I was not with SOS when you had that rally, so they would not know me. Besides I don't sport a sign with my online moniker. :-)

Pocho, are you still going to love the Dodgers after this? :D

In the case I mentioned, the police nor the DA EVER contacted me. If you really want to follow through, you should see if they file a case against him. Keep checking the court for his name. That's LA county though, and you have to go into the court to check case files...unless you want to sign up on their electronic system and pay money. (not reccommended).
In any case, they are going to have to charge him or spring him for your offense, but they may hold him on the other case you mentioned. If they hold him on that one, the DA can wait to decide about filing in your case.
You can go to the courthouse and request his case files to see if, when, and what for, he was arrested before. you ccan learn alot about the guy from what you read there.

Pocho, you should be able to get a copy of the police report on this. These aren't generally available to the public, but they are to the crime victims. Once you know this guy's name and date of birth you can do a criminal record search on him which will give you his complete record in L.A. County. The courts used to charge a $5.00 fee for this but they don't anymore.

I am so sorry this happened to you. I'm glad you didn't get shot because that is sometimes what happens.

California is becoming more lawless as time goes on. I want to leave really badly. If all goes well, I hope to be out by the end of this summer.

This is the reason I carry a knife with me wherever I go. Not as young and quick as I used to be...have to even the odds somehow.

Ditto, A rigid one hander, and AG has seen it. It has psychologically stopped quite a few thugs.

Sorry about what happened to you, Pocho. Growing up in the Rosemead-El Monte area in the 60's-80's was not much better. EM Flores & Las Lomas was always causing problems.

It may have been one of these socialist/anarchists. They mostly seem to cause these kinds of problems when we protest.

I received a copy of the a restraining order that the Armenian thug, Aram Hambardzumyan, was served on my behalf. I went to the Glendale court house and found out he was given summary probation. So a thug can just, unprovoked, hit someone in the face, and get probation. America, what a country!

Now I just have to determine whether I should go after this thing in civil court. I really don't have any damages, as I did not go to a doctor. Is it really worth it to go after this guy in small claims?

I'm not sure you could go after him in small claims. You haven't any monetary damage. But you should call and ask.

Don't know about court, but an ambush might be in order.
