Are the evicted squatters of Orient Avenue lashing out? One local wrote in to FreeWilliamsburg to describe their terrifying experience on the street (where parts of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were filmed, and where Michel Gondry himself just moved). She reports back: "On Thursday evening at 7:30 pm I was walking home along Orient Ave., listening to my iPod, when I was approached by a guy with a steak knife in his hand. He demanded my bag, yanked it from me, and started to leave. When he was a few steps away I panicked and began screaming...He turned back around and proceeded to stab me once in the chest - perforating a lung - and once in the arm. Luckily for me the blade broke and was left hanging out of my arm. I think that he would have continued attacking me if this had not happened." Luckily, her neighbors came out and helped her stay awake until the ambulance arrived, but her attacker is still out there. She described the man as "age 20-22, biracial, approx 6ft and 170lbs, wearing a Mets hat."

There only one thing left to do: Raid more Pro Domme houses.
I blame the Mets.
I blame steak.
hey muggers
next time try and steal something from somebody who would fight back.
at least challenge yourself.
yea, muggers are such pussies.
If someone wants your shit, just give it to them. No sense in fighting or making a scene at risk of your life.
I hope this person recovers fully and the guy is caught.
#6: Depends upon the age of the assailant. If it's a teenager, I have every reason to believe that they believe no human life has value and are just as likely to kill me anyway even if I give them what they want.
Was it Ambiorix Burgos?
I'm telling you, hold pencil in the navy seal style and downward thrust into eyeball then snap off. Gets em every time.
DONT WEAR YOUR IPOD ON THE STREET. I see people doing it quite often, if lowers your focus, even if they are turned off and/or the music is very low.
And use your head: do not scream if the mugger is close by AND armed.
Hope she gets better and the low life gets caught.
What we need is for the people to finally realize the government can't and won't protect you. We need to think and act locally.
We need neighborhood security forces composed of armed volunteers. Get your friends together, get handgun permits for security guards, and take to the streets.
"Get your friends together, get handgun permits for security guards, and take to the streets."
Nice plan, but... you'll be arrested for illegally carrying your handguns. A guard carry license requires your weapon to unloaded and locked except while you are at home, actively working for the employer identified on the license, or directly en route between those two locations.
