Ever since my post-operative 7 months in Sacramento, California some three or so years ago, I've experienced several personal attacks. In Sacramento, I was dragged across a parking lot for about 15 feet; and there, too, I experienced being hit on the head in my rented room causing a black eye that I had for several days.
After that, when I returned to El Paso, I was attacked several times. One time an intruder came in even though the door had been locked. I was in bed; he took my watch off my arm and money from my wallet. The other times I was attacked when I answered a front door knock. I opened the door, and someone hit me hard on the head with an object, causing me to lose consciousness. Upon awaking, I usually had a black eye and a scar that sometimes became permanent.
No one claimed responsibility to any of these hostile acts against my person. But the El Paso police thought I might from now on be targeted from someone or some group. At 80 years of age, rather than going to San Antonio to live--as was suggested for a place to move to--I decided to go back to Washington, DC, which I liked in the past times when I visited generally for over a week to several months,, and felt I could survive in--at least for some time more!
