Two men and a teenager in Florida are behind bars after they attacked a disabled Navy veteran who was trying to protect a turtle that they were torturing, according to police and the vet's family.
"Three suspects were arrested in Florida Tuesday after attacking a disabled Navy veteran who tried to stop them from torturing a turtle, police said.
Gary Blough, a resident of Wedgewood Apartments in Daytona Beach, said he approached the suspects as they were slamming a turtle down on its shell near a pond inside the apartment complex. He said he tried helping the turtle back to the pond when he was attacked from behind, a local Fox News affiliate reported."
�He had the turtle like this, slamming it down,� Mr. Blough told the station. �Somebody has cleaned up the side walk now. It was covered in blood.�
�While I had my head turned, two of them started hitting me in the back of the head and punching me,� he said. �Next thing I know we�re in a scuffle, and I�m fighting three of them at the same time defending myself.�
Mr. Blough said the three suspects knocked him on the ground and punched and kicked him repeatedly. The suspects continued to beat him until neighbors came out and the suspects ran away, a local CBS News affiliate reported.
Mr. Blough, who told officers that he was seriously injured in the Persian Gulf War, suffered broken skull and facial bones, internal bleeding and a concussion as a result of the attack, CBS reported.
Daytona Beach police arrested Johnnie Beveritt, 18, Ryan Ponder, 23, and a 16-year-old boy in connection with the beating of Mr. Blough. All three are charged with aggravated battery and animal cruelty.
As for the turtle, police officers found the reptile floating in the pond, dead in a cloud of its own blood.
�The animal likely suffered greatly during the time it was being battered by the three defendants,� an officer wrote in the arrest report, CBS reported.
After reading something as disgusting as this, I despair for humanity. We keep hearing about how enlightened and compassionate we've become as a species and then these types of fuckers show up and disprove that theory completely.
But for the record. I'd pay good money to watch these 3 assholes beaten to death with a turtle shell which, without a doubt would be a fitting end to their pathetic, depraved lives on this planet.

Me, them, a propane torch, a boxcutter, and a pair of pliers.
Anyway hopefully these three psychopaths get the hammer.
That's pretty solidly fucked, racial agenda of the posters of this story notwithstanding.
I don't make a habit of defending the Huffington Post, but you need to chillax, Snowflake. They didn't make anybody torture turtles.

: That was a joke... except for the turtle hunting part. My dad made a mean turtle soup.

Why does the turtle hover around people's heads like that? Probably what got him into trouble in the first place.
