DETROIT NURSING HOME ATTACKER PLEADS NOT GUILTY; ALLEGEDLY ROBBED VICTIM AFTER BEATING HIM

Whatever you do: don’t notice any patterns

It’s looking like 20-year-old Detroit nursing home attacker Jaden Hayden may be looking to escape punishment by claiming insanity or diminished mental capacity.

From CNN:

The 20-year-old man accused of beating a 75-year-old in a Detroit nursing home pleaded not guilty to assault Sunday, said Maria Miller, Wayne County assistant prosecuting attorney.

Jaden T. Hayden of Ypsilanti was charged with two counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, larceny in a building and two counts of stealing/retaining a financial transaction without consent, according to a news release from the Wayne Country Prosecutor’s Office.

Hayden’s arrest and charges come after a video surfaced of him attacking the elderly man — identified as as Norman Bledsoe — at Westwood Nursing Center in Detroit, police said. Both were residents of the nursing home, though Hayden “is not a long-term resident of Westwood, but he was recently admitted for recovery and rehabilitation purposes on a temporary stay,” according to a statement from the nursing home’s attorneys.

Hate crime? If guilty should be sent away for many years. And fake-news WBOC, etc. should be forced to cover the crime.

WBOC doesn't cover anything except a few happenings in Delaware.

If I were a family member. Let him out on bail. PLEASE.

He's a mental patient. He should never have been forced into that situation of being put in a nursing home. The only one to blame for this is that waste of oxygen governor of Michigan.

10:45 He took pics of himself displaying a wad of cash. He videotaped himself beating up old people. He posted these videos. Does that sound like a mental patient?🤔

He was not a mental patient, although his father has been quoted saying he has “mental problems”.

He was kicked out of a group home for assaulting a staff member with Lysol. (Bet she was white.)

Since he tested positive for the Wuhan virus, and the governor said nursing homes had to take covid19 positive people, that is where they shipped him.

He has mental health problems so he can get out of jail. Period.

This has been a problem in nursing homes for decades
