Dallas, Texas motel beheading attack: Police respond to Downtown Suites

Dam.... new fear unlocked for me.
Just-A-Thoughts@reddit
Ahhh the Downtown Suites… Let me tell you of my woeful time in the Downtown Suites… it was decades ago. I was a junkie and staying at the lovely downtown suites in one of their downstairs “extra special” suites… circular bed, mirrors on the ceiling, etc… It was quite the trashy vibe, even for a hallucinating junkie as myself. There were syringes everywhere outside, and a family of Indian folks running the joint. They had a small child who they insisted showing me how many pushups he could do.
It was truely surreal… I would peep out the peephole and look across to the park and make up all sorts of wild stories about all the awful ways people had died in that area… electrocution in the metal tub, gun shots.. i mean there were stains of all colors everywhere so it wasn’t hard to do.
In any event… I had somewhat sobered up… and Ill never forget this… the little pushup kid shows up in the parking lot and says to me…as Im leaving… “Thank you for your stay sir, I see you are leaving… just remember the power that urgency has on you”
I was literally so confused - my drug addled brain was not able to process a young child spitting unsolicited wisdom to me… a weird fucking place and doesn’t surprise me one bit that someone got beheaded there. In fact id be surprised if it was the first.
0/5 stars. Do not recommend.

It was the Indian manager who got murdered in front of his wife and kid. You may have seen the murder victim.
Just-A-Thoughts@reddit
This was a very long time ago..
LowStatistician11@reddit
yeah the motel manager’s kid is 18 now

Man that was a fire ass read dawg
Sufficient-Sky-1863@reddit
Who?
bootpalishAgain@reddit
Thank you for sharing that. I think I am okay with the beheading now. Please continue with the beheadings.
rhymes116@reddit
What in the actual ****... Man hope things got better for you. Thanks for sharing
Jericoholic_Ninja@reddit
Always remember to kindly do the needful.
GrossenCharakter@reddit
I don't understand why this phrase is somewhere in the comments under every single Indian-related post on Reddit, and it's heavily upvoted. Is it really that funny? And as far as phrases go, this one isn't even used anymore. It comes across as insensitive.
Or maybe, anti-Indian bias is the "cool" thing in this age of AI domination and tech unemployment. That must be it right?
Jericoholic_Ninja@reddit
I will revert back to you when I have the information.
GrossenCharakter@reddit
Sure. Just don't bring your AR-15 to my door when you do.
reggaesansa@reddit
Such casual racism, and that too against just one race. I bet you wouldn’t say anything similar on a thread that had a black/Jewish/Muslim/white person beheaded.
Let me guess, you also hate Trump because he speaks things with racial undertones.
And as far as your “joke” do you think only white people are allowed to create English phrases and have verbal ticks and figures of speech?
Yiddish_Dish@reddit
Spoiler: the kid never existed but was sent from the spirit realm to try to get you more fit
pbugg2@reddit
Sounds like a nice place
SimiShittyProgrammer@reddit

How many push-ups did he do

Asking the right questions here

And was he saying ‘revenge is a dish best served cold?’
Hair_This@reddit
Such a colorful story. Thank you.
Xyllus@reddit
im starting to think downtown suites isnt so luxurious after all...
theoriginalmofocus@reddit
Why do they even call them suites, they definitely sound more like sours. Or whatever flavor a 9v battery is.
saysthingsbackwards@reddit
shocking
Dick_Lazer@reddit
They're also not downtown
icansmellcolors@reddit
You might be good at storytelling.
I'm getting notes of Hunter S. Thompson in this post.
No-Drama-187@reddit
What a cautionary story. Thank you for sharing, and all of the best to you in what I hope is a much better life ahead.
Outrageous-Bee8649@reddit
Its interesting that every western outlet is downplaying the fact that he was beheaded right in front of his wife and son. Compare this to Charlie Kirk killing where every western media is focusing on how traumatic it would be for his wife and kids even if they were not present during the shooting. The Indian man's helpless son was right there helpless watching his father being killed and beheaded! Yet absolutely no sympathy expressed for his kid! How damn extreme is white privilege!
flojobb@reddit
He hacked the man and beheaded him, he then proceeded to kick the head until he reached a dumpster and he threw it in, all while the victim's teenage son and his wife watched helplessly. That's so messed up.
FirstOrderCoder@reddit
It was extremely hard seeing the son trying to pull the mom away. She was trying to get in front of the guy to stop him but he kept shoving her away.
AlternativeSquash721@reddit
where did you see the video?
flojobb@reddit
What makes this extra uncomfortable for me is I speak their language (Telugu) and they came from a place close to my hometown.
Tsundare_Mai@reddit
This is so fucked up I can’t
ExtremelyRough@reddit
Not helplessly. I would have fought till my last breath. I would not let that happen to my family and just scream at him.
CampEmbarrassed170@reddit
MAGAland is a very dangerous place for Indian Americans. A lot of comments here seem to be making light of this horrific crime.

