Got badly beaten....

---

a few years ago I was homeless and sitting in a basement of a church that allowed homeless women to sleep thier at night. ther was taped off areas on the floor no one was allowed to cross. for your personal security and the security of your belongings. this mentally ill, black, ex-con lady started crawling on the floor with her hands and knees. I was reading a book and listening to the radio with earbuds waiting for the lights to be truned off at 10pm. I saw her and said something like 'hey ya gotta stay in your space' 'it's the rules'. She quickly got an angry look got up and straddled me grabbed both my hands and started waling on me. on the left side of my face. the staff that was supposed to be trained to handle homeless women only clapped her hands and kept saying 'ladies, stop', LADIES, STOP', finally one her 'friends' pulled her off me. I was a bloody mess. The police we're called. I was kicked out. She was given a bus ticket to another shelter I wasn't so I was alone in a big city in the middle of night trying to walk back to the day shelter. oh before I left I pressed charges on her but the county/city DA threw the case out cause it's 2 homeless women. a few years later I had decayed cracked teeth the dentist said they we're consistent with being hit. he very roughly pulled them out. had no pain for about 2 or 3 months then the pain began went to my dr who said I had TN been in pain ever since.
