My Name Is Not Important II

I am the "no name/no address" who was attacked in Johnson Lake area.

Thank you for posting comments. I would just like to "correct" one item. The police WERE responsive within 7 minutes but they did NOT care about listening to my description and they did NOT want to take fingerprints (of which there were many). However, later that SAME day, Chief Webster showed up and he made one call and
detectives were here within the hour to take fingerprints - this second team of officers were professional, interested, polite, and did the job that could have been done at 6:30 AM that morning.

Yes, the attacker is floating between 3 buildings on Division Street between Lehigh - Philadelphia - and NY Avenue. I saw him again today and called police. Apparently, because he had disguised his face (appeared clean shaven at my house), then removed some sort of cosmetic "mask" and when Police went to where my neighbor tracked him (Division St by Phila. Ave)after the attack, the attacker's photo was taken (neighbor identified him as leaving property,changed clothes, black baseball cap pulled over eyebrows, etc.) and when their eyes met the attacker slithered around the back of the Division St property and disappeared.

The police then went up there later that day and took a photo of a guy WITH facial hair....Of course, his photo was placed among about 6 others....all had facial hair....I could not identify him for that reason. However, the attacker IS very practiced at his craft - make NO mistake. He knew exactly to talk in a low voice "where's the cash"...these were the ONLY words he spoke...and then followed each question with a wholloping punch. He spoke good English...no accent or street jargon...no tattoos, no jewelry..Very slim black youth about 19-22 years old, 5 ft. 6in. tall...eyes that have a real BAD glare about them.

I don't know how long he was in my house before the attack, but he meticulously removed everything from my purse (including a very small amount of cash), and had the contents of the purse laid out across the kitchen counter. In the kitchen is where he picked up the letter opener/dagger. His fingerprints will be on that and have been sent to Baltimore for analysis which I hear could be several weeks or even months depending on who you ask.

Quick response from neighbors across the street to my screams for help brought swift conclusion to what could have been a much different ending. These neighbors rent a single family home and are GREAT neighbors.

The Daily T. mis-quoted or misunderstood my comment about rental housing as my comment was directed to the 5-unit non-compliant building that literally "rents by the hour" which Community group has spent YEARS trying to get rid of. Also, we have found out who owns the homes in question on Division Street ...name is Cannon...Should be familiar as I understand family member(s) are politically involved with County Council....

Anyway, IF City or County (since we pay both taxes) had been "ON" the situation with decrepit, non conforming and non-welcomed tenant-types (drugs, prostitutes, thieves, criminals, etc) their coffers would be at least $50,000 richer.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY IN TROUBLE. More vacant houses will be seen AND mine may be one of them, and not due to the stigma of this attack incident. I really LOVE the lake area and have UTMOST respect for neighbors who are renters AND home owners in single family residences but will NOT continue to tolerate the lack of action on the part of the elected officials who are content to let the housing and crime situation erode. My property values are not worth much of anything now thanks to their decision making.

Yes, they should be ashamed. Yes, I WOULD LIKE TO SUE but cannot find a lawyer who is NOT in the pocket of the government. All suggestions welcome. I will read this Blog in the forthcoming days to get your help.

Thank you.

Johnson Lake Lady, name/address not important.