Hey dumbass, the suspect is an illegal Cuban immigrant

Internal_Ad6322@reddit
Hate crimes on indians has grown insanely😭
Ok-Adhesiveness-4141@reddit
Poor Indians, hated by the POCs and also hated by MAGA. There is no outrage because it happened to a brown guy, had it happened to anyone else we would see liberal and conservative tears.
Chosen1PR@reddit
Just an FYI, generalizing all POCs is the same as saying all white people are MAGA. We don't claim this clearly mentally unstable criminal. Latinos are not a monolith. The kind of language your are using is very toxic and discriminatory.
Ok-Adhesiveness-4141@reddit
You can't run away from the fact that there is a lot of racism towards Indians and that comes from other PoCs. It's a simple fact, no need to deny.
Chosen1PR@reddit
You're implying that it comes mostly from POC, which is reaching. Also, Indians are POC.
Ok-Adhesiveness-4141@reddit
I didn't say mostly, I said we are hated by both sides which is true. Quite obviously all POCs don't hate us. I am not sure why you are so offende. If you look at social media you will find that the left and the right are United in their hatred of Indians.
Chosen1PR@reddit
I'm not offended, not sure where you're gathering that I am. I am simply pointing out unhelpful arguments. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what racists want. They want us turning on each other.
I reiterate: Blame actions, not skin tones. There is no need to lump people together into monoliths based on their racial and cultural backgrounds so that you can then blame and vilify them. When you do that, you're participating in the same kind of racism that you are supposedly so vehemently against.
Just know this: Despite being hated by some, you are also accepted and welcomed by many.
Ok-Adhesiveness-4141@reddit
I have plenty of Latin American friends, some of them in fact look like Indians. All this hatred doesn't bother me that much because I am no longer in America. I just think it is sad to hate on someone because they are different.
It is quite horrifying to hear about such incidents. Makes you lose your faith in humanity as a whole.
Tsundare_Mai@reddit
And the fact that we.. didn’t even do anything and just exist
kreambizkit@reddit
Seriously and y'all love making fun of us online too, the kind of abuse we go through just because of simply existing is unparalleled and we still welcome everyone with open arms.
PorcelainDalmatian@reddit
Things are getting so “woke” in this country that you can’t even behead someone at the Downtown Suites anymore. Thanks, Obama!
AccordingPears158@reddit
Suspect is named Yordanis Cobos-Martinez. Quick google shows a few prior arrests.
mylinuxguy@reddit (OP)
If it's the same guy from CA back in 2017 when he car jacked a woman, maybe he should not be allowed to ever roam the streets again. Seems like the public would be a bit safer if he was not allowed to walk around freely.
redemem@reddit
An illegal immigrant allowed to run free in our country after committing violent crimes. Not a good look
AccordingPears158@reddit
Same guy that was arrested in CA in 2017 was also arrested earlier that year in Florida for car theft too.
If it’s the same Yordanis Covid-Martinez as did the beheading, seems like he has a pattern of criminality.
Used-Concentrate5779@reddit
Illegal too

If an Indian beheaded a Latino, all of you here would be making a 100 generalizations about Indians being racist
haveacorona20@reddit
Instead, they make jokes and tell lame HST rip off stories about being a crackhead at a motel, making light of the situation, while ignoring an innocent man was killed.

So the actions of one clearly mentally unstable violent criminal are causing you to have sweeping generalizations about an entire race and ethnicity. Got it.
shivadboi@reddit
Happened to a brown guy so there is no outrage. Sad state of this world right now
Springtime-Beignets@reddit
aren't they painting murals for Iryna Zarutska? why not also for a brown man who died such brutal death

Right down the street from where we just spent 14 hours at a concert 😟

Wtf! 14 hrs for one concert? Who? Why?

