Yetta Kurland Restore St. Vincent's Site - Suzannah B. Troy

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you will attend our planning meeting to restore a hospital at the St. Vincent's site.  It is this Thursday, May 13th at 6pm at Our Lady of Pompeii Church located at 25 Carmine Street (at Bleecker).

This is a follow up meeting from our April 30th Town Hall Meeting where Assemblymember Gottfried, Assemblymember Glick and Senator Duane joined us to discuss some of the serious concerns with how St. Vincent's Hospital was closed and equally serious concerns with the fact that we now have no hospital on the lower west side of Manhattan.

There was an incredible turnout of hundreds of community members.  I am including some photos below of the April 30th meeting.

Many great ideas came out of this Town Hall discussion and many of you have emailed me since then with other great ideas and thoughts.

We need to hear from you this Thursday as we sit down together to organize our next action and get even more people out.

The only way we will hold those responsible for this illegal closure and get a new hospital for the Village is if we get our entire community to come out so please come on Thursday to help us plan how to do this.

Please RSVP by responding to this email that you are coming and let me know if you are bringing anyone.

Look forward to seeing you all there.

Best,
Yetta Kurland

Sucuzhanay murder not hate crime? - Suzannah B. Troy

Welcome to Brooklyn, New York and to two trials where you can gather together the only select group of people on the planet who don't believe Jose Sucuzhanay was beaten to death because of hate and prejudice.  Jose and his brother were walking arm and arm when these hate mongers decided they must be gay and therefore beaten to death.

First of all what is wrong with someone that they are out there with so much rage on the streets of New York that they are beating people to death, stabbing them or shooting them?  

These two trials are a mark of great shame on the City of New York, as if the murder of an innocent man simply walking home arm and arm with his brother, daring to be happy in a city filled with a lot of angry, lonely dysfunctional people in need of anger management classes, possibly medication, a life have to take someone else's life and do so attempting to beat two brothers to death.

These jurors lacked empathy and they assume it could never happen to them.  I am straight but I have been gay bashed.  It could happen to anyone of these jurors....welcome to NYC.

These cowardly thugs were so outraged by two men walking arm and arm happily together that they had to attempt to beat them both to death and they started by yelling gay slurs but according to trials in Brooklyn that doesn't count as prejudice and one even resulted in a mistrial.  Both these monsters need to go away for a long, long time.

To add insult to injury the jurors for both cases say hey it was not a hate crime.  I guess it doesn't count until it happens to them.   I remember I was in college and I was with my Mom on Canal Street having shopped at Pearl Paint and was walking arm and arm with my Mom and this group of idiots made a homophobic comment.    Around the world the jury is out and there can only be one conclusion about the people posing as jurors on this trial.  

I have had gay bashing  including be a stalker sicko with a camera who is so deluded and lonely he calls me his stalker when in fact he takes photos of me -- my back --  without my knowledge and sets up a gay bashing gang bang attack with his anonymous internet buddies which I  turned in to the NYPD and lawyers.

On this YouTube I show you a crime scene in the West Village and it appears a man was severely beaten in the West Village and it was said to be because he was gay.  They had to taken him to St. Vincent's and put him in a coma because of brain swelling.   I have no idea how he is doing now and what is the status of this case.

Bottom line is NYC has way too high a threshold for hate, anti-woman and  anti-gay.
