An 80-year-old man whose beating at the Redondo Beach Elks Lodge was captured on video is suing the lodge and two of its former members.

In a lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court, Joseph Lordeon of Redondo Beach accused the lodge, former Supreme Ruler Nashana Steele, and her husband, Lamont Steele, of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, property liability, neglect and elder abuse.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Surveillance footage of the May 5 encounter obtained by the Southern California News Group allegedly shows Lamont Steele searching for Loerden, who was wearing a MAGA hat, in the booth and then striking him repeatedly in the lobby.

“This violent attack was completely unprovoked,” said former Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley, who assisted Lordeon on the case. “I cannot understand why someone would do such a thing to an old and weak man. Considering that the perpetrator and his wife are also officers of that club. This makes the situation even worse.”

Neither Nashana Steele, who resigned from her lofty managerial post and no longer attends the Redondo Beach cabin, nor Lamont Steele, whom the Elks permanently exiled, returned phone calls seeking comment.

Officials with the Chicago-based Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks declined to discuss the alleged attack because it is a criminal matter.

“The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has always viewed our lodges as places where members and their guests can feel comfortable and enjoy social opportunities in a caring and welcoming environment,” spokesman Rick Gathen told SCNG in June. “Acts of violence have no place in our lodges and the alleged reports are both disturbing and unacceptable.”

Founded in 1868, BPOE has nearly 1 million members who meet in 2,000 lodges across the United States and abroad. The Elks provide charitable services aimed at building stronger communities, sponsoring college scholarships, youth basketball teams, drug awareness programs, and the like.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office charged Lamont Steele with aggravated assault and elder abuse. He is awaiting trial.

Lordeon told the Southern California News Group: ordeal It started around 4:30 p.m. on Cinco de Mayo, when he visited the 70-year-old Elks Lodge at the east end of oceanfront Veterans Park to meet some friends.

As he walked out about 15 minutes later, he said, a lodge member invited him to dine at a private party attended by about 45 people at another bar on the north end of the lodge.

Realtor Lordeon was handed a plate, grabbed some salad for himself from the buffet table, and started walking away. But Nashana Steele blocked Lordeon and ordered him to leave the lodge because she was upset he was wearing a Donald Trump hat, the lawsuit states. It can be seen in the video that Lordeon had a heated argument with Nashana Steele.

Lordeon left the dining area but not the lodge and sat on a couch in the lobby to eat his meal.

According to the lawsuit, Nashana Steele called Lamont Steele, who was on the rooming house porch, to fire Lordeon and told her husband he was wearing a Trump hat.

However, seven pages of heavily edited Redondo Beach police report He offers a contradictory motive for the attack, stating that someone told Lamont Steele that a man had attacked his wife.
