Woman stabbed man on CTA platform because his music was giving her a headache: police

CHICAGO — A 38-year-old woman was charged with stabbing a street musician on the CTA Red Line’s Jackson platform. Barbara Johnson, of Blue Island, Ill., was charged with aggravated battery wi…

The judge, who cited her “significant criminal history” in denying bail, called her a “clear and present danger to the community.”

Malinowski, 26, is recovering but said Thursday it will be a while before he is able to play his guitar again.

“It’s one thing to get beat up or robbed, but at this point, I feel like I got robbed in the worst way,” Malinowski said. “She essentially destroyed my arm and that’s my whole livelihood. That’s the whole reason I even have a career.”

Malinowski was performing at the Jackson station, when Johnson approached him and unplugged his amplifier, he said Thursday. She then started to push him and pull at his hair and tried to shove him onto the subway tracks. Malinowski pushed at Johnson, trying to create space between them, but the attacker continued pursuing him, prosecutors said.

Johnson then stabbed Malinowski in the left arm, smashed his guitar and threw his equipment onto the tracks.

Johnson shoved Malinowski so hard, he almost fell off the platform, prosecutors said. They eventually wound up wrestling on the platform. Malinowski was able to free himself before Johnson stabbed him in the left arm. Johnson, who appeared in court with a black, right eye, was punched repeatedly by Malinowski as he tried to free himself from her grip.

After stabbing the musician, Johnson tossed his belongings on to the tracks, but was arrested soon after.

“At that point, I was bleeding out everywhere,” Malinowski said. “I just lit a cigarette, sat on a bench and watched her destroy my shit.”

Life imprisonment for attempted murder. We don't want her amongst us anymore, she's lost her privilege to be in our society.

Here, AGAIN, is a rabid critter with "extensive criminal history" such that the judge is holding it in a cage without bail. I wonder if she'll be charged with a hate crime (or even attempted murder)? Oh, wait, the victim's a white male and the criminal is a black female. He oppresses her - you know, by providing Western civilization and technology - since Wakanda's been in the planning stages for a few thousand years and South Africa's having rolling blackouts ever since having tortured the whites to death who fed them into twelve times their original numbers and provided electricity. How 'bout gratitude, instead of a rape tsunami unparalleled elsewhere on Earth? She may have taken his livelihood away, as he's stated. Hey, bitch, your existence is giving all of society a headache - maybe we should take turns stabbing you, a la Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express". And that's some kinda rough 38 years on Stab'Neisha Rave'Tavious Johnson. I differentiate - discriminate - between different blacks, and you know who's fucking who in our country. A few blacks are terrorizing the rest of the blacks, and any white who's so unfortunate or foolish as to live among them - or even away from them, but near a highway or an outlying train extension.

Goddamn. Racist much?
 
@George Spelvin ! That's enough!

You went from a Chicago Transit Authority Platform, thru Marvel Comics fictional country of Wakanda, to a large sweeping inaccurate cherry-picked generalization of some South Africa events.
And not in a nice way.
None of it supported your hypothesis of a motivation for the crime, which if I understand it was that this black woman felt the white busker man was oppressing her and she erupted into senseless unprovoked violence over this thought.? Yes?
Are you under the impression that sudden outbursts of violence for no sensible reason is restricted to black people against white people? Because they feel they are actively being oppressed? Think about it George.
I have a hunch that she would have attacked any race or either sex making the exact same sound. She complained about the noise. (Look up noise sensitivity or Hyperacusis).
She's, dangerous, and mean, doesn't seem to ever learn from her mistakes and may or may not have neurologically based hearing condition. And really hurt that man. For no sensible reason
Any senseless violence? Usually mental/physical illness or intoxication have some part in. Or just meanness.
It wasn't a political, social or racial statement. So that doesn't support your conclusion.
There is a hell-on-earth rape and sexual assault rate in South Africa. How does that speak to Barbara Johnson's senseless violence? "Twelve times their original numbers"? That says nothing, tells us nothing. Twelve times 1 ? Twelve times how many there were when the Dutch arrived? or Apartheid ended???
I only point out that if you're going to use so darn many fallacious arguments sprinkled amongst the very troubling stereotypes and presumptions about blacks, the mockery and the presenting of vague, unconnected, superfluous points (?) to misguide us to your analysis, don't expect any support.
In other words, If you are going to present such an astonishingly racist opinion, at the very least try to support it logically. The complete intellectual laziness and arrogance for you to feel a single one of us would find your words compelling is very insulting to your readers and audience.
So, I've given you some notes, very harsh. I think if you reflect a moment, you might find you'd like to rewrite and post below.. No George, don't explain. Rewrite it. With logic and critical thinking. cause people to think, ask questions. And really really rethink the message.
Good luck

My reading comprehension has been on, And emotions off.

P.S. Please don't ever suggest @Keepalowprofile cannot comprehend your written words or to Shut Up.
It bothers me.

Great MadLibs!

I can make the sentence say:
A few whites are terrorizing the rest of the whites........
A few Armenians are terrorizing the rest of the Armenians....
A few Cheerleaders are terrorizing the rest of the Cheerleaders!
Everything works!

"Blacks should be grateful to white people for civilizing them and giving them electricity and feeding them because these are clearly things they couldn't do for themselves ever!"
 
A woman who allegedly told cops she stabbed a guitarist on the Jackson Red Line platform last year because his music gave her a headache has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Barbara Johnson, 39, pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm in a deal that called on prosecutors to drop three additional aggravated battery counts, court records show. Judge Vincent Gaughan sentenced Johnson and gave her credit for the 436 days she’s been jailed since the February 4, 2020, attack.

Micheal “Machete Mike” Malinowski, a frequent performer on the downtown busker scene, was shredding a tune at the CTA station when Johnson pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the arm, prosecutors said. Malinowski’s Gibson electric guitar was left in pieces on the nearby tracks. His amp was totaled, according to a GoFundMe campaign pitch that raised $7,190 to help him get back on his feet.
