Lauren Pazienza, now 28, shoved Barbara Maier Gustern to the ground from behind in the Chelsea neighborhood on March 10, 2022, officials said at the time.

    Her family is wealthy, she’ll be fine when she gets out. If we were using an eye for an eye she’d be executed.

    As for rehabilitation, there are 8 billion people on this planet. We can afford to dump the shitty ones in dark hole for the rest of their lives. There’s more than enough good people that need help and aren’t getting it those resources could go to.

        I don’t know about that. There’s a place down the road from me that rents excavators for a lot cheaper than you’d think.
