Queens Grandmother Suckerpunched on Street Dies from Injuries
NY1 ^ | 22 feb 2017 | Ny1

A 69-year-old Queens woman suckerpunched in a random attack outside a deli last year has died.

Eve Gentillon never recovered from the brain injury she suffered when she was attacked back on October 15.

Upgraded charges are now expected against her accused attacker.

It happened on Sutphin Boulevard near 108th Avenue in Jamaica.

A man who police identify as Richard Springer came out of the deli and punched her in the head.

Gentillon hit her head on the ground and had to have a piece of her skull removed due to a brain injury.

Springer is also accused of assaulting a deli worker.

He was initially charged with assault and robbery for the attack.

This type of injury is why I don’t think it should be held against someone for being the one to “introduce a weapon” while defending themselves.

In such a situation, it seems you must prove you feared for your life, instead of simply recognizing that it was in danger.

Most people are not body builders, nor trained in hand to hand combat like police. I can see a cop being expected to take a slap or two before drawing a gun, but not the general public.

It’s a black “thang”. Tradition. (Sheltering & avoiding
giving up any information on the thug.)

From the headline one would have thought that the Queen of England’s grandmother died from her injuries.

“From the headline one would have thought that the Queen of England’s grandmother died from her injuries.”

Death by wood chipper. Reminds me of a 1991 TV movie called “Red Wind”, starring Lisa Hartman.

No snitching & keeping it real. Feel the vibrancy of a multi-culture, bigot!

Look at the video from post 17. You will see that this was such a completely unprovoked attack that no sane person would have had time to have drawn on the attacker. She was truly an innocent bystander.
