This was sent to me from a member of an Echo Park Yahoo Group they subscribe to. It could be meaningful and helpful to any of our friends in the neighborhoods:
Dear neighbors,
This past Friday January 30, a friend of my was brutally assaulted walking
from Blairs on Hyperion to Edendales Bar and Grill on Rowena. It was maybe
between 11:30 PM or 12:30 AM near the West Silver Lake Street entrance on
Rowena. He was pulled into the back of a dark driveway, had a gun pressed
against his temple and then savagely thrown to the ground and beaten crushing
his left cheek; he blacked out and doesn't remember what happened next. He
couldn't see both suspects but got a look at one who he describes as a tall,
young hispanic male. Larry was rushed to Kaiser on Sunset and when the police
came, one exclaimed that this was the 9th such assault by the same suspects in
2 weeks in the Silver Lake area, almost 1 assault a day!!! The police also
said they were just there the night before with another victim who had his
face sliced from the corner of his eye to the the corner of his mouth by the
same SOB, they also said they (the police) were on it.
I think if they were truly "on it" we SL residents would have been warned
somehow either by fliers or a news blurb. My friend is puzzled by the attack
and thinks it's a hate crime since they didn't take his wallet nor his watch
but isn't quite sure. I am scared but really really pissed at the police for
keeping the 9 assaults, one after the other on the down- low so, I'm going to
spread the word somehow and someway. A friend and I are making fliers and
going to some of the neighborhood bars, cafes and stores and posting warnings.
If you have any ideas contacting the news, email blasts etc.. let me know or
just help spread the warning any way you know how.
