Elderly man beaten to death on N.J. turnpike
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. - A motorist beat a former Soviet political prisoner to death with a rock Thursday at a highway rest stop after the victim declined to buy his religious CDs, police said.
Brian K. White, 26, was arrested after a 90-mile chase and charged with murder, eluding police and weapons violations.
The victim, Michail J. Makarenko, 75, spent 11 years in prison for anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda, said his interpreter and secretary, Gregory Burnside. He lived in Hillsboro, Va., and owned an art gallery that exhibited works of banned artists, Burnside said.
Authorities said White approached Makarenko at a rest stop along the New Jersey Turnpike near Moorestown and began striking him in the head with a rock after he declined to buy the religious CDs. Then White got back in his car and headed toward New York City, police said.
Troopers said they caught up with him about 15 minutes later and chased him for about an hour before he pulled over to the side of the road in Teaneck, jumped out of his vehicle and charged at them.
White was quickly subdued, police said.
"He possibly is delusional," said State Police Maj. Mary Beth Mahlmann.

Sad to think the victim had survived so much and had managed to come here and finally have success. Then to be killed by some nut-job at a rest stop for no real reason.

As usual we don't know the full story, but only a quick sensationalist press report. Who knows what really happened, but the story as posted doesn't make sense. If he really was that insane, others must have declined before, and somehow they lived through it.
Other than being an example of random violence (that can happen anywhere in the world, although in most places the press is more civilized and reports only real news), I don't see the point of having posted it.

For a Harvard educated person, you are shockingly inept in the disipline of critical thinking.
Just because White happened to have NOT killed other people who refused his CDs, but did kill the 75 year old man (Michail Makarenko) in question, does not prove that he wasn't suffering from a severe mental imbalance. (iow, deep seated indoctrination with religious nonsense)
Also, i found the following sentence from the article very puzzling;
""A judge set bail at $750,000 and ordered White, of Humble, Texas, to have a psychiatric exam before he can be released from jail.""
I was under the impression that no bond was set in the case of aggravated assualt that results in murder. To think about this murderous religious cretin being back out on the streets is chilling.

Why do you think you have to sour the milk before you make your point? All that does to most people is piss them off at you so that anything you say afterward is seen in an angry light.
I think my point is correct; there must be more to it than we have heard. What you said does not change that.
As for the bit about being released from jail, this is no doubt some reporter's bad writing, not what would really happen.

ROTFL.....What are you?...a ninety year old Gypsy woman?
Pointing out that your reaching the irrational conclusion-- "" If he really was that insane, others must have declined before, and somehow they lived through it""-- demonstrates a lack of critical thinking ability is not "souring the milk".
It is simply a factual observation.
I think my point is correct; there must be more to it than we have heard.
You seemed to imply that he could not have been mentally disturbed since he did not kill everyone who refused his CDs.
That is not a well reasoned point; it is an irrational conclusion.
As for the bit about being released from jail, this is no doubt some reporter's bad writing, not what would really happen.
What the...?!?!?
Are you suffering under the illusion that when someone in jail pays the requisite bail, they are not released from custody.......?!?!?
Are you ignorant of the workings of the criminal justice system?

I guess with that amount of bail they rather hope he will flee. Probably pay a year's court costs.
Insults are not "factual observations."
This is getting ridiculous. You interpreted my words wrong and now you are trying to save face. I did not say he must have been sane. That he is insane seems pretty obvious. I just wonder what really happened to set him off, since the story as we have it doesn't add up.

And you are now guilty of misinterpreting my words and intent.
I have said nothing for which I am moved to "save face".

Incredible. First you take one position, then later when called on it you switch to an opposite position. Earlier you puled --""the story as posted doesn't make sense. If he really was that insane, others must have declined before, and somehow they lived through it."".
I cannot see what that earlier statement intended to convey if it was not the thought that the person was likely not insane.

Well, I agree that the guy is clearly imbalanced, but this obviously isn't the whole story. I'm sure something about what this guy said pissed our dear old musician off. Although, I can't imagine what would make you want to hit somebody in the head with a rock...
Lets try it out. FT, it seems that George Bush has been declared a national hero greater than all others. In fact, President's Day is being renamed George Bush day, and in celebration, everyone in the country gets 2 weeks off. Hail King George!

No matter what anybody said.. it doesn't justify killing someone... hitting someone with a rock. I feel sorry for the guy, i hope he recovers from his problems... and becomes someone who can control himself.

i'm doubting that some one selling CDs at rest areas is going to be able make that kind of bail, but assuming that he does, the psych exam is still going to be necessary.

I don't think anyone is trying to justify murder.
We have all been approached by people of this sort. I once had a woman approach me as I was sitting on a park bench with, "Are you saved?" After I looked at her puzzled, she shouted, "'Cause if you aren't you will roast in Hell."
Now I can imagine someone starting an argument: don't argue with the deluded. Sometimes discussion and talk helps, but when they are emotional don't say anything except maybe, "You're right," or "I know." Don't even smile (that will be taken as mockery).
This was the point of my remark. We need to try to understand these tragedies, and to have understanding. That the press puts it out as "crazy man" is a large part of the problem.

I understand it.
He is a devotee of BibleGawd.
Maybe this White fellow was simply following the dictates of the Old Testament, that informs us that those who will not convert and worship Biblegod must be killed, in order to smooth their path to Heaven.
One cheery note; for some reason White failed to track down the man's wife and children and livestock and kill them too.
