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

[Anon195714]

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?

-G.
