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

[Andrew]

Hi Naomi,

Really sorry this happened. Even more glad that you are ok! That's the
first time I've heard of the cops actually using "Find My Phone" stuff.
Tech savy cops are a good thing.

I know that every situation is different and who knows if this could have
been prevented, but maybe it's time to get serious about holding a self
defense class at Sudo Room.

Point of information: There are security cameras at 2141 Broadway. They are
IP cameras. The land lord gave us access at some point.
