Attack caught on tape

June 14, 2007

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Police were searching for a man caught on videotape attacking a mentally disabled man with an aluminum baseball bat, causing injuries that eventually killed the man.
The suspect is seen on a surveillance tape approaching James McKinney, 41, from behind, swinging the bat full force and striking McKinney in the head. McKinney was knocked to the ground, his head bleeding from the blow.
At one point McKinney rises up as an unidentified passer-by calls 911.
McKinney suffered massive head injuries from the attack May 29 in a residential area, police said. He died June 3.
Authorities said it appears the suspect may have been targeting people in the area.
"It's terribly disturbing that this individual appeared to be hanging out in this particular area for several minutes, probably up to five minutes, seemed to be looking for a victim," said Officer Karen Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department.
No motive for the attack has been determined.

One of those sick’o punks like those going around attempting to knock strangers out with a single punch while simultaneously video taping the incident for his peers. Seems this one's graduated to baseball bats.

Good argument for capital punishment, I say. I’m completely disgusted!
