An elderly nurse who was badly injured after being attacked at a Los Angeles transit bus stop has died of her injuries at a hospital where she worked for 38 years, her employer announced on Sunday.
Sandra Shells, 70, was attacked by a homeless man at about 5.15 a.m. on Thursday near Vignes Street and Cesar Chavez Avenue, half a mile away from Union Station, while she was waiting to catch a bus to her job at Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries at the same medical facility on Sunday.

There sure has been a lot of these recently? No description of the killer, except he is 48 and homeless and has priors in other states.

The tolerance society has for these street scum has grown way out of proportion to their low value. The nurse sounds like an angel -- 70 years old and still working one of the most demanding jobs on the planet.
Los Angeles voters should be ashamed!

She sounds like a true saint, huh?
Democrats and Soros have driven the country so far off the rails…and wiped out PDs all over.
Death Wish is going to come true.

They let thousands out of jail last year, because of covid. I fear we are just beginning to see the results of that decision.

How long will angeles put up with these evil travesties /
And today we hear of a young, pretty , innocent UCLA grad student knifed to death while at work at an upscale furniture store.
It seems at some point, self preservation would move people to action.

That journalistic code for he was a black POS.

They think it will always happen to someone else, never themselves. They're also afraid to be called racists. It shows how little they think of their fellow LA’ers that they'll keep putting them (and themselves!) at risk to avoid being calling racist.

They’re pulling out all the stops on this story to not put out any pictures of the victim or the perpetrator.
No picture of the well spoken of nurse.

Yes, I couldn’t find a picture of her when I posted this, or I’d have surely posted it. This happened four days ago. Also of note this is a British news source. The Mail is often the only source for these stories. Our media won’t touch them.

The “homeless” are a cash cow for the politicians.
The voters want a solution so they don’t question the millions that are given to various groups to “solve” the problem that never gets solved.
I wonder just how much of the millions find it’s way back to the politicians either legally (campaign donation) or illegally (bribes, kick backs).
The best solution would be state run mental hospitals for those that can not take care of themselves and jail for those that are just petty criminals.
The worse solution would be the citizen saying enough is enough and become vigilante.

I would add a certain and swift execution for the crimes of rape and murder. We have cheapened life by making murder a mere felony.

They are happening all the time here, no one even bats an eye anymore its non stop..between that and the meth in the bushes, the crack pipes on the sidewalks, the hobos screaming at the top of their lungs while pissing on the street..the crime, it will never end because the commies love it too much for it to end
To: shadowlands1960
I politely somewhat disagree. For crimes of rape, full castration.
