Story of assault : On June 4th 2005 there was a girl who was coming home from a friend's house and then she saw a man coming towards her and she said that she didn't want to fight but apparently he did so he kicked her in the chest and she landed on her back propped up somewhat by a snow bank. It wasn’t even a second before she found out who he was yelling down the corner too as she had about eight guys surrounding her kicking her in the head and shoulders. Her eyeglasses came off and even with all the kicking she clearly remembers seeing them thrown out into the street and hit the hubcap of a car. Once her self-preservation kicked in she managed to roll onto her stomach and stagger away. she is foggy at this point but for some reason she stopped half way to look back and a guy handed her her glasses. she had no idea if he was one of the attackers or a bystander, no idea if her attackers were still there or had run away, she just knew that she made it to her apartment sore and swollen feeling angry and violated. Her mother was home but for some reason the police were never called.
