I don't think so this time. According to my diligent facebook research the guy was an ex soldier and combat vet. They don't usually stomp on their own.

Does anybody else hope deep down that the perpetrators are on our football team? If they were to get away with it, it would spell great things for the coming year. BCS-level great things.

this is no time for jokes, kicked.

although, what is worth more on the mcmw scale - 5 shoplifters or 1 murderer?  how about these 5 shoplifters against 2 accomplices to murder?

Football is a team sport, so 5 shoplifters are better than 1 murderer, assuming the rest of the team is perfectly clean. However, if the rest of the team is mostly thugs and criminals, I would take the murderer.

I guess what I'm saying is, murderers are a waste of talent on a clean team, but on a dirty team, they are the difference between a good team and a great team. Murderers are like the wide receivers of team MCMW.

I mean she wasn't like 300lbs or anything, but I was comfortable in labeling her 'fat'.. I really suck at just speculating weights because I'm a tall skinny dude, and I didn't really have a scale handy at the time of said fingerbanging..

Just because he received two purple hearts and did two tours in Iraq doesn't mean he didn't like to run his mouth or hit on the wrong guys girl. I have seen plenty of ignorance in Aggieville, enough that I don't glorify every guy in uniform. Many are great, but it only takes one bad apple...

I have a feeling that the Mys3BlackMales are just something to comfort the community. I have a feeling its not a serious lead.

At 2AM, everyone thinks they're bulletproof. I would assume it was a military on military fight. There is a reason why at least one bar is KSU students only.

Considering bars can ban certain things...sneakers, jerseys (read: stay away black guys)....I suppose they can pull off a KSU only place.

Suspect arrested in fatal beating case
Whitney Hodgin [email protected]

Two local men were arrested Wednesday and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the beating death of Kevin Cockrum, according to a news release from the Riley County Police Department.

Justin Charles Taylor, 24, 619 Vattier St., was arrested at RCPD after being questioned by police, Det. Brad Hooper said. He is confined on $250,000 bond.

Levertis Lee Horne, 20, of 516 Thurston St., was also arrested and charged with second-degree murder. His bond is $125,000.

Taylor owns the white vehicle that contained three males that were pictured in Aggieville surveillance footage taken near the scene of the crime at about the time Cockrum, a decorated Army veteran, was attacked at 2 a.m. on Aug. 11.

Police originally said the vehicle was a white Lexus, but they determined it was actually a Mazda after locating it on Monday.

Cockrum, 31, of Manhattan, was found beaten and unconscious in an alley at 10th and Moro streets. He was transported via helicopter to Via Christi in Wichita and died the next day from massive head injuries.

There are multiple suspects in the case, according to the news release.

When asked if the beating was a random act of violence perpetrated by suspects who are still at large, Hooper said "this is not a situation where there's someone out there threatening the community."

The investigation is ongoing and additional arrests may follow.
