Beloved Broadway singing coach dies after hard shove in Manhattan
Barbara Maier Gustern, a celebrated Broadway singing coach who worked with the likes of Debbie Harry, Justin Vivian Bond and Taylor Mac, has died after being shoved to the ground in Manhattan last week. She was 87.
“Today, at 11:15 a.m., we have lost one of the brightest little flames to ever grace this world,” her family wrote on Facebook. “I ask that you all give me a little time and space, but I want to make time for anyone and everyone who wants to know more about her final moments.”
During a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Chief of Detectives James Essig called it an unprovoked and senseless attack. more
Sucks.
But I bet if it was someone else, she’d be in favor of freeing the guy immediately.
Not sure if its karma, but if she’s affiliated with Broadway, it probably is.
RIP I guess, dead old woman who more than likey voted for all the people who made this possible.
Sometimes its NOT someone else it happens to.
Go figure…
The left celebrated a tornado destroying a Florida republican’s house yesterday so I really can’t be bothered by this news.
Was she a lifelong dem?
You can bank on that shit!
THE FAILURE OF THE LEFT TO PROTECT CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY FROM RAMPANT, VIOLENT CRIME WILL BE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE DNC FACEPLANT IN NOVEMBER
KEEP THE FAITH, PRAY FOR THE VULNERABLE IN THE MEANTIME
FOR THE REST OF US, TRAIN, BUILD MORE MUSCLE, AND BUY MORE AMMO
You allow insane people to roam the streets and then are surprised when they kill people.
“Crimes that are hate crimes when white people do them are eligible for no bail release when black people do them.”
– Evil, Racist, Democrat Motherfuckers (as if there were any other kind)
Doesn’t matter who this happened to, or who they voted for, etc. This is deliberately callous treatment of one human being by another. There is no excuse for such behavior.
…and is it just me, or does the killer resemble “admiral” Rachel Levine?
One of the more significant failures of Biden’s presidency is the sharp increase in societal violence.
Surprising that the perp is Caucasian.
Tony R, perhaps the derogatory term used was “terf”?
This is why more people need to start carrying guns. Dispatch them and move on.
The Rotten Apple!
Defund the WhatNow?
Tough to feel sorry for a group of people that vilify those who want a safer city.
Lets take a look at the rap sheet when it comes out. I would bet revolving door pretty criminal who now is a killer because he was released too many times.
^^^^ That’s a MAN BABBY ^^^^^
As an old Marine Corps combat vet. and in recent past a defensive shooting instructor, I would have to offer this advise. If you are old and timid and especially if you live in an urban liberal shithole, don’t go out alone especially at night. Cowards only attack the most vulnerable prey. Always be aware of your surroundings and make sure your body language transmits the message that YOU are not prey, even if you are not armed you can give the impression you are armed just by your posture and hand placement like you may have a weapon and could reach for it if needed. You would be surprised how many of these “bad guys” watch for these clues before they strike!
I’m sure you can dig thru tons of FBI crime stats to confirm this, and I’m sure there are regular readers who will have contrasting opinions ( especially the ones that have great online gun skills, or are wannabe Law Enforcement types) but truth be told, not everyone is cut out to carry and USE SAFELY a firearm. If you do choose to do so just remember to be properly and professionally trained and remember those skills are perishable so it will require constant training to stay in shape, and make sure you have insurance coverage to cover any liability because we know SOROS has stacked the system the commie District Atty’s just looking to put YOU away before the would a “bad guy”. Just remember yeah we have a CONSTITUTION but when was the last time our government followed it.
Amazing how poorly written the notice is.
Well, we know who runs things.
