Woman Dies After Having Her Throat Slit by Homeless Man at Los Angeles Metro Subway Station in Unprovoked Attack

Quote: A woman in her 60s has died following another violent incident involving public transportation in Los Angeles.

The latest incident occurred around 5 a.m. Monday morning. The victim was stabbed on the southbound train before exiting at the Universal City B Line Station at 3901 Lankershim Blvd, close to the major tourist attraction, Universal Studios.

The Los Angeles Police Department arrested Elliot Tramel Nowden. The homeless 45-year-old is charged with murder and is being held on $2 million bail, authorities said.

According to LAPD, Nowden stabbed the victim in the throat using two small kitchen knives. The woman got off the train while bleeding profusely at the station, and Nowden exited right after.

He fled the scene, but a combination of surveillance cameras and witness descriptions about the suspect and his distinctive clothing helped officers locate and arrest him a short time later near Ventura Boulevard and Vineland Avenue.

Authorities say Nowden and the victim did not know each other.

Well...clearly we need to immediately ban all use of subways by anyone becusue clearly subways cause violence and there is nothing more important than child safety to be able to identify as any of ....

edit: oh, and small kitchen knives...we NEED to ban all use and sale of all small kitchen knives, because they killz....

divisiness in the left front

Apparently, asking for Biden to give interviews or debate is an indication of bias against him.

Apparently Houston Grand Opera missed that particular memo: I went to opening night of The Sound of Music, and HGO officials took great pains to inform the audience (both in the written program and by verbal announcement) that swastikas (aka the "flag with the black spider") would appear on stage in the second act, when the von Trapp family flees from the Nazis.

Who knew that The Sound of Music now requires trigger warnings? It makes one wonder what red flags might be needed for, gosh, just about every WW2 movie, TV show, or documentary ever made.

By the way, in spite of all the traumatizing imagery, the production was wonderful. The official hand-wringing, silly as it was, had no effect on the exhilarating story, the magnificent and beloved music, or the audience's delight therein.

I wonder what warnings might be in order for Showboat or Porgy and Bess?

A whole week without a murder

Wowser.

infighting

Biden’s chief economist baffled

Sure don’t need four more years of this leadership.


"The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print our own money", Bernstein initially stated, reports the Express. However, when the interviewer sought clarification on the government's borrowing practices, Bernstein appeared to struggle with coherence.

I guess my ex could be Chief economist. Besides being female, a prime qualifier for appointment, she has no understanding of money.


Despite his position as Chief Economist and Economic Policy Adviser, Bernstein's struggle to explain fundamental economic principles did not go unnoticed. He openly expressed his exasperation, conceding: "I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about."

He sure doesn’t.

The bolded seems to be a pre-requisite for a number of administration jobs, including Press Secretary and Commander-in-Chief.

And VP, AKA as president-in-waiting.

Prediction, if Biden wins re-election:

higher taxes (for everybody)
Higher inflation
Higher deficits
Harris as President. That would make here our first female President, and that would be her last achievement.
More aggression and less respect overseas


JMHO

Sopranos star speaks out


"Sopranos" star Drea de Matteo told Fox News on Friday many people in Hollywood agree with her view that President Biden is a divisive leader with bad public policy, but essentially fear meeting the same end as her character Adriana, who was killed while running from Silvio Dante in a New Jersey forest.

"I feel like the Biden administration was used to divide people. I think that the division in America is beyond — and I don't think that we know really where it's coming from," she added.

"I doubt that it's just an old man who doesn't even know he's reading half the time. I don't think he's making any of these executive decisions on social issues."
