COMMUNE SEX SHOCKER
SECRETS OF THE S.I. 'GUNSHOT' HIPPIE HAVEN
By HEATHER GILMORE
June 4, 2006 -- A hippie-style, hilltop commune on Staten Island has turned the '60s peace-and-love philosophy on its head, pressuring members into sex, green-card marriages, pill-popping and wacky sex sessions with a shrink, two ex-members claim. Those who refused were shuffled into the worst lodgings and pressured to leave, the defectors said.
Ganas, where a co-founder was ambushed and shot six days ago by a former member of the commune, has become a virtual paradise lost.
"They say they are all about peace and living in harmony, but they are really the evil-doers," said Walter Enquist, a former freelance journalist who said he left the hippie haven in 1999 after a 21/2-year stint.
"I never felt comfortable there - it wasn't your typical hippie way of life."
The Monday-night shooting of Ganas co-founder Jeff Gross has turned the glare of public attention on the kooky collective as cops continue the hunt for alleged shooter Rebekah Johnson, 43, a former Ganas member.

I live in the area where this "commune" is located. For years the community has regarded it as a cult more than a commune. The members I've encountered seem to be recruited from the Twilight Zone.

Well, we have something in common. I live near Scientology dominated Clearwater.
But they're just into imbezzling, euthanasia and murder- no freaky sex.

Sounds like the RATS Party to me.

Sex "shocker"? The author of that line certainly doesn't get out much.

My first thought was...here's the report on a commune where there's
only monogamous, married male-female couples.
That would be a shocker.

Turned the "60s peace-and-love philosophy on its head"? I thought sex, drugs and violence was what the 60s was all about.

This place is one of their businesses. It's a coffee house/cafe where you can hang-out, mellow-out and engage in some groovy dialog. It's definitely far-out!

Wow! Was he a public defender at the time? Although I'm not sure,I don't think so.Einhorn had lots of rich friends,including an heiress of the family that owned Seagram's.
My understanding is that the Einhorn case was,notoriety- wise,Philadelphia's "OJ case" of the 70's.

Spiritually speaking and otherwise ... some people REFUSE to grow up and RESENT all godly authority.And I suppose 'godly authority' is the authority you claim to have or that which you approve.
I promise you, nmh, no apostolic authority passed down to you or anybody you know or ever heard about.

Well, looks like Arlen was responsible for letting this POS enjoy another 16 years of freedom.
Eighteen months later, Maddux's decomposing corpse was found by police in a trunk stored in a closet in Einhorn's apartment. Einhorn's bail was set at $40,000.00 at the request of his attorney, Arlen Specter; Einhorn was released from custody in advance of his trial by paying 10% of the bond's value, or $4,000.00.
In 1981, days before his murder trial was to begin, Einhorn evaded bail and escaped to Europe. Einhorn traveled in Europe for the next 16 years, along the way marrying Annika Flodin. Back in Pennsylvania, the state convicted him in absentia in 1993 of the murder of Maddux. Einhorn was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
