[PLUG-TALK] Violence

I'm back home from Kaiser Interstate where I went after being assaulted
as I walked down the street.

A fellow jumped up onto the sidewalk holding a four foot galvanized pipe
across the sidewalk to block my way. I stopped and said 'excuse me?'
Then he jumped back, grabbed the end of the pipe with both hands, and
swung it around at me, hitting me in my left arm, just below the
shoulder joint that is scheduled for replacement surgery on the 16th.
He hit me so hard that I almost fell over. Because of the impending
shoulder surgery I was wearing a sling on my left arm. I can only think
that this fellow was trying to hit me where I was already injured.

I screamed and staggered away, crossing the street. I pulled out my
phone and called the cops, who took 15 minutes to get there. A couple
of passers by saw the incident, and when the fellow, still holding the
pipe, started across the street toward me, they went up to him and said
something that I couldn't hear. The fellow walked off and the passers
by left as well, in a different direction. When the cops got there I
made a full police report.

Kaiser's x-ray machine says no additional fracture, thank god. My arm
hurts like bloody hell. My sense of security is also shattered. I had
just gone out for a walk. Is any place safe?
