Great blog post Naomi and really sorry to hear that you experienced an
attack in Oakland. Thank goodness you weren't more badly hurt!
I'm still blown away by how, in your case, technology was so empowering and
helped find the perpetrators so incredibly quickly. Your forward thinking
on installing the tracking app made a huge difference (you've made me
personally realize how important these apps are and I'm going to install
one on my phone too now, just in case!).
We're a community, not just in Sudo room but outside of it too, so if I (or
I'm sure many of our fellow sudo'ers) can ever help let me/us know.

Great blog post, Naomi. It conveys a strong sense of resolve and power in
dealing with the jerks who mugged you, and with the aftermath.
What surprised me is that there were three of them acting together, and
the one who sprayed you appeared after the first two ran off. That's
organized activity, not casual opportunistic crime. It would be
interesting to see if any security videos emerge in the case, showing them
hanging out around the bus stop before they jumped you.
Probably the end result will be that they implicate each other, and all
end up doing well-deserved time. Probably also, one of them will be found
with a bunch of other stolen mobile devices, so your action will end up
solving other cases as well. BTW, three people acting together to commit a
felony, can also be prosecuted for felony conspiracy.
Do you want other SudoRoom members to go to any of the various hearings
and trial dates, for community support?

That's awful :( I hope you're doing
okay, assaults like that can
definitely be jarring.
If experience from various mass mobilizations & protests gives any
credence, there are some methods to alleviate the burning from pepper
spray. Medics in these situations often carry water bottles to flush
out the eyes of those effected. Basically you just lean your head back
and pour lukewarm water into your eyes to wash away as much of the
harmful chemical as possible.

That being said, that's usually when there are lots of people there to
help, and you're well prepared.

11:45pm at the 20th st bus stop (at Broadway)
waiting for the 72M.
So, ah, watch yourselves.
I was transferring my iPad to my backpack when 2 muggers wrenched it
out of
my hands and a third one maced me right in the
eyes. I mean not just a
little spray, a serious "I mean to blind you" lengthy spray.
An emergency team showed up about 6 minutes after the incident, and the
cops showed up about 8 minutes after. They were very helpful.
One of them asked if I had "Find my Phone" installed, which I did. They
activated it and located the iPad right away. They detained 2 suspects
who
were carrying the iPad.
I sat in the back of a cop car as they stood under the light. One
suspect
wasn't so clear to me, and I said so -- I
wasn't sure. The other suspect
was *definitely* the girl who maced me, so I said so. They let the guy
go
and took the girl in. That felt really weird.
I'm going to write this up in more detail on my blog, because my face
feels
like it's melting off so I'm not going to
be able to sleep anyway.
What a strange experience.
