Unhappy WWII Patriotard Learns Tragic Lesson: Actions Have Consequences!

One is left to wonder if, in a final moment of clarity, Mr. Chaffin at last understood the irony of fighting overseas on JOG's behalf to being brutally murdered by loosed niggers in his homeland.

From staff reports

Florence County sheriff’s deputies have arrested two suspects, including a 16-year-old, they say were involved in a fatal shooting outside a Florence hotel room Monday morning.

Sylvester Davis, 25, of Darlington, was arrested about 12:15 p.m. Tuesday after a brief vehicle chase in Darlington County, Sheriff Kenney Boone said. Davis was in a stolen Chevy Tahoe when he was spotted by law enforcement officers near Holly Circle in Darlington County.

Dondre Scott, 16, also of Darlington, was arrested about 5:30 p.m. Monday at a residence on Pisgah Road in Darlington County, Boone said.

SUSPECTS


Sylvester Davis Jr., left, and Dondre Scott were arrested in connection with the shooting death of 83-year-old World War II veteran Clair C. Chaffin.



Davis and Scott each face a murder charge in connection with Chaffin’s death.

“I think this is going to be a death penalty case,” Boone said.

Prosecutors are considering that option, 12th Circuit Solicitor Ed Clements III said.

“This is potentially a capital case,” he said.

The U.S. Supreme Court prohibits the death penalty being sought against someone under the age of 18, however, Clements said.

Twelfth Circuit attorneys would have to determine who exactly pulled the trigger, then will decide how to pursue the case, he said.

“This is a terrible thing,” Clements said. “That guy was a war hero who risked his life to defend the lives of the two people that took his life senselessly.”

World War II veteran Clair C. Chaffin, 83 of Archer, Fla., was shot while he was in the process of packing his vehicle after being confronted by two men in an attempted armed robbery about 7 a.m. at the Thunderbird Inn, located at 2004 W. Lucas St., at the U.S. 52/Interstate 95 intersection.

Chaffin was taken to an area hospital, where he later died. An autopsy at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston confirmed the cause of his death as a gunshot wound to the chest area, Florence County Coroner M.G. “Bubba” Matthews said.

Kat Dow, Chaffin’s daughter, said in a comment posted to scnow.com her father was on his way to Virginia to attend a meeting with other 4th Marine Divison Association members, “and then he and his dear friend were heading for a trip across the Canadian Rockies.

“He was really excited about this trip. It is unbelievable he was gunned down like this,” she wrote. “I know my Dad and he was tough. He wouldn’t have just handed his money over! I so wish that he had, nothing was worth his life.”

Chaffin’s shooting is directly related to a robbery that happened in Richland County at 2 a.m. Sunday, Boone said.

That crime happened at the Motel 6 located at 7541 Nates Road where an off-duty probation agent was robbed at gunpoint of her credentials and state-issued .40-caliber handgun, according to a press release issued Monday by Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.

The probation agent was working a security detail at the motel when two unknown black men approached her while she was sitting in her car, Lott said.

The agent said the suspects fled in a burgundy Nissan bearing S.C. license tag DDE 725, which Lott said matched the description of the vehicle involved in Monday morning’s fatal Florence County shooting.

Investigators are trying to determine whether the weapon used in the Florence homicide is the same as the weapon stolen in the Richland County robbery, Boone said.

State and federal charges against the suspect are being pursued, too, Boone said.

“They will most likely face a good bit of armed robbery charges,” he said. “These two individuals have done a lot of armed robberies in different areas of the state.”

The suspects will likely continue to be detained in Effingham because of the seriousness of the charges they face in Florence County, Boone said. At some point, other agencies will send deputies copies of warrants and detainers relating to the suspects.

Deputies were able to track the suspects to Darlington County because they were able to quickly identify the vehicle the suspects were driving after the crime, Boone said. This made it fairly easy to track down the vehicle and, in turn, the suspects.

A third person in custody will likely be charged in connection with an armed robbery involving the suspects, but not in connection with Chaffin’s death , Boone said. The identity of that person hasn’t been released.

A native of Jackson, Mich., Chaffin landed at Iwo Jima on Feb. 19, 1945, according to a February 2008 report in The Gainesville (Fla.) Sun.

He dropped out of high school in the 10th grade to join the Navy and “even the score” for the death of his two brothers, Elmer and Kenneth, in the war, according to the September newsletter of the Gator Detachment of the Marine Corps League Inc. in Gainesville, Fla. He also sang in the Great Lakes Naval Choir.

Chaffin later attended junior college in St. Petersburg, Fla., majoring in building construction. He spent the next 54 years coordinating and supervising major Department of Defense and Veterans Administration construction projects in Alabama, Indiana and throughout Florida, according to the newsletter. Then-Gov. Jeb Bush awarded Chaffin a full high school diploma from the state of Florida in 2004 in recognition of his educational sacrifice to serve his country.

Boone said Chaffin was awarded the Silver Star for his heroic efforts as a military veteran and had been married for more than 60 years.

Boone said he thanks the Darlington County and Richland County sheriff’s offices, the Florence City Police Department and the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force for their assistance in capturing the suspects.

These crimes remain under investigation, and anyone with information about them is asked to call the state Crime Stoppers hotline at (888) CRIME SC (274-6372). Callers need not reveal their identities.

One wonders if the following old soldier reached the same understanding. Note from this story that he was conscious and survived the beating for awhile, meaning he described his attackers to the police and media, yet in no news report did they describe the perpetrators. Think they're trying to hide something?



WW II veteran dies months after beating at Dallas home


DALLAS — An 84-year-old veteran survived World War II; decades later he fought to survive a vicious beating that occurred nearly eight months ago.

In the end, Jack Boles couldn't recover, which means his assault has turned into murder, and the killers are still on the loose.

When News 8 talked with Boles in October, he said robbers knocked on his door waving a gun and threatened to kill him if he didn't open the door.

"They just beat the hell out of me and told me to give them my money and took whatever they wanted out of the house," he said.

Days after being left in a pool of blood, the severity of the beating became obvious.

"On the ninth day, he actually collapsed at the house and he started having some convulsions and we took him to the emergency room," said Dennis Barker, a relative.

Before the robbery, Boles was healthy and self-sufficient. After the attack, he became bedridden. He had fluid in his brain and couldn't recover.

"Since that time forward, he slowly went downhill," Barker said. "After a couple of months, he was only saying one or two words. For the last couple of months before he passed away, he got to where he could not talk."

On Friday — seven months after the home invasion — Boles died with his family by his side.

"I'm 100 percent sure that if this hadn't happened he would be here with us today," Barker said.

Dallas police have not arrested anyone in connection with the case. Homicide detectives will take over the investigation.
