Granny-Beating Thug Caught and In Custody
The New York Post is reporting that police have arrested the man who allegedly robbed and beat two elderly women in Queens last month. 44-year-old Jack Rhodes has been identified as the push-in robber and granny beater. The nearly six-foot-tall man weighing 200 pounds mugged two women for a collective $65, beating 101-year-old Rose Morat until he broke her cheekbone. The robberies solidified public opinion against the perpetrator, with legislators proposing special penalties for crimes against the elderly and 25,000 police officers viewing the surveillance tape of Morat's assault.
One of the two elderly but resilient women identified their attacker in a lineup. 101-year-old Rose Morat recently met Mayor Bloomberg and police commissioner Ray Kelly with 85-year-old Solange Elizee to suggest stiffer penalties for crimes against the elderly. We hope Morat is given a minute alone with the man who robbed her of $33 and beat her, so she can give him a piece of her mind as well.

Man, you KNOW this guy isn't gonna get out of the police station without a beat-down. Plus, when he heads to jail, there's gonna be a lot more trouble waiting. What do you think his fellow inmates are gonna do to a guy who's in for beating down a 101 year old lady? Oh man, that guy better never drop the soap...
What a jerk.
Excellent news for an otherwise dismal day.
The guy supposedly has rap sheet that goes for days. Whatever happened to 3 strikes and you're out? Take his ass out back, I'll pay for the ammo.
i think he should be sentenced to be the old lady's butler for life. with surveillance, of course.
I'm waiting for the posts that say the old lady was uppity and totally asking for it. Or that she should've been more humble.
The news that this poor excuse of a human being has been caught proves that there is a glimmer of justice in this world.
this poor person must have had it rough in his life to do this. That old white lady must have been his father's slaveowner. Reparations!
those old ladies were uppity and totally asking for it. they should've been more humble.
He is going to suffer the consequences big time now. He going to be stuck living like a pig in a little cell eating lousy food and locked down 23 hours a day for many many years. He is going to suffer and that makes me so glad.
Wow, didn't surprise me it was a niggah who did it
And even if she did call him a boy or a dirty nigger.......He's gonna hit an old lady? Evolution wasn't kind to him as far as aggression.
I have been to jail for minor things. ALl I know is this guy is going to get fucked up by his own homies. Forget agbout white vs black, he going to get beat up by both sides
Where is Al Sharpton? Shouldn't he be threatening to march or protest or shoot off his fat mouth or something? After all, this was an inter-racial crime. Where is Jesse Jackson? Oh... wait. I see. The victim was white so, even if she was 100 years old, this thug was justified in beating and robbing her because of all the evil done to blacks over the years.
It's all so simple, isn't it?