A beheading is absolutely freaking crazy…

Well crazy things happen when you let crazy criminals go free among regular people.

But are they showing up to solve the case or showing up to see a decapitated body? You don't see one of those everyday.

It’s a shame he wasn’t more headstrong.
The_Stereoskopian@reddit
$100 says the psychological effect of the CK murder had something to do with this.
Kids get shot all the time, black people get hate crimed and police brutality'd all the time, brown people get rounded up by ice and other than protestors throwing rocks at cars - most of the actual people getting taken in go meekly and quietly.
But one white guy's neck erupts on what amounts to live television the day before 9/11...
And suddenly the 2nd American Civil War is being called for en masse by the right, bomb threat after bomb threat at HBCU's, suspected VBIED in DC naval yard, shootings, a decapitation...
The cascade effect is real and not just something that happens in biological ecosystems and complex machinery, it seems it is capable of mass effect through psyches via mass delivered messages.
Hm.
DobieLove2019@reddit
This happened around four hours before the shooting in Utah. Where shall I collect my $100?
h3x13s3x13@reddit
Does this mean we're gonna get the national guard flown in next?
xomox2012@reddit
Dallas does have one of the highest violent crime rates in the country so if anything it should have the NG here.
spongyguy24@reddit
Advocating for martial law 😬
xomox2012@reddit
No just pointing out that Dallas has a violent crime rate of over double Chicago. If we are sending NG to cities based on crime, Dallas is a better candidate than Chicago. This whole situation is political theater. It isn't about crime at all or Dallas, and plenty of other cities would be targetted instead of LA and Chicago which both have some of the lowest crime rates per capita of cities with populations greater than 1 million.
spongyguy24@reddit
Agreed. Sorry for making you spell it out for me.
SourDzzl@reddit
Dallas isn't even in the top 20 for violent crime. While the rate is higher than the national average, it's considerably lower than many other major cities.
xomox2012@reddit
Which city has the highest violent crime rates amongst these major cities: Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix?
What cities are bigger/similar to Dallas that have higher crime: Boston, Philly, Miami, Pittsburgh
When you say not even in the top 20 you are comparing Dallas with cities that are far below Dallas in terms of economic/population/ etc activity. You are daft if you think a city like Shreveport for example compares to DFW.
SourDzzl@reddit
These are based on the number of violent crimes per capita in large cities such as Memphis, Detroit, St. Louis, Houston, Baltimore, Oakland, Philadelphia, Denver, Nashville, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Washington DC, etc...
You can DYOR but each of those cities and many others rank higher than Dallas.
Regardless, advocating for the NG to take over cities and be used against citizens is crazy and shouldn't be normalized
worstpartyever@reddit
You should look up facts before saying them out loud.
xomox2012@reddit
Which city has the highest violent crime rates amongst these major cities: Dallas, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix?
What cities are bigger/similar to Dallas that have higher crime: Boston, Philly, Miami, Pittsburgh Outside of that there are no other major cities with worse violent crime that are comparable. Maybe you can make an argument for Detroit but Detroit is a shell of its former self.
AnastasiaNo70@reddit
The hell you talkin about?
Fresh-Wealth-8397@reddit
Yeah they don't count any statistical area that has less than 10,000 people when you actually do count those areas like if you just remove all of the cities and only count all the rural areas you're twice as likely to be murdered outside of a city than you are to be murdered inside of a city in fact a place like Tyler Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago.

Lots of the stories are behind pay walls but this one give some info. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcdfw.com/local/dfw-morningnews-how-the-feds-shut-down-a-deadly-northwest-dallas-motel-where-drugs-were-sold-and-women-were-trafficked/253524/%3famp=1
It was a wild wild place. Like... I'll never forget that place.
upliftinglitter@reddit
Thank you. It sounds too awful to believe it existed
kz750@reddit
I once got semi-lost exploring alternate routes home from work and parked a few minutes across the street from Han Gil. I don't really believe in the supernatural but something made me turn towards it and I got the weirdest feeling, like there was something evil in that place. Hard to explain. I went home and forgot about it until a couple of years later when I read about the feds raiding the place and what took place there.
SipoteQuixote@reddit
Too many bad energy and spirits, and I dont even believe in that type of stuff. You just knew the moment you put your eyes on it. Terrible horrible place, good riddance.
