The world is fucked!
Can't leave an old man alone?
BALTIMORE ? He was bludgeoned to death in his pajamas inside the two-story rowhouse he?d owned for six decades and refused to leave.
Wadell Tate was 97, making him not only one of Baltimore?s oldest homicide victims in decades but also a symbol of the relentless violence that has claimed 211 lives so far this year.
On Wednesday, Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh (D) is scheduled to announce her plan to tackle the record-setting surge in homicides.
ut whatever the city tries will come too late for Tate, a World War II veteran and retired refinery worker who still took a short walk every day before the July 21 burglary that left him dead.
?You?d think at 97, how much longer does he have to live?? said his daughter, Sylvia Swann, 65, pausing to wipe away tears last week as she and other relatives sorted through Tate?s belongings and prepared to bury him. ?They took away his right to die on his own.?
