No community organizer was necessary to inspire calls for justice for Delbert Belton, the World War II veteran beaten to death by two teenagers Wednesday night in North Spokane, Wash. Actor James Woods was among those anxious to send Belton’s name trending and demand justice in the case.
#DelbertBelton God bless you and may you rest in peace.

FWIW, this is not a political or racial issue in my opinion. I just want to see the murderers caught. #JusticeForDelbertBelton

Will @BarackObama & @TheRevAl condemn this? “@brianknotts: Here is more info on it: http://t.co/ozkG7C3Fg9 #JusticeForDelbertBelton” #tcot

Not many WWII vets from the greatest generation like #DelbertBelton remaining. We need to cherish every minute they are still with us

It's unfortunate #DelbertBelton didn't have his service .45 M1911 at his side. RIP, you deserved a hell of a lot better than this

I do have a WWII vet grandpa. He could be #DelbertBelton. My bro played baseball in OK. He could be #ChrisLane. #justice #tcot #IFIHADASON

Hi @BarackObama could you RT this man's name so it trends. I'm sure an advisor can explain who he is. #DelbertBelton
