Mentally Challenged Man Beaten to Death
tags:
Stumble This"In a shocking discovery, this brutal and graphic video has just not been posted to the internet. It is a video supposedly taken from December of 1984 in which Bobby J Blythe, a karate "master instructs his student to brutally beat an individual who is seriously mentally ill. This man was later discovered dead in a dumpster and Blythe was never charged.
The instructor Bobby J Blythe had this to say about the incident:
'This dummy was in my shopping center while I was on a Bodyguard Job in Washington, DC. This guy was in the Pizza Hut eating pizza off the plates of others and the Pizza Hut Manager ran him out with a pistol. Later the very same day, police officers were called to remove him from a nearby pharmacy after having been caught reaching into customer's purses. A short time after that, he visited a Napa Auto Parts store next to my Karate Dojo and told the management he planned on teaching in that Dojo and that Jesus taught him.
'The Napa guys told him he was confused (their polite way of warning the man against such action), but not wanting to miss a show, they told the man they would close early just to watch and that he must not know the owner, which is nobody to play with.. Needless to say, the police pulled him out of the dumpster behind my Karate Dojo where he was neatly placed. Semper Fi to all my Marine brothers. The karate student in the white is also a Marine Sgt. and a brand new Black Belt. Never get stupid with a Marine, you could get jacked up and have your clock stopped.'"

Holy shit. This is one of the most chilling things I have ever seen.
If this story ever gets made into a movie or a book, I think it could be really interesting if put in the right hands and given the appropriate angle. What a travesty.
EDIT: Shoot. Didn't realize i don't have any more points.

I am so fucking mad right now. This did not have to happen.
you should see the conversation and uprising this is causing on both Reddit and Digg

Just read the early stuff. After a while, it becomes a reddit/digg dick-measuring contest. Thank god for the sift.
I just watched a man being murdered.
I just watched a man being murdered.
Me too.
Murdered for sport.
By a bunch of Marines.
"Semper Fi" my ass
Charge those two for murder.
What about the people who stood there and did NOTHING? They should be charged with manslaughter or something.
That's a cold-hearted cruelty I've never seen before.
The closest thing I can think of is this guy in my home town who used to like to get into fights with people and try to bite their noses off.
Watching that just broke my heart.
>> ^Drax:

True enough, that was my knee jerk post. No matter what they where told before hand someone should have intervened when the guy said, "Take this mother fucker" if they hadn't arleady.
This is completely fucked up. How much shit like this happens that DOESN'T end up on tape?
Also, Id like to know the story on how this tape got to the net.
edit-Christ I just read the guy posted the video himself.. WTF? If that's true, the mentaly handicaped person is the one who lived.
i have dealt with marines.
most were awesome,professional soldiers..marines.
then you would run into a marine where something must have broke in them during training.
made you a bit uneasy around them.
i am afraid of noone,but a crazy person?
they scare the bejesus out of me.
a crazy person has no boundaries,no point of control.
the mentally ill person was not the crazy one.
i know marines...that was no marine.
he was a crazy person.
god..this video makes me feel like weeping.
One thing I will never understand is how someone could do this to another. Just another reason why I find it impossible to believe in a compassionate God, right now I want the vengeful bastard from the Old Testament to come collect blood in retribution. People like this don't deserve to exist. There is no punishment for people like this, and if Hell does exist, it's still not enough.
getting the word out,passing the information along is important.
this happened in 1984.
thats 25 years where these sadistic and fatal actions took place.
25 years of no justice.
is it real? did this actually happen?
i would rather be on the side of enthusiasm rather than be cautious and allow this to go un-noticed.
sometimes you have to look horror in the face in order to battle it.
Upvoting the cause, not the actions.
I hope that goes without saying. If that wasn't the case, we'd all be as guilty as the people who were in the room and did nothing.
1) I would rather not have the image of someone being beaten to death in my head
&
2) We've reached our data allowance at work so it'd cost 15c a Mb to watch it.
But from reading about what it contains it sounds pretty darn disgusting.
The reddit thread has a lot of cyber investigation going on trying to track down those involved.
It would seem that Bobby Joe Blythe posted this video with great pride. And has another video of what he did to the person who fought this man afterwards because he took 'too long' to down him.
What a disgusting individual, and what disgusting individuals all who were there.
It will be interesting to see if this turns out to be some sick hoax however as it's quite odd this coming out like this now...
Also, there are some reports (although it would seem only from BJB) that the man survived this and ended up in a mental institution.

