I am thinking hate crime also. He didn't demand money or anything, ran right by the cash register and out the door without even taking a package of mints. I don't believe he said anything, but when I hit the ground, I started yelling and screaming at the top of my lungs, and at that point everything was kind of a blur.
And yea, gave the police a description of the man. Unfortunately, since it was raining, he was pretty well covered up, so not much to tell, He was wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt, with the hood pulled up, dark sunglasses, and a scruffy beard. Couldn't see much else. And before the cops finally came, I did see him walk by the windows again! luckily, there were several people in the store at the time. I told the cops that I has seen him after the attack walking outside. So they gave me the case number and said that if he comes back in, call them and give them the case number so that they can follow up. Yea, right.
We do have a couple of spray bottles of video head cleaner, and I'll have one with me next time he comes in. I'll spray his face and then whack him upside his head with the chrome model of a man's "private parts" we have. Let him explain to his buddies why he has a penis shaped dent in the side of his head!
The attack really did freak me out though. Never been in a fight, not even in school. Other than verbal harrassment and having things thrown at me from passing cars (the typical minor gay bashing/harrassment), this is the first time since I was 20 that I've been physically attacked. (that one was getting shot in the chest by a pellet gun by some passing rednecks in Dallas). We do teach our students some basic self defense as visually impaired kids, and I'm glad I at least remembered some of it. I'll be surprised if I hear anything else from the police. They tend to not follow up on attacks on gay and lesbian folks. So I am contacting the KCAVP (Kansas City anti violence project). They'll do more followup than the police will.
Are you sure we're talking about the same God here, because yours sounds kind of like a dick.
I was too freaked out, so I gave her my number, then called my partner. After 20 minutes and no call, I called the store owner and told him. He had to call the police to get them to come to the store!! The two cops that came, did dust the counter for fingerprints. They did tell me they couldn't list it as a robbery because he didn't ask for money or take anything. They felt it may have been a random assault. They took my information and left. That was it.
