An Arizona grandmother who beat cancer twice was killed after a brutal attack by a career criminal, court papers revealed.

Susan Gehrke, 61, died from her injuries after being punched so hard her dentures were knocked out outside her apartment complex in Tucson last Friday.

Prosecutors in the state claim Dahseir Edward Jefferson, 27, lashed out at Gehrke after Jefferson attacked a friend of hers in what authorities said was a random act.

“Always have something between fist and firearm.”

I wish I could take credit for that. But I read it somewhere.

I used to have a lot of books. My husband died and I had to move. I gave the really special ones away. Some to family and friends.

This one is one I talk about all the time when crazy stuff is happening all over the country.

Funny how well this book stuck in the minds of people who read it.


My condolences on the loss of your husband.

I love to read and find it difficult to part with books. I still have textbooks from HS and college...lol.

A lot of Gavin’s book stuck with me because he gave great examples of why you need to listen to your gut. Something that has always been taught and encouraged by my family.

We just had another “random act” out here in Capitola, California. Young black male walked up to a 73 year old white woman and stabbed her to death.

Capitola is a nice little beach town on the Monterey bay. Very affluent and a place you wouldn't expect that type of violence. Maybe this will hit home for the politicians who are tying the hands of law enforcement and keeping these violent, psychotic criminals on our streets?

I grew up in Monterey, so that’s shocking to hear.

Trying to get a rise out of you— provoke you so that he had a basis for attacking you.
