Monday Morning Madness


After reading the NY Metro this morning, I came across two interesting topics I couldn't go on without mentioning-
Man pingpongs for new teeth & Stomped to death.

Man pingpongs for new teeth,- At first I found this headline quiet funny, but Jamie Mandel is a Brooklyn bartender who lost his teeth in a car crash. In an attempt to raise $35,000, he will be playing pingpong for 15 hours straight at B61 next Saturday. Opponents will be charged $20 each. I will attend this event next Saturday to see what the outcome is like.

Stomped to death, on a more serious and sad note, trying to help others may not be worth the risk. Quinton Guerroro,a 61 year old man, was stomped to death after trying to break up a fight between a man and woman. Guerroro, who was only trying to help, intervened in the dispute, and the man and woman turned on him, as a result he was repeated kicked. Guerroro was severely beaten, died at Lincoln Hospital. and the couple was charged with murder. SMH - You must take responsibility for your actions.
