I watched the segment last night and now let us hope and pray this sicko is caught and removed from society so he can never murder and harm another woman including his own mother. Rosheda deeply moved me and she showed the scar on her face from the attack and the emotional scar with her grieving for her friend Tina Negron. Both women were courageous and one lived to be able to remember, to be a witness, to tell us the story. I was moved and I feel heart broken that yet another young beautiful woman dies in my neighborhood (-- meaning from Chelsea on down.)
I went to the 9th Precinct community meeting last year? I can't remember but it was before they moved back to their original home which was being renovated and I said no one should die the way Imette St. Guillien died! No one. I talked about the bar scene and I believe it is tied in to violence and women in particular have been victims of murder, rape and robbery. This happened at a supermarket, Tina's work place and Adrienne was in her workspace/apt. in the West Village.
All this is close to home for me. I am in the process of moving after 20 years and I can tell youin the AMW segment they say the East Village is filled with artists and it is not so. Add me to the exodus although I will be close by and I will continue to help my community and that means NYU you are not off the hook and you better stop with the phony public relations and take some action to respect and serve the community you have destroyed. I am so glad there was a huge and angry turn out to tell NYU what we feel although as usual John Sexton and company aka NYU will ignore and continue the expansion of their not for profit EMPIRE aka NYU also know as the no. 1 real estate magnate.
I would like to see a map of all the properties NYU owns and or leases everywhere here and globally. They won't show us that -- NYU won't even update their maps on the sides of the buildings they admit to occupying and the pink building on 2d and Bowery is just ONE example of buildings they "occupy" that they won't but their ubiquitous NYU flag -- sign of their Empire but we know what happens to all empires...they fall and NYU has already begun to fall in terms of popularity.
The neighborhood has x amount of long term community members, bankers, bar owners and huge population of temporary visitors aka college kids and tourists and the greedy developers can't tear down our historic neighborhood fast enough -- clear out and empty buildings fast enough to accommodate them all.
Attempting to silence us is like a murder and isn't murder the ultimate attempt to silence but sometimes even murder can't silence the truth.
There are all kinds of murder, there are all kinds of violence and people to some degree get away with it but there are also witnesses...people know the truth so on another level you are not getting away with it.
