Andy’s 911 call
Andy writes in an email:
I never made the Blog about my 911 call <sigh> What’s a girl to do?
It’s odd that Andy refers to the incident as “my 911 call.” I thought the salient part of the story was that Andy was accosted and assaulted by a group of young men in Bedford-Stuyvesant one night recently, on the way to a holiday party, and that he fought his way out of the situation shaken up, but not badly injured. Yeah, there was something about a call to 911 and the cute cops that responded, but that seems sort of anticlimactic.

I worked with an at risk youth group in Bed-Stuy for a few years. I used to wait for that G train late at night and sometimes it didn’t come for 30 or 45 minutes. It’s definately got it’s areas you don’t want to be in after dark. I’m glad your friend wasn’t badly injured.
Have a Happy New Year!
Peace…………….

So I suppose it is noteworthy that I was not hurt and that nothing was taken from me - one doesn’t know how one will react in a situation like that. I am ‘pleased with my performance’ and would not mind 5 minutes on Oprah to tell my story and get my Mom on her ‘favorite things’ show. Was upsets me now about it is that it was as if we outsource our 911 to India: I had so much trouble getting my situation understood by the person on the other end of the phone. Even more upsetting is that I believe these kids were just looking to hurt people/shake em up for fun. If they wanted to hurt me badly and steal from me, then when they came at me from behind, it would have been with more than fists. Kids today…
