I hope the put him in general pop and ass rape him till he dies! I can not believe he killed that guy. I hope they kill hill slow!

 

To begin the reality check its important to start with April 9 when Demetri Andrews crossed paths with Timothy Strano. It was on that night last Spring that Andrews and his girlfried Ageliki Barberopoulou were returnig to her UDistrict apartment from Renton after visitig a friend. Andrews had been seeig Barberopoulou for a few years since his divorce in 1999. The divorce had been a major setback in Andrews' life he'd put on a little weight and let his construction business slide. Recently he'd been spending more time doing odd jobs at his family's restaurant Niko's Place, a Greek restaurant near KeyArena that had been a hub for Seattle's Greek community since Andrews' father opened it in the 60s. Andrews himself had grown up in the restaurant busing tables fixing shelves and parking cars. He was living on Mercer Island near his brother and mother and spending time with his six-year-old son Niko. Things with Barberopoulou were going well. There was talk of an engagement.

That Tuesday night, Andrews and Barberopoulou were heading south on University Way NE above NE 45th Street, where the district's two busiest streets bisect, when two men, Timothy Strano and Joseph Tremato, skateboarded out into the street and cut Andrews off. Andrews laid on the horn; words were exchanged. Andrews, who is described by his family as peaceful, a teddy bear by nature, but expressive in a "European fashion," got out of his car.

According to Barberopoulou, Tremato and Andrews were face to face and Tremato said, "What the do you want? Are you going to ing hit me now?" The two men scuffled. Even though Andrews was larger than Tremato, it was Tremato who pushed Andrews to the ground. Oddly, Strano claims it was at this point he felt concerned for his friend's safety. So while Andrews tried to steady himself, Strano came from behind and trucked him with "all his might" in the back of the head. (To "truck" someone is to strike the person with one of the metal trucks on the underside of a skateboard.)

Strano later told police he hit Andrews at a bad angle. After Andrews fell Strano, Tremato, and Strano's brother George who had been following behind, all took off. Strano unaware of the extent of Andrews' injuries, bought a bottle of whiskey went home and got piss drunk.

That night at Harborview Medical Center Andrews seemed to be doing fine. The police incident report listed his injuries as "a cut to his head and possible cocussion." His brother who had rushed to the hospital left him for the night confident in a full recovery. However the next morning Wednesday the 10th the family was told he had slipped into a coma. Two days later a day before his 34th birthday Demetri Andrews died. Strano was arrested in a UDistrict apartment at 1:00 A.M. on April 13 after some simple detective work tracked him down.

 

Apparently, the Seattle situation is different from the scene in the video....here's the link to the information of the video scene:

The guy who got hit in the head, kind of started the fight.
He went to give the kid a headlock but totally screwed up. The kid fought back in self defense? but still you don't gota hit the guy in the face, Damn. Screwed up.

Its people like that, that should be turned into food or fuel. Jail just wastes my tax money and yours.

 

That pathetic excuse for a human being (skateboarder) needs a heavy jail sentence. What... did he think that hitting someone in the head with a skateboard running gear wasn't going to cause serious damage? I hope he gets jailed and nailed for his efforts.

Based on that video his bad attitude was responsible for aggravating the entire situation from the beginning. He won't be riding his board on the roof of anyone's car once he's sharing a cell with Bubba.

 

So the thing that happened in seattle... Is that the same incident as what's in the video?

 

I don't understand how one human would KILL another merely for entertainment, nor do I understand how no one did anything. I remember reading this story where a woman was killed and 38 people in a middle class neighborhood in New York witnessed it and did not do anything.

 

Everybody is so scared of lawsuits. That's easier for them to just not get involved and not "deal with it" then to and risk getting the shit beat out of them too or get sued for something???

I don't think it's right. But you see people do it all the time. One time, I was on the highway and I saw a crash happen right in front of me. It was bad. I was one of the only people that pulled over to help them. Everyone else was just driving around them. They had the "It's not my problem" attitude. Which I'm sorry to say is very common, especially in America.

 

You brought up a good point tapout, if someone were to help him I bet they would end up in court as well for causing more injuries in trying to help him out or something ridiculous. I'm sure they dont think of the outcome when a good citizen just wants to help out,but people get greedy with the situation and start to grab as much money as possible. sad world
