You read that as an attack? I read it as condemnation of making light of rape, something one would think you'd agree with.

I'm seeing On Your Toes tomorrow afternoon, Eric. I'm going to be telepathically transmitting everything I see and hear to you by means of psychic, Balanchine-inspired brain-wave transference.
So be sure to tune in to my psyche Sunday from 2 PM Eastern Daylight Time to 5 PM and be prepared to tap (and jeté) your troubles away.
Don't tune in tonight because we're going to see Dialogues of the Carmelites at the Met, and instead of ballet and tap, you're liable to see a chorus line of French nuns singing their way to the guillotine.

While. I have no interest in coddling prisoners I never even brought up or thought about rape. For some reason that is on Namos mind. His analysis as usual is very britta-esque

Very sorry to hear of this terrible experience.
Hoping both you and your friend are ok.

Thanks everyone--I feel foolish for being so angry. My friend is ok--and I just have a bloody wound.

Eric, I am so very sorry. I hope you won't hesitate to reach out in the future. In my experience, these sorts of attacks tend to prey on one's mind over time.

You have every right to be angry. Nothing foolish there.

“Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” To this day, especially in times of “disaster,” I remember my mother’s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.
Take a moment and ponder this- yes- there was a jerk or two who jumped you & your friend but how many helpers did you find? You & your friend helped each other, there were police helpers, ambulance helpers, doctor & nurse helpers- so many people who came to your aid and so very many who expressed their heartfelt concern- like all of us here.
Don't let the actions of those very few blind you to the love shown by so many!

First I felt bad about Eric, now I feel bad about the Carmelites.

Namo, I like the rule about "no prison-rape jokes" (whether or not that was what sue intended). Thanks for reiterating it here.

Did they catch the punks who did this to you?

Eric, I'm so sorry that happened to you and your friend. I'm glad you're feeling better and that your friend was up to going to work. I think you're both pretty amazing. I hope the person or persons who did this are caught and held accountable. Under the circumstances I think you had every right to have your moment of hating this world and nearly everyone in it. Quite understandable. My gosh, of course you were having a bad day! Who wouldn't! Hang in there. xoxo

Anger is a natural human emotion. It's okay to feel it and recognize that your anger is warranted. On the upside, though your friend has worse physical injuries, if you weren't there, they could have been much worse.
I'm so sorry this happened to you, Eric. You and your friend are in my thoughts and I wish you both a speedy physical and emotional recovery (as I know you will) from this. People can be truly senseless and cruel at times. Big hugs from Seattle. :)

Seeing that Eric was the OP of such a thread, I figured something was up. Reading what happened to you and your friend was infuriating. Glad you guys are alright.

Eric, I am late to this thread, but all I can add (like many others) is that your anger is justified as is your venting and sharing about it to get some of that anger out. I know it is hard not to, but don't let the cruelness of a few take away from the beauty of the many.
I am glad that you and your friend are physically OK. Keep reaching out and venting if you need to, whether it be with someone professionally, or on this board. From my perspective, helping out those who need a shoulder, or encouragement, or just a hug is one of the beautiful things about those in this BWW community.
Hang in there.

Sounds to me like you need a little relaxing,
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh.
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine...

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. It honestly means a hell of a lot. I haven't pursued this with the police, which sounds like a victim mentality but I just don't think it's worth it. I have spoken to the bar's owner and he says he keeps video of things right outside his bar, so we'll see if something comes up.

That doesn't make any sense to me, not calling the cops when an assault happens.

The crime was reported--sorry if that wasn't clear. It was reported when we were at the hospital. I just don't think there's much more that can be done.

I'm sorry you were attacked, Eric. It's a horrible thing, and I'm glad you weren't hurt even worse.
Involving the police now is a way to potentially stop these assholes from doing it again to someone else.
You're not "playing the victim." You and your friend ARE the victims.
EDIT: So you reported it to the police, but you just don't want to pursue it with them (am I understanding it right)?

They have contacted the bar owner, who I am friends with so I assume so.
