OBOY!

First, Lady, you did a good thing by going to the hospital and getting them to call the police to get the correct action started. The reason? Simple. This guy who assaults women who have been drinking probably has done it before in a setting usually called date-rape. The more times a complaint can be signed with proof from a hospital, the more possibility that the creep will be taken off the streets.

Now, for the cops... These are folks who are suppose to help people in danger to get clear... that is what they did. In case it has escaped your attention in the past, I'd like to point out that the police that get shot are more likely to get shot when they get themselves in the middle of a domestic dispute... and that includes date-rape situations. It would serve no cause to arrest the guy right then while he was drunk and he clearly knew the police were likely to come after him since he circled you a few times when he came close given your disheveled appearance and incoherence.

So you have given the police a statement, a complaint, and that is what you were supposed to do... to keep the next unsuspecting slightly tipsy young lady from harm's way.

I would follow up on the situation but keep in mind that many things could have happened that night and HE wasn't checked out by a hospital, so he might not be able to document any scrapes you might have given him... so you COULD be setting the stage for this guy to be STOPPED from doing damage to a large number of women in his future.... just by making that complaint of assault.

Good for you.
