Someone drove up while I was walking to BART and shot a paintball gun at me from their car, hitting me about 10x at close range in my back, side & neck. What the fuck is wrong with peoplepic.twitter.com/p28HXPSoI8

I wish I could say that I saw the car, but it came up from behind and the first shots were fired into my back, which caused me to bend over & reflexively shield my face. I heard the pops & felt sharp pains, briefly thought I was going to die. They sped off before I saw anything.

I don't want to leave the SFBA, but as I was stepping into the bath I caught sight of myself in the mirror. 6 angry bruises on my back, hip & neck. If this living situation were a boyfriend, I'd leave him, but instead I'm like, "OK, just NEVER go outside when the sun is setting."

Huge thanks to all the friends & twitter followers who reached out. Aside from being a bit banged up, I'm fine, and didn't need medical attention. I'm sad about feeling increasingly unsafe when walking alone, but I don't feel traumatized. Thank you for all the support.

I've felt broadly grateful for the incredible support from you guys, especially when my stepfather took his life earlier this year. You've all been really great. Life is hard for almost everyone, but a lot of you go out of your way to remind others you care. That's really special

Do you have any idea why you were targeted?

I would think “if” would be the first question before we get to “why”.

The more I hear about SF, the more it seems like a some sort of dystopian vampire movie, a la The Strain.

Or Gotham...

The universe has been dropping hints that you should leave. Now it's screaming in your ear GET OUT.

Yes, please write a newspaper article on this so it gets the public attention it merits.

Get out! You don't have to get far away before that crap stops. Marin, Berkeley hills, Daly City...

Yes, maybe a group of friends should all arrange to move at the same time to make it easier
