From America's #1 Jewspaper of note, the New York Times (3/2/07):
Man Is Convicted of Attempted Murder as Hate Crime in Village Rampage

An unemployed barber who went on a shooting rampage in an East Village wine bar more than four years ago, screaming, “White people are going to burn tonight,” was convicted yesterday of attempted murder as a hate crime.

The barber, Steven Johnson, 39, shot and wounded three people and sprayed several patrons with kerosene, threatening to set them on fire, at Bar Veloce on Second Avenue in June 2002.

He was disarmed after two women in the bar tackled him.

The women, Anne Hubbard, who was 34 at the time, and Ann-Margret Gidley, who was 23, were waitresses at the Gotham Bar and Grill. They had gathered at Bar Veloce with other Gotham employees for a farewell party for a waiter moving to Dallas, when Mr. Johnson burst in.

Mr. Johnson shot Ms. Hubbard in the shin as she tackled him. Shoji Iso, the owner of a sushi restaurant three doors down, heard the commotion and was shot in the wrist when he peeked in the door of Bar Veloce to see what was going on.

The jury of six women and six men in State Supreme Court in Manhattan convicted Mr. Johnson yesterday after four and a half days of deliberation. They rejected the contention of Mr. Johnson’s defense lawyer, Michelle Gelernt, that he was suffering from delusions and therefore not legally responsible for what he did.

It was the second trial for Mr. Johnson; a jury deadlocked in his first trial in November 2004.

One of the jurors, Harry Donas, 45, an engineer, said after yesterday’s verdict that the jury thought there were other reasons besides delusions to explain Mr. Johnson’s behavior. Among them, Mr. Donas said, were that his female companion had died of AIDS, that he planned it two months earlier, and that he was losing his business.

Mr. Johnson has a criminal record for weapons and drug arrests going back to 1985. He showed no reaction to the verdict yesterday. Sentencing was scheduled for later this month.

On the night of the shooting, Mr. Johnson — armed with a samurai sword, three pistols, kerosene and plastic handcuffs — took the train from his Williamsburg, Brooklyn, housing project into Manhattan, later telling the police that he went to the East Village in search of people partying, and that he wanted to kill as many white people as he could.

The rampage began around 2 a.m., when he demanded a man’s wallet and then shot him in the torso.

Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said after the shooting that the attack was so bizarre that it could only have been the product of someone who was “clearly deranged.”

REF: From CBS News, 10/17/02:
Victims Turn The Tables

(CBS) Like so many hero stories, this one began in a place no one expected — Bar Veloce, a watering hole in lower Manhattan.

"I guess we'd been there for like and hour and a half, and then heard a gunshot outside and the man who'd been shot walked in," recalls Robin Arzon.

As she and other customers in the bar watched in horror, the wounded man’s assailant followed him through the door and shot him again.

Typical nigger "honor and bravery"!!!

At gunpoint, alleged attacker Steven Johnson, carrying three loaded guns, 153 rounds of ammunition and a samurai sword, forced Arzon and the other 14 people into a cramped utility room at the end of the nightspot. The room had one door, no window and no escape.

"The whole evening was just a bad made-for-TV movie in many, many ways," explains Anne Hubbard, who had just finished her shift as a waitress at another restaurant when she found herself a hostage.

"There really was no room for panic in that room and that's probably why nobody did," recalls Hubbard.

But, things quickly went from bad to worse.

"He hands me garbage bag ties … has me tie everybody up," describes Arzon. "Then sprays everybody with gasoline, kerosene, and then he snatches me back up and kind of uses me as a shield, 'cause the NYPD were outside."

The two women say the man also had a fireplace lighter.

"In my opinion, he wasn't a lunatic," says Hubbard. "He was just somebody who went off the edge and lost his touch with reality. And once everybody was all tied up ready to be executed, it wasn't as much fun as running down the street, shooting people."

The gunman still had Arzon by the neck, using her as a human shield. Hubbard and her friend, fellow waitress Ann Margaret Gidley, managed to keep their hands free. When the gunman turned his back, Gidley attacked him.

"She just jumped on him and was hitting him," says Hubbard. "And I jumped up, and by the time I got there, they were both on the ground."

Hubbard tried to help subdue the gunman, but the downed man still had a gun.

"I felt his arm straighten, and then he started shooting and that's when I got shot," says Hubbard. "The SWAT team came in and shot him, with us on top of him. I went and rolled up my pant leg, and there were two holes in my leg and I said, 'Wow, I've been shot.'"

The bullet tore through Hubbard’s lower leg and broke the bone. But, she was alive. Arzon, Gidley and the rest of the hostages were safe. The entire ordeal, which seemed to drag on forever, lasted less than an hour.

I guess I just wonder.. when our women do the work of white men in subduing a feral nigger, what does that say about the state of manhood in NYC???

Greetings Brewski!!

Great post you made on this "unemployed barber"!! Gimme a break with that description of a feral boon gone TNB. The media will stop at nothing to spin that niggers are not so bad after all. Scary that the white women had to step up and subdue this dark demon. What were the men doing???? Hope all is well with you. I live in the state of NY and it is against the law to carry a concealed handgun in NYC, even if you have a permit to carry in the rest of the state!!!! ARRRRGH!!!!!!!! Damn gun laws like that!!!! If one person had been carrying in that bar, that boon could have been promptly dispatched and the evening's festivities could have continued!!

Black receives 240 year prison sentence for anti-white hate crime


Steven Johnson, 39, who is black

NEW YORK — A judge sentenced a man to 240 years in prison Wednesday for taking hostages in a bar and telling patrons that "white people are going to burn tonight." State Supreme Court Justice Maxwell Wiley told Steven Johnson, 39, who is black, that he had forfeited his "right to live in society." Johnson, 39, was convicted March 1 of attempted murder, assault and other charges, including some designated as hate crimes. Johnson invaded Bar Veloce, in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood, while nine men and six women were inside it June 16, 2002. He was carrying three pistols, a samurai sword and a container of kerosene. He told police he had left the Brooklyn housing project where he lived and taken the subway to go look for "happy" white people to avenge the mistreatment of blacks. He shot and wounded three people, including a police officer, and sprayed kerosene on several customers and threatened to set them on fire. Two women caught Johnson off guard and tackled him, and a policeman shot him. About a dozen victims and their supporters were in the courtroom for the sentencing.
