    93-Year-Old Man Beaten With Cane On Gambling Cruise
    Thats pretty fvcking low


    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Police are searching for a man who attacked a 93-year-old man on a gambling cruise ship.

    Jim Yu's family said the elderly man was attacked in a bathroom on a Sun Cruz Casino, and beaten so badly he ended up in a hospital.

    Investigators said it appeared as if Yu was not only targeted because of his age, but also because of his winnings. The elderly man had about $1,500 in cash in his wallet.

    Family members said they were sick and disgusted at the crime committed against their loved one. They said Yu was on the ship celebrating his daughter's birthday.

    "He went all the time. I can't believe this just happened on his daughter's birthday. I'm really, really upset about it," said Yu's family member Andy Tuy said.

    Family members said Yu was having a lucky night before the attack.

    "I guess he was using the restroom, and then they took the cane and hit him in the head a couple times and he tried to block it so he got hit in the hands and there're bruises to show for it," Tuy said.

    Family members said it would have been almost impossible for Yu to yell for help because he does not speak English.

    Yu was released from the hospital Thursday after spending two days recovering from his injuries.

    "He's 93-year-old, so he just kept to himself. But every time he smiled it just made me happy because it was just the small things," Tuy said.

    According to police, Yu's attacker was seen by a witness who told officers he saw a man throw the wallet overboard.

    "It's very sickening to hear about an elderly person, who in most cases are defenseless against little young thug like this that wants to take advantage of a person. So, if we're able to make a case, we want to make sure that he's prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office spokesman Ken Jefferson.

    Police said it would be hard to prosecute the case because a suspect was seen throwing a wallet overboard and explained the blood found all over him by saying he was trying to pick up Yu from the ground.

    "When he was approached by security he allegedly throws what we believe to be his wallet overboard, getting rid of all the evidence," Jefferson said.

    A corporate spokesperson for the Sun Cruz Casino's main office in Hollywood, Fla., said the case is under investigation.

    You have to be low on the life spectrum to beat an old man.

          I was thinking the same thing while reading the story.

          What happen to the thugs? They threw the wallet and themselves off the ship? Bunch of dumb ****s targeting an 90 years old man.

          Yeah real tough!

            Being old and having money in casinos don't mix.