Thanks for the denouncement. We don't care.
Until these assholes are properly arrested, arraigned, prosecuted, convicted, confined, and sodomized, let's all just focus on this:
Edit: from the Reddit postings, it's unclear whether the victim survived or not.
When video evidence of a crime being committed surfaces, the correct course of action is not to deliver it to the authorities but rather to post it to aggregate video sites under the self-imposed guise of a justice-brandishing vigilante.
Then again, as always, I am glad of the reasoned and intelligent conversation to be found on the Sift. Thanks to folks like nomino, EndAll, and MrFisk bringing these things to light. It may not be a happy topic, but an important one.
I hope those guys rot in jail.
As for the black belt "Marine" who decided to go past winning the "match", there's probably about 3 million other black belts -and more than a couple Marines- out there that want to kick your ass. You have no honour.

I don't understand why they thought that was necessary.
Pure ego. Martial arts in the US is full of charlatans and egotists. Blythe created a world for himself in which his ego reigned supreme by opening a dojo. Someone came along and threatened his personal self image and he reacted murderously.
Aaaaand, I didn't watch the video. I can't watch that. I believe it's important that it exists but there's no reasonable excuse for me to watch it.
Also, he can not be sued because you can sue only withing a specific period of time after an incident. Which might be 10-15 years. Also, the guy didn't die.

Just the fact that this man uses his former Marine background as a resume indicates that he lacks any substantial success in his life. He's created a world for himself in which he's important by opening a dojo. Someone came along and threatened his personal self image and he reacted murderously. I'd guess he had very low self esteem due to domestic violence until he joined the Marines and found an identity.

Well said...
The only info that seems to be missing is the victim's name.
>> ^fjules:
The story behind this is that the handicapped guy kept going around the mall and trying to steal stuff. After that he decided that with help of Jesus he will become a karate master and decided to take on the local karate club. People were pissed at him and naturally beat him up.
Yeah... naturally. If he did any of the things that they said, he clearly deserved being almost stomped to death.
Go back to liveleak.
Snarky, sarcastic comments from Sensei White Trash.
Karate Kid-ish statements from the victim.
Blackbelt Marine attacks victim, I would say almost unprovoked, the victim claimed to be just doing a non-contact exposition, not a fight. The victim obviously brought a SuperSoaker to a gunfight. What he says is so out in left field, you don't need to know Karate to realize he's full of shit.
There is actually a fight, and the victim actually gets a couple decent hits in, but more dumb luck and speed than anything.
The victim gets pushed into a corner, and shoved by a couple students, but he is still on his feet, and DOES "say uncle". The fight should have ended there.
Blackbelt Marine still hammers away at the victim, knocking him down, possibly unconscious.
THEN THE PIECE OF SHIT, DISHONOURABLE, FUCKTARD STARTS HEAD STOMPING THE VICTIM.
Finally BM gets called off by the REST OF THE STUDENTS, not the Sensei, who is a bullshit fucktard in his own right for letting it go that far.
Then we are treated to a closeup of the 1/4 inch wide, non-stop trail of blood from where they dragged the victim outside.
There's NO reason for these people not to be punished. "Law Enforcement" has all they need for this one.
These assholes have probably gone on to have happy, productive lives, with families, jobs, vacations, weddings, and all the other joyous occasions we all want to enjoy in life. I wish I could go back in time to every happy moment those fucktards had in their lives since 1984 and play this video on a projector, just to constantly remind them of what they did (or allowed to happen).
And I know "violence is never the answer", but I wouldn't mind taking on that pussy black belt and teaching him a thing or 2 about a thing or 2. He wouldn't last 5 minutes where I grew up.
I really hope the rumors of him not having died are true... I don't want to think I just watched a snuff film.
Did you not hear the "death-rattle" ? That was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen/heard.
This is the definition of a snuff film. They filmed the murder of a 'homeless' man (stomping his throat, in addition to other injuries). The whole event was for sport and using someone who wouldn't be missed.
They filmed the blood trail.
It sat underground for decades probably as a snuff film.
How the fuck is this allowed? But you have issues with a car wreck video.
He was dead by the time he hit the back door with that broken trachea.
I'm disappointed to see this here.
A sifttalk post would have been sufficient.
"Also, he can not be sued because you can sue only withing a specific period of time after an incident. Which might be 10-15 years." - fjules
There's no statute of limitations on murder (or attempted murder/manslaughter).
i think the importance has over-ridden VS rules.

in this case, all we've done is look horror in the face.

