The straphanger randomly pushed to her death by an alleged unhinged vagrant was a senior manager at the top consulting firm Deloitte—and volunteered as an advocate for the homeless. Michelle Go—an MBA graduate of NYU’s prestigious Stern School of Business—lived on the Upper West Side and worked for Deloitte in strategy and operations and mergers and acquisitions, according to her LinkedIn Page.
But the "wonderful," "kind" 40-year-old woman was also known for her volunteerism over the past decade with the New York Junior League, where she helped those struggling to get and stay on their feet, including the homeless. "Michelle’s focus populations were seniors, recovering homeless,

The FBI have sparked fury after they appeared to dismiss a terror attack at a Texas synagogue as not being targeted against Jewish people. FBI Special Agent Matt DeSarno spoke on Saturday after British terrorist Malik Faisal Akram, 44, took four hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas and held them for more than 10 hours before he was shot dead by agents.
'We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we're continuing to work to find motive,' DeSarno said.(Snip)'The FBI is a joke. A dangerous

German Economy and Climate Protection Minister Robert Habeck has called for even more migrants to come to Germany to fill gaps in the labour market, stating the country could have productivity issues going forward. Habeck stated this week that Germany will need to increase immigration to tackle possible shortages of workers, saying, “We have 300,000 job openings today and expect that to climb to a million and more,” and adding, “If we don’t close that gap, we will have real productivity problems.” “Naturally, (this means) better combining qualifications, training and possibilities for families and jobs, but in Germany certainly stepped-up immigration as well, and in all areas, for engineers,

Victims of the tragic Bronx fire were laid to rest in an emotional ceremony Sunday—with thousands of mourners filing past 15 caskets, including some no bigger than a carry-on suitcase. The heart-wrenching scene played out at the Islamic Cultural Center on East 166th Street, about two miles from the high-rise that filled quickly filled with smoke one week ago, killing nine adults and eight children ranging in age from 2 to 50. “One week they were with us… now they’re gone,” said Imam Musa Kabba of the Masjid-Ur-Rahmah mosque.

Thousands of protesters packed Amsterdam's streets on Sunday in opposition to the government-imposed Covid measures and vaccination campaign as virus infections hit a new record. Authorities were granted stop and search powers at several locations across the city and scores of riot police vans patrolled neighbourhoods where the demonstrators marched with banners and yellow umbrellas. Regular anti-coronavirus protests are held across the country and Sunday's large gathering was joined by farmers who drove to the capital and parked tractors along the central Museum Square. The crowd played music, chanted anti-government slogans and then marched along thoroughfares, blocking traffic. The Netherlands had one of Europe's toughest lockdowns

Prince Andrew would 'shout and scream' if his teddy bear collection was knocked out of place by palace maids, a former royalty protection officer has claimed. Former bodyguard Paul Page made the revelation during an interview with Ranvir Singh for the upcoming ITV documentary, Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Paedophile.
The former constable, who left the Metropolitan Police in 2007, was part of the elite Royal Protection Squad and had access to the Duke of York's private residence. He claimed that Andrew had a bed with '50 or 60' stuffed toys and maids were given a laminated picture so each bear could carefully be put back in its original position.

The accused Times Square subway psycho apparently wanted to make sure he killed his victim—waiting to push her onto the tracks just as the train was entering the station, an eyewitness told The Post on Sunday. Maria Coste-Webber said she was standing just feet away when homeless ex-con Simon Martial showed no emotion as he shoved tragic victim Michelle Alyssa Go, 40, in front of the train Saturday. “[Go] was about a foot and a half away from the end of the platform waiting for the train, and he was about 3 feet behind her,” Coste-Webber recalled. “He pushed her at the same time the train

Just hours before an apparently innocent woman was pushed onto the subway tracks by a convicted felon, a group of protesters at a nearby Olive Garden were arrested for refusing to show proof of a COVID vaccine. Videos posted to social media showed a group of about half a dozen protesters staging a sit-in at the Times Square Olive Garden on Friday night to protest New York City's vaccine mandate for indoor dining. The protesters reportedly remained inside the Olive Garden for two hours and refused to leave, which prompted the restaurant—which usually stays open until midnight—to close early, according to FOX News.

His 'devastated' brother Gulbar Akram shared a message on social media in which he revealed he had been working with the FBI and 'liasing' with his brother. He also apologised and blamed 'mental health issues' for Malik's actions.(Snip)May Allah give strength and patience

Germany is now ‘dramatically behind’ its CO2 emissions target shortly after it abandoned half of its remaining nuclear plants, calling the tech ‘dangerous’. Germany’s Climate Minister, Robert Habeck has said that Germany is “dramatically behind” its emissions targets for 2030, just weeks after the country abandoned half of its remaining nuclear power plants. Habeck now says that the country has a “gigantic task” ahead should it still wish to achieve its goal of making itself climate neutral. According to a report by Euronews, a sudden surge in the country’s emissions is in part a result of the nation’s decision to abandon nuclear power by the end of 2022.

Election officials in the Texas county that includes the state capital, Austin, have rejected about half of applications for mail-in ballots, following new voting restrictions brought in by Republicans. The voter identification rules have led to the rejection of about half of the 700 mail-in ballots requested in Travis county for primary elections in March, according to the county’s clerk. The denied ballots in Travis county follow a similar trend across Texas, with officials in Harris county, which includes the city of Houston, and Bexar county, which includes San Antonio, also turning down a substantial number of mail-in ballot applications.

We're a couple of days away from one of two federal holidays that celebrate black people specifically, and bLACK people are comporting themselves worse than ever before despite being elevated as the most important people in American culture. Could it be that they were being judged by the content of their character all along?
