Sunday

I was walking down the street on my way to the park to do some reading when a man came up to me asking me how I was. I said, I'm ok, and then he hit me in my jaw and as I turned from the severity of his blow he kicked me in the rump.

I turned to face him since I wanted to see my attacker for a possible report to the NYC task force on hate crimes since he said get the f×/= out of here you n&÷$$=× tran==.

My jaw is broken. I cannot eat any solid food for six weeks. Funhy, I have a speaking engagement for some progressive democrats in my area to speak about why we need to get rid of this 45 and discussions about the rise in hate crimes.

I am making a report but these things take time.

I'm not looking for sympathy just letting my emotion flow over as I try to put another incident of hatred and prejudice behind me, yet again.

1. Jesus Man...That's just wrong, so very wrong.

I always knew there was a significant number of scumbags like this around. Before Trump came alone they all hid because they realized how reviled they were in the general population. With Trump the gutless worms feel empowered, they think they can carry on their agenda of hate in public.

I hope they find the dirtbag that did this to you and I hope that you feel better soon.

4. I'm so sorry you have to go through this kind of thing

at all and I hope the police can find this person before he harms another. I suspect the odds are low on that though.

I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that if you need some emotional help, you have friends, family or professional services available to you. If DU will get you through, please feel free to vent.

5. Love

That's all I can offer you....love and as much courage as ever. That's what we must have going forward. Take heart and take the time to heal. The mental and spiritual healing will take much longer than the physical. Give yourself time. Peace and love, friend.

Primitive times we live in.

8. All I can say is

I wish I had been there. Not a violent person, but I would never let anyone get away with that.
Peace my friend.