it doesn't change the fact that this is the scariest seen i've seen in a long time, but snuff film is probably not true. attempted snuff film i'd say.
apparently he lived and didn't press charges the following day. i hope that is true. that is what the black belt's son is saying on some message board:

Just because his son said so, doesn't make it true.
Can anyone provide a reasonable justification for this being here, outside of satisfying morbid curiosity?
instead of turning the guy to the side, they dragged him out on his back means that he drowned in his own blood.
THIS IS A MURDER!
Sure, no one did shit afterward but don't gimme that nonsense like everyone in the room is a brutal murderer.
Wait... why is it the fat white guy's fault? The guy doing the beating killed him. He clearly lost control and couldn't stop. No one was egging him on, no one told him to stomp on the guy's head.
Sure, no one did shit afterward but don't gimme that nonsense like everyone in the room is a brutal murderer.
That "fat white guy" lured him to the dojo, set up the match, let the brutality occur, issued the command to have the body taken out back, filmed the blood trail, then uploaded it to his Youtube account 25 years later. You don't need to pull the trigger to be a murderer. Charles Manson, Hitler, and Judas are so reviled yet who did they kill?

Here we go.
Two main guys charged with murder, then the ones who dragged him out, also summarily charged with murder.
The rest who stood there doing nothing? Accomplices to murder, I would say they would be charged with Murder as well. At least conspiracy to commit, or maybe accessory to murder.
Did I mention how utterly stupid this is?
Also:
- Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_(legal_term)#United_States
Those people are subject to murder charges.
That is murder, right there. No jury in the world wouldn't convict a person for the soulless shit that fail of a HB did right there. If the dudes still breathing, atemped, what ever. That mar the far king piece of sht had won about a minute before that knee kick, and carried on just because his teste rage had to avenge the dude knocking him down earlier. Not a human who is safe to, or deserves to, be part of the general population. I hope he dies alone in a box.
Of course I realize nearly all of the people who up-voted don't see it as entertainment, but are outraged by the event. And if this were presented as a news story that would be completely valid.
Still, I think anyone who would want to watch this, knowing it's contents, and knowing damn well that they will never personally do anything to bring about justice, is motivated by some morbid curiosity. And we shouldn't be encouraging that. Really it is disgraceful that it hasn't been removed yet.

Thanks for the annoncement. We don't care
And we don't care that you don't care. So.. there.
This is snuff. We have set precedent earlier. There is no newsworthiness in the embedded video other than as documentation, and we've discarded that before. See http://www.videosift.com/video/Sknyliv-airshow-disaster-Anniversary
I can also see a reason for keeping it: The video itself has shown the power of internet video. However, I don't think that's a good enough reason to keep it, because the power of internet video is already pretty well established. That's just my opinion.
Just to be clear, I still think the death of Neda should stay, because her death has become symbolic of the Iranian struggle for freedom, just as much as the Burning Monk became a symbol of the Vietnam War. Neither deaths are ordinary, if you'll excuse my usage of "ordinary" in this case. History has already judged both deaths as significant in the course of human events. It wasn't me, or you, or any one person here who did that. The world sometimes collectively reacts the same way to events, and especially to images of events, and before you know it, it's in the history books. Like it or not, history works that way sometimes.
Anyway, this poor dude's death, however sad it may be, probably doesn't belong here because it doesn't hold any special historical significance, especially since the police are now involved with the case. Now it has become just another random American homicide, which happened to be caught on video. So if someone's going to tally votes, count me in the "remove" column.
As for the black belt "Marine" who decided to go past winning the "match", there's probably about 3 million other black belts -and more than a couple Marines- out there that want to kick your ass. You have no honour.
I can attest to that.
Holy shit. This is one of the most chilling things I have ever seen.
I've seen worse in MMA, honestly. If you guys think this is bad...you don't know much about the sick, twisted world you live in.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_guys_1_hammer = why we should have the death penalty.
Should I tally votes or just get it over with and discard? I'll give it until tomorrow, then I'll count it up. Someone could bring in dag, if you want, but it's a pretty clear case.
I found these that explicitly through comments were against having this rule
EndAll, MrFisk, joedirt, phoen1x, ReverendTed, Maze, albrite30, entr0py, blankfist, Sarzy, kronosposeidon, gwiz665.
Plus the downvoters, I presume, but I haven't counted them in.
If this is allowed to stay, the snuff rule is as good as null and void - we have discarded other sifts which were no worse than this.
"People will decide by votes" no they won't, that's not the way it works. The rule is there to suspend any voting on something like this.
If you want to serve a "noble purpose", replace the embed with this one, an update as of August 22nd...
I hope they catch them.
