OMG that sucks about your leg, and about P getting punched. What? What? that's freaky and scary, I hope he's OK now. eeek!

OMG! That is truly awful. Why the HELL would anyone do that - especially in Brooklyn? I mean, if you don't mind my asking, is this a racial/religious/cultural thing or totally random?

I hope he's okay.

He's fine. To answer your question -- maybe it was racial, since my husband is white and the person who punched him was not. But the puncher didn't say anything specific other than "Go home!"

We do live in a primarily African-American hood (Bed-Stuy) but honestly, it's been gentrifying for ages. It's not like we just moved here and P was the only white guy for blocks.

I'm inclined to think it was more crazy/random than anything, but also that possibly the guy might not have done the same thing if Paul were black or mixed-race.

I guess I'm saying it's kind of ambiguous. But, it's crazy to punch random ppl, whatever you might think your justification is.

I think that by definition, the person has to have been at least a little crazy.

Oh my God! P! Oh hon. *hugs* *hugs P*. I am horrified that this happened to you guys! How awful. I am so sorry. *hugs* I hope P is okay too. God, what is even with people? I just can't even. *sigh*

I hope your leg gets better soon too sweetie.

*MWAH*

Wow. That is rather creepy. I'm glad the damage wasn't worse, but how scary, and I hope P is ok now. And yeah, that the guy broke some small bone in his hand while punching. Gah.

And I do hope that you get either some answers tomorrow, with the promise of relief, or some relief before then. That leg stuff sounds painful, and I hate hate hate pain that throbs, it seems so much worse in so many ways.

Take care, and healing thoughts. And STAY WARM!
