Starting point is 00:00:00 Some back story. My wife and I, female 29 slash female 29 slash couple, lived in these apartments for going on two years and the entire time we lived there we were harassed by a neighboring family. They constantly tossed their garbage on our front and back porch area, blared their subs in front of our windows for hours on end while throwing giant parties all night long without fail and having a five-year-old child home the entire time. Needless to say they aren't the most good-hearted type of people you could say. Their car alarm was blaring for over 35 minutes in our window the same week I had a cancerous organ removed from my body and my wife was working nights and overtime to pay for insurance and medical costs. So we went to their door to ask if they would turn off their
Starting point is 00:00:44 alarm, and was met with, by asterisk, asterisk, I'll beat your ASS, before I even had the word car alarm out of my mouth. So we retreated to our apartment completely shocked. And this should have been our signed to run far and fast away from these horrific people, but she brought her mom to our door and they were screaming, D. Y asterisk asterisk asterisk, A, Asterisk, B asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk over and over and trying to get in my wife's face I'm calling 911 and letting them listen to what's going on and they send an officer. We tell them our story once they arrive and then they go and speak with the mother. She somehow convinced them that we were the aggressors and came to attack her daughter. Did they believe her? Well, of course. Why would they believe
Starting point is 00:01:33 two alternative-looking lesbians instead of a middle-aged mom? So the police left and they continue the harassment by screaming slurs and foul names at us out their windows or any time we walk by. I told the police we still feared for our lives and we really wanted some help, we spoke with the apartment complex multiples of times about our fears of this family and our treatment and that we would like to be moved at the very least. Fast forward to three months ago, I'm outside, and one of the family members walks up to us and goes, gotcha now white bit asterisk asterisk asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, and snaps pictures of us. So I take my phone out and record her driving away screaming slurs at us thinking I finally got some proof so they can leave us alone. And I walk to the
Starting point is 00:02:18 office to tell them what's going on and that we need something to change. They look at me like I'm crazy and exchange glances like I'm going overboard or something so I leave extremely frustrated and I'm starting at the ground. I suddenly hear loud voices and I look up to the whole family including the mother, daughter, son and niece. The only person under 18 was the niece. She looked to be about 12-14 years old. The man was huge and he got in my wife's face so I stood my 5 feet 4 inches, 120-pound body between their 6 feet 0 inches and above bodies to try and create some distance. And the daughter starts yelling for me to get out of her N.I asterisk asterisk asterisk-astresk face, and they were all going, oh, whatcha gonna do?
Starting point is 00:03:05 Cop callers, and the daughter pushes me so incredibly hard I go flying off my feet and onto my ass. Everything after that is a blur. I only remember things in three sets of images due to the extreme head trauma from the assault. I was trying to find my wife, I was looking for her, but all three females were on top of me kicking me in the head, face, and neck as hard as they could. According to my wife the man was shoving her to the ground and yelling things like, No by asterisk asterisk asterisk, get down by asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, over and over while preventing her from getting to me in any way. I, said, nothing.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I made no noise. The only thing I did was cry out when she ripped my knuckles off my right hand while stealing my phone from me, I was recording when the entire assault was happening so my phone screen was unlocked. The last thing I saw of the event was my unconscious, what I thought to be dead, wife sprawled on the concrete parking lot. The mother had fallen over my leg when I tried to pull her off of my wife and I thought it had snapped it hurt so bad and she's much larger than me. Regardless I stumbled over to my wife, the man was reaching all the way back with his leg to kick her face and I landed on my knees, absolutely screaming with grief and fear, stop kicking my baby, help, help, help we sari being jumped by four people, and he leaned down and said, keep screaming by asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, nobody is coming for you. And no. Body came. Nobody helped us. I stumbled up the stairs to my neighbor's apartment and banged on the door screaming for help and upon seeing our faces and recognizing it was us, she let us in and helped us call 911. The police arrived almost four hours later.
Starting point is 00:04:52 We went to the leasing office to receive help and have more potential witnesses. Meanwhile, they got in their car and drove to the front of the leasing office screaming they were going to beat our asses. Circling around looking for us and waiting for us to come out, blocking the emergency vehicles out from helping us. I need to mention that my wife had a bad feeling before this all started and put her phone in her pocket and recorded the entire assault. They ended up wiping my phone completely. Now this is the part that angers and hurts me the most. They fled that night and weren't arrested because they couldn't find them. But now, it's been three months and nothing has happened.
Starting point is 00:05:33 The detective said since the mom said it was a mutual fight, that that's probably what happened and he needs to investigate. Fine, but then called me two days ago to say that we are exactly where we were three months ago. They keep saying they can't find them but I'm friends with all their neighbors and they've been there. Due to the apartments not helping whatsoever and the police not helping at all we had to flee the apartments for our safety. We have been homeless for months looking for a new place while they've had Thanksgiving and Christmas in their place and we've been sleeping in our car with our service dog. We have used all the resources we possibly could but there are only so many available.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Now the FBI got involved and we had so much hope be sure they were going to prosecute on the highest court of law. But upon receiving a phone call from the detective ST the FBI he told me that all in all the ways the laws are written, it isn't a hate crime, because it is technically freedom of speech. The police said there's higher profile cases coming in so there isn't time for yours, and, the audio won't prove anything, and, they didn't break anything so really this is only going to be able to be considered a robbery the worst-case scenario, I've lost all my faith in the police, the FBI, and the justice system in general. Nobody is going to help. Nobody cares enough about our lives to help us. The police sat us down and took our account of the event and, can't find or get a hold of the
Starting point is 00:06:58 other parties to interview them so we can't do our due diligence, so. Doesn't the fact that they aren't responding to you say something? Doesn't the fact that we called 911 and they ran tell you anything? We are so hurt and so confused, so lost and so depressed. I've never felt this hopeless in my life. Last month I slept for two weeks straight and tried to overdose on pills. I don't know where to turn. So this is my question to you. What would you do?
Starting point is 00:07:30 When everything has failed you that you were taught was supposed to help your entire life. What would you do if your nightmare became your ongoing reality? You can't run, you can't hide and it hurts so badly, and it's beyond hurtful and angering. I can't let them get away with this but in reality. They are. How the F asterisk asterisk asterisk is this happening to us? How did we get here? How is this real?
Starting point is 00:07:58 Not what you think you should do. What would you really do? Edit to add, I normally always have mace on me. It was right inside the door. We were smoking a cigarette quickly before I went in to pack my wife's lunch so she didn't even have shoes on and I had a onesie on for comfort while I healed from cancer removal surgery. We were completely unprovoked. Also want to add to please tell me how you would miraculously defend yourself against four people each one outweighing you by at least 50% holding you down and kicking your face and tell me how well you would be able to protect yourself, or remember exactly what to do or what everyone has told you your whole life to do. and please tell me that if I'd had a gun and had shot someone that I wouldn't be sitting in jail right now
Starting point is 00:08:41 because you should absolutely know that that's how these things go. I didn't raise a hand partially because I've learned that if you do that, a lot of times it's hard for them to see who is at fault but I honestly and truly could not even do anything due to the sheer violence. The end.
