Call 911. Call 911. Call 911.
I know that we are often tempted to take preacher Chuck D at his word but contrary to his opinion 911 is not a joke in yo town. This happened to my girlfriend right after we moved into the neighborhood. I got home 10 minutes after she did, it was 9pm or so at night back in October – neither one of us thought to call 911. Thankfully one of the other 2 or 3 people (i forget ) he robbed that night did and they caught him within 30 minutes. He just had a knife but still very scary shit. Seems lone women are prime targets – so repeat after me ‘ if you see something say something’. i know there was another recent attemped mugging Park Pl in early april as well… bastards !
