These scumbags were CAUGHT ON CAMERA beating a DISABLED MAN. And the video is BEYOND disturbing. Florida deputies say an 18-year-old and 19-year-old repeatedly punched, kicked and strangled a physically and mentally disabled man at a bonfire while he barely fought back. Cody Stripling, 18, and Sebastian Bowers, 19, both of Port Orange, were arrested October 31 and charged with aggravated battery, battery by strangulation and aggravated abuse of a disabled adult. The attack happened in the early morning hours of October 23 at a bonfire in Tiger Bay State Forest. According to investigators, a friend brought the victim to the gathering and later left briefly to drive other people home. Video from the scene allegedly shows Stripling and Bowers repeatedly punching and kicking the victim as he takes the blows without fighting back. The victim told deputies he was also put in a chokehold. His friend returned and pulled the attackers off him. The victim suffered a concussion, multiple bruises and a bloodied mouth, according to deputies and medical staff. Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood called it a “beatdown” and said the video would disturb any decent person who watched it. Detectives are still trying to identify and speak with others who were at the bonfire, including the person who recorded the attack.
