Detroit, murdered his next door neighbour Paul Monchnik by beating him and setting him alight, the Detroit News reported.
The victim’s son, Scott Monchnik, described his father as a ‘good and gentle man’.
His life was brutally taken from us by a monster. The terrible sickening feeling I get thinking that my dad’s last hour on Earth was filled with horror and pain, worse than anything he went through in the war.
This man (Steward) has created a hole in all of us that is filled with anger and hatred, fear and loss. You have taken something that was not yours to take.

A tragic story, but it does not belong in Main Photography Discussion.

It's hard to understand how a human being could do this horrendous crime. Hope KARMA will remind this kid every day of this murder.

NO. He needed a father. He needed a family. He needed hope. He needed to not live in a Democrap $hithole.

Only a fool ignores the tragedy to make a stupid political remark.

Many grow up without fathers and good and safe surroundings and never do criminal acts. The K**ler has a dysfunctional brain. It may sound cruel, but the old punishment to fit the crime would require that this man be significantly burned and allowed to live his life out in prison in a cell with mirrors. Cruel & unusual punishment, yes and while not legal, it surely sounds just.

You folks are just like a lynch mob.
You get all worked up because the victim was a veteran. Does it matter what he was? Would you care if he was not? Probably not.
Hypocrites.

In case you did not read the article, the fire was set after. The murder was premeditated as the convicted murderer had purchased a small amount of fuel before committing the crime. This was to destroy the evidence.
On once again... WHO HAS THE ROPE? How about the torches? The hoods?

You make a good argument against h**e crimes, murder is murder and destroyed families feel the pain no matter the motivation of the crime, it is the crime that should be punished and not the motivation, if someone were to k**l my son, I could care less his motivation the hurt would come from the loss of my son, and I would feel no less pain than someone else whose love one was k**led in a so called "h**e crime".

I agree but there is no excuse. Some people just have no heart what so ever

Hmmm Second degree murder for such a heinous crime. While a white cop in Atlanta gets charged with First degree murder for doing his job based on lies from a Black District Attorney. Where are the r**ts in defense of the 91 yr old man and the Atlanta cop? How many folks here are going to pin me as a r****t because they can't handle the t***h?
