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

Wed Apr 10 10:04:49 PDT 2013

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.
