[sudo-discuss] just got mugged and maced near sudo room

[Naomi Most]

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.
