SMACK! My glasses went flying (they
were already missing a temple). I went to the sidewalk to find them
and two guys started yelling at my coworkers.
One attacker had a gun. They began
mugging us, one by one (while I crawled around thinking, "Hey,
watch out for my glasses.")
The first guy handed over $5. One woman
gave her wallet. Another gave her purse. I found my glasses as
another—brave, crazy or both—pulled her wallet from her purse and
her cash from her wallet. She threw the bills on the ground. "You
can have my money but there's stuff in here that I need."
The unarmed one stooped to pick it up.
"I could kick him in the face," I thought, "...And
that guy would shoot me."
Once they'd gathered the cash they ran.
The cops rounded up a bunch of Hispanic
men. Not one fit the descriptions we'd provided.
