Excerpts from a Diary

This morning I woke up to this. Now don't misunderstand, I do know that Newark is a rough place to live and anything can happen. But never right in front of my house. This picture was taken from the living room window of my aparment. My front door is just beyond the black gate!

Now as much as this looks like a few bricks in a window and the definite work of a pissed off woman the rumors say different.

Word on the street is that right around 12-1am this morning a few guys rolled up in a car and one got out with a baseball bat and went to work on this car. After a few moments he was done and he returned to the car and left. The car belongs to a woman that lives in an apartment building across the street. I am still in awe at the whole thing. What did she do to deserve that from a guy. When I saw her (a little after I took my pics) she seemed pretty calm about it.

It must have been ridiculous!

What man would go through so much trouble. He had to call up his boys around 11:30pm and say "Pick me up guys", get dressed and get out the ole bat, I don't know any man that would have a bat that handy but let's pretend he had it under his bed. He gets all ready and with three of his closest buddies he rides over to my section of town. What I don't understand is what friends are those that would risk getting picked up by the police just cause their friend had beef.

I would expect that a man would just cuss her out and call her a bitch and that would be it. But to come out of our way to shatter the windows of her car, that is too girly for me. Excuse me mister thug sir, but you could have done better really.

All four windows, including windshield and back window are out.

There was no damage to the body of the car. No tires were slashed, just the windows. She finally put bags over the windows after the police left and I don't know what the report was, I assume she knows who did it to her car. I hope they find out soon I would hate to find out later is was someone from the chicken shack down the street that did not like the way she ordered her three piece meal.
