Pocho,

I was standing near an ATM kiosk downtown in Sac about a year or two ago now, and although I was like 15 feet from the guy using it, he turned around and did pretty much the same thing you are describing. Although he stopped short of hitting me the way you described, it was coming. What intervened is me pointing to a cop a half block away. Anyway, the point is, that shit goes on everywhere now. With the economy and all, they are letting the nut cases walk the streets. you're not going to move away from them.

No matter how bad anything gets, I am not leaving CA. I left TX of my own free will so I will stay here for the same reason. You cannot run from trouble. Maybe I will be killed some day for the fun of seeing me die but I will just say that is what was supposed to happen to me.

Sorry to hear about the things that have happened to both of you. Pocho, I am surprised you were a target, I thought the Raza would just think you were one of them.

I think RIM has a point. Bad things can happen to you anywhere. I'm sorry about what happened to you though, Pocho. It sounds pretty bad and I hope you're all right. I've been here in L.A. almost 14 years, and the worst thing I've experienced is some serious road rage. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Are you doing better? Something like that leaves us emotionally shaken for awhile. Creeps like that should be taken to the alley and delt with like we did in the old days.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I am doing good. Though my face looks like it's been hit by a truck. Actually, it might be an improvement, LOL!

Anyway, the perp is Armenian (Glendale PD finally posted their blotter). This is a good thing. Now the question is what can I do to this bastard to make him pay, financially, for what he did?

I have most of his info from the blotter, but I have not been contacted by anyone from Glendale PD. Should I be concerned?

If they know you're with SOS, yes. The Glendale PD was particularly unsympathetic with us the last time we rallied there. But there's probably no reason for you to tell them that.

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. :-)

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.

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.
