A woman who killed an 87-year-old Broadway vocal coach by pushing her to the ground in New York City pleaded guilty Wednesday and will be sentenced to eight years in prison, the district attorney said.

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.

    I find it absolutely hilarious that people get so riled up about a casual joke about rude New Yorkers.

    Also I’m German and you’re in desperate need of contact with grass.

      Ah well, that explains why your sense of humor is so shit. Guess we’re all living up to our stereotype.

        I think it has more to do with me being neurodivergent but being German and being autistic is pretty much the same.

          Self diagnosis is usually valid, but unless you’re about to use the phrase “Hideous Dickhead Disorder” I’d recommend you seek a second opinion.

            I liked that one. You got me good with the twist. Also I find your assessment reasonable.

          Why did they feel the need to mention theirs nationality? It’s not even remotely relevant. So they threw that fact out there.

          People shit on us all the time. We don’t mind as we get along with most of the world when it comes down to business and we like to criticize ourselves actually more than most foreigners like to.

      What happened last time the Germans started making vast generalizations about a group of people?

      Man, you Nazis sure like making up generalizations about groups of people. You should go to New York and round up all the rude people into camps.
