    I was nervous as hell every time I got on the train for weeks after my incident.
    Kept looking out for the guy at the station he got off at thinking he'd get on from there.
    I reported it to the cops and the cop who took my report looked like he was annoyed at me making the report.
    He said I'd be contacted but never heard from them.
    I think it’s normal to be nervous after an incident...I’d be more concerned if you stay traumatized for long period of time.

    After being hit by a car as a pedestrian I was nervous as hell crossing streets, walking in parking lots...not so much now.  Since I took on a car and survived, I can take  on a club carrier maniac... B)


    Really?

    I too was hit by a car as a pedestrian. A Hummer, to be exact.

    Didn't have one. It was a hit and run. Nobody got the plate number. Dude sped off into the Philadelphia night. It hit me from behind as we were walking up the street after the bars let out. I still have the pants with the tire marks on them. Crazy thing is, other than fucking up my back a little bit and a few broken nails, there was nothing wrong with me. I was discharged from the hospital  after just a few hours.

    The police sketch is pretty funny. I still have that too. It's just a picture of a stick figure crossing the street, with an arrow pointing to the other side of the street.....and then he drew this huge suv with an arrow pointing directly at the stick figure. That cracks me up for some reason.

    This was 15 years ago and I'm still a little leery about crossing streets but it's never been something that really affected me too much.


    What was your situation like?

    Do you know how fast it was going?  I was hit at low speed, appartley, I was knocked uncinsous for 5 minutes.  The last thing I remember is a scream, me looking at the windshield, and then the bumper...after I came too, I remember someone helping me in the ambulance...very scared.  I hope you are alright with no serious injuries.  In Canada unless my injuries effect my quality of life I’m unable to expect much in compensation...that’s why I wondered if you could sue...once again I really hope you are alright, it’s life altering in some ways...

    I'm totally fine. This was a Saturday night and I was at work on Monday like it never happened. Couldn't have been that fast. I did black out for a brief moment and when I woke up, I remember these girls holding me down for fear that I would hurt myself further if I moved a certain way. I think they were nurses actually.


    Did this just happen to you? Are you trying to sue the person? Sounds worse than what I went through...

    Terrible!  I hope no lasting physical or emotional injury.  So sorry to hear about this, Juggler!

    It a small leather club-like weapon, usually with led sewn into the end.  Looks like this:

    What the guy came at me with looked more like a policeman's baton, or a short, stubby black baseball bat.  Kind of like this only rougher and thicker at the head:

    From the sound of the contact, I thought for sure I was looking at some major damage.  But, no, the first hit was a heavy blow to the back passenger window which, amazingly, did not break.  Toyota must put bullet proof glass in those windows.  The second blow was to the hatchback which must have landed mostly on the window which again held, although there are a couple of small dents on the metal to the side of the rear window.  The worst damage was to my nerves.  This guy was crazy mean and out to kill for absolutely no reason other than that he thought I was fallowing him,  However, in fact, it was he who followed me out of the store.  Totally crazy.

    Glad to hear. Are you going to get it repaired (the small dents).
    Better the car than you.
    Very crazy, definitely on something like meth.

    I hear you, lastexit.  Anger is definitely one of my emotions over this. I have to work hard to not let anger rule my thoughts.  That's hard, of course, but what's even harder right now is keeping my feet on the ground.  I was physically and emotionally smacked by the knock out game head punch a few years ago but for some reason, even though I suffered no bodily harm this time, the mind fuck of this recent incident is even harder to deal with.  I'm not sure why except that maybe it's because I don't know what this recent one was about.  The knock out game punch in the past was probably a gang initiation thing.  It comes closer to having a name or words for it.  The recent attack has no name, no purpose, nothing I can ascribe to it and I feel like I'm hanging by threads.  I worked to hard to get past issues to let this get to me.  I have to let time do it's healing thing.

    Thanks for reaching out here.  And best wishes for you partner's family.  I truly wish them well.

    In a nutshell...I was crossing the street (I had the right away), a lady was turned right into me...all I reall remember is hearing a scream, looking at windshield and looking at the bumper on impact...I was knocked out for 5 minutes, I was checked out at the hospital to make sure there was no bleeding in the brain.  I had 2 perfectly good knees, now I don’t, and I hardly ever get headaches, now I get debilitating migraines...I got 2 years to sue...but my injuries have to be life altering... 

    i hope you are doing well...no serious injuries...it’s sucks that people just drive off, don’t except responsibility.  In my case she was charged, and has insurance...and will pay for quite awhile with much higher insurance premiums...

    I can't believe the guy had the nerve to think saying "I'm sorry" would take care of matter.  Like, "I'm sorry I'm a dipshit racist that wanted to beat the living daylights out of you with a baseball bat.  Hope you don't mind". 

    I thought I saw my guy today downtown but then decided it wasn't him.  I don't know if I'm paranoid or just getting old and forgetful.  I'd sure like to forget this incident.  It still haunts me.  Time heals all.  I must be patient.

    Thanks my friends. 

     I just heard from a Goodwill rep.  She told me the guy went back into the store after the incident and complained to the manager that I was "following him around".  Crazy!  But she also told me the incident was recorded by their security cameras.  Good!  I'll let the sherriff's office know they have it on tape.
