DeLAND, Fla. -- A 91-year-old World War II veteran spent eight days in jail after being accused of threatening his caregiver who apparently refused to let him take a walk around his assisted-living facility.

William Kepler was arrested at Deerfoot Manor Alf, an assisted-living home in DeLand, after an incident involving his nurse.

DeLand police were called to the facility, and Kepler was arrested after police said he refused to obey their commands.


Kepler said officers used excessive force on him during the incident.

After eight days in custody, James Floyd, who did not know Kepler, paid a $6,000 bond and took him into his own home.

He looks terribly dangerous. sarcasm

What's next? Tasering infants that cry too loudly?

and personally, I'm more outraged over this than over what happened to Andrew Meyer or the Circuit City guy, by far.

Watch it sink.

He's fucking 91 years old. Did I say he was 91? He spent over a week in jail, until some compassionate soul bailed him out. The police used force on a 91 yr old who was no apparent threat.

" The DeLand Police Department said any force was used because they said Kepler did not obey to their commands."

What authoritarian bullshit. We beat him up because he wouldn't O...B...E...Y...

Cracked him over the head, apparently. A 91 year old man in a nursing home!!!

or is the interest in authoritarianism about something else? Perhaps the fever of interest has just evaporated? Beats me.
