Shane Barbi’s husband, actor Ken Wahl, took to Twitter to call out President Obama’s silence on the slaying of a hero.
IT's a shame BO couldn't have a kid that would look like #DelbertBelton.Maybe THEN he'd mention the TRAGEDY about him like he did w/Trayvon!

@SineQuaN0nUSA @BrianHubbsPhoto @BobSeaPort MLK said to judge a person by their character. BO proves he has none by ignoring #DelbertBelton.

SUCH a sad time in America when a hero like #DelbertBelton can survive WAR, yet not his hometown & have BO ignore HIS vicious slaying.Tragic

Somebody in the Obama administration needs to come forth and
at least acknowledge the brutal murder of one of America's dwindling
WW2 vets.— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) August 24, 2013
The murder of Delbert Belton proves once and for all that it's people,not guns that kill people.
