Crazy person walked past me on the sidewalk, suddenly flung her hand back and slapped my arm hard enough to leave it red 5 minutes later. She just kept walking. Urban CA, everybodypic.twitter.com/SYfEduY5mC

Bruising starting to show. I don't know how to best solve this, but it's not OK for people to attack others on the street. l live in an area with a large homeless population and most of these people are actually pretty good neighbors. People like this create unnecessary conflict

I feel terrible for you, and strongly encourage you to alert the police. Your assailant is of course disturbed, and a danger to others in the community.

Ugh, sorry to hear. LA still has some of the old urban weirdness gone from eg. New York. There’s policy things to discuss re: homeless interventions, but on a personal level situational awareness goes a long way- my 90’s NYC instincts have gotten me out of a lot of trouble here.

No, it's not ok and I'm glad it wasn't worse. Unfortunately this is a symptom of lawlessness and a city creating an atmosphere where people normalize bad behavior
