Branding victim tells of ordeal

AZTEC — Despite his sometimes contradictory testimony, Vincent Kee definitively pointed out the person who a year ago participated in branding a swastika on his arm with a heated wire hanger.

"It felt like my skin was being melted, melted in a frying pan," Kee said. "It smelled like my skin was being cooked."

Hatch, 29, is charged with first-degree felony kidnapping, second-degree felony conspiracy to commit kidnapping, third-degree felony aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and fourth-degree felony conspiracy to commit aggravated battery for an April 29 incident in which he, Paul Beebe, 28, and Jesse Sanford, 26, are accused of branding Kee with a swastika.

"I don't want another handicapped kid like me to run around Farmington and get hurt like that," Kee said. "I'm trying to tell the truth so they can go back to the prison. I want them to be put away for what they did."

Defendants Jesse Sanford, 24, William Hatch, 28, and Paul Beebe, 26


Racist rhetoric fuels hate crimes

~snip~
The attack occurred April 29, 2010 when three self-avowed white supremacists finished their shifts at a local McDonald’s, then decided to kidnap Vincent Kee, 22, and burn a swastika symbol into his flesh using a metal coat hanger.

They also shaved a swastika onto the back of his head and used markers to draw a pentagram, a penis, the numbers 666, “white power” and “KKK” on his body.

Jesse Sanford, 24, William Hatch, 28, and Paul Beebe, 26, were charged with first-degree felony kidnapping, second-degree felony conspiracy to commit kidnapping, third-degree felony aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, and fourth-degree felony conspiracy to commit aggravated battery by Farmington Police.

A search of the crime scene at their apartment turned up evidence of association with the white supremacist movement, Nazi memorabilia, and a cell phone with a camera that recorded their crimes, according to police.

1. I'm going to need to see Beebe's papers.
He looks a little "off" to me...

3. That Beebe might be a little confused about the "White" in "White Supremecist."
Lord help him if those other two ever have the first real thought of their lives while the three of them are alone.

5. After a quick trial, take them out back and shoot them.
Society doesn't need people like this.
