I hope you're okay and that you get over this trauma quickly. Think of it as just two stupid men, who were just doing what stupid men do.

The man was obviously deranged and people came to my aid, but it took a while to stop reacting to what happened. Plus, as a rather shy-I don't want to be noticed-kind of person, I was terrified by the arrival of police with sirens and the gathering crowd. <br /><br />Who knows where these people come from. I guess we're lucky these kinds of attack aren't frequent in our lives. cleemckenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456109243453726483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-11165176102176143702016-03-03T14:13:46.398+00:002016-03-03T14:13:46.398+00:00OMG, how could this horrible thing happen to you??...OMG, how could this horrible thing happen to you???

Those dudes sound like trouble and it's probably not the first time they have assaulted an innocent bystander. Yay for the dog that bit one of them. Doggie vigilante justice is fine with me.

I am so sure I would have at some point, smeared them with the poo. I understand your anxiety over not wanting to go in that area again, but I would do it in a heartbeat. NO ONE would tell ME I couldn't walk in a public area by their actions. I am soooo angry for you. Praying for you to heal from the inside out because this, my friend, was traumatic. <br /><br />I'm still angry.<br /><br />Still. <br /><br />Yes, I'm still angry.

He claimed he even threw it at one woman. And yes, he could have EASILY mistaken someone else's poo that had been left there days ago. He was just looking for drama.

Well, I'd never attack anyone, unless they were attacking someone who couldn't defend themselves. This just proves my thoughts on the world today, everyone seems to have a beef about something, and is willing to resort to violence at the smallest provocation.<br /><br />Its a scary world out there. You're probably lucky none of them had a gun. I'm glad you filed a police report, and hopefully the bullies will have to pay for their offense. Doesn't help your poor nose and eye, but hopefully you'll get some justice.<br /><br />*sending icy thoughts to help the swelling go down*dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-14121492514571493772016-02-04T02:59:42.921+00:002016-02-04T02:59:42.921+00:00I'm so sorry.
