 And as soon as I knew
what it was that was--

00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:07.440 align:middle line:84%
he was pouring all
over me, it was--

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:09.668 align:middle line:90%
I can't even--

00:00:09.668 --> 00:00:10.710 align:middle line:90%
I don't know what to say.

00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:12.870 align:middle line:90%
I mean, it was disgusting.

00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:15.267 align:middle line:84%
And it was-- it
was an assault. But

00:00:15.267 --> 00:00:19.150 align:middle line:90%
it was an assault that was--

00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:21.150 align:middle line:90%
sorry.

00:00:21.150 --> 00:00:22.790 align:middle line:84%
It was just really--
it was horrible.

00:00:55.670 --> 00:01:00.170 align:middle line:84%
I was at dinner at my
favorite Thai restaurant

00:01:00.170 --> 00:01:02.260 align:middle line:90%
on Hollywood and Bronson.

00:01:02.260 --> 00:01:05.620 align:middle line:84%
And I came walking
out to my car,

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:09.470 align:middle line:84%
which was only like 10 steps
away from the actual place.

00:01:09.470 --> 00:01:12.680 align:middle line:84%
And I went to open
up my car door.

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.630 align:middle line:84%
And all of a sudden, I
hear this, like, this--

00:01:16.630 --> 00:01:18.130 align:middle line:90%
this swishing sound.

00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:19.030 align:middle line:90%
And I looked up.

00:01:19.030 --> 00:01:20.230 align:middle line:90%
And the guy was right there.

00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:22.050 align:middle line:90%
And he was about 6 foot 2.

00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:24.280 align:middle line:90%
He was really-- he was big.

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.410 align:middle line:90%
And he looked at me.

00:01:26.410 --> 00:01:29.000 align:middle line:84%
And I had no time
to do anything.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.530 align:middle line:90%
He pushed me in my car twice.

00:01:32.530 --> 00:01:35.350 align:middle line:84%
And then he pulled
me out by my shirt,

00:01:35.350 --> 00:01:38.620 align:middle line:84%
pulled me out into the
street and poured a huge,

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:44.230 align:middle line:84%
like a like a Folgers can
of his feces all over me.

00:01:44.230 --> 00:01:47.560 align:middle line:84%
And when he did it, I thought
it was hot, and it burns.

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:49.070 align:middle line:90%
I thought it was like an--

00:01:49.070 --> 00:01:50.930 align:middle line:90%
like, I didn't know what it was.

00:01:50.930 --> 00:01:52.510 align:middle line:90%
And then the smell.

00:01:52.510 --> 00:01:56.350 align:middle line:84%
And then it was running down
my eyelashes into my eyes.

00:01:56.350 --> 00:01:57.610 align:middle line:90%
And he ran away.

00:01:57.610 --> 00:02:00.520 align:middle line:84%
He poured it all over
me all in my car.

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:02.200 align:middle line:90%
And he ran away.

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:03.360 align:middle line:90%
And I was--

00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:04.260 align:middle line:90%
I couldn't see.

00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:06.190 align:middle line:84%
So I was stuck in the
middle of the road

00:02:06.190 --> 00:02:08.169 align:middle line:90%
on Hollywood Boulevard.

00:02:08.169 --> 00:02:10.300 align:middle line:90%
And nobody would stop.

00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.160 align:middle line:90%
It was crazy.

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:17.710 align:middle line:84%
This couple stopped
and helped me.

00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:19.210 align:middle line:90%
They were from out of town.

00:02:19.210 --> 00:02:23.530 align:middle line:84%
And they walked me to
the corner of the curb.

00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:25.480 align:middle line:90%
And the police came.

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:30.360 align:middle line:84%
And they got the feces out of
my eyes so I could sort of see.

00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.260 align:middle line:84%
And the guy was
across the street.

00:02:32.260 --> 00:02:34.540 align:middle line:90%
And he had no shoes on.

00:02:34.540 --> 00:02:36.040 align:middle line:90%
And he was staring at me.

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:37.970 align:middle line:90%
And I said that that was him.

00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:42.650 align:middle line:84%
And the cops went over
there and detained him.

00:02:42.650 --> 00:02:45.440 align:middle line:90%
Meanwhile, the firemen come.

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:48.250 align:middle line:84%
They have to peel off all
of my items of clothing

00:02:48.250 --> 00:02:51.580 align:middle line:90%
because I'm soaked in his feces.

00:02:51.580 --> 00:02:52.810 align:middle line:90%
They throw it in a bag.

00:02:52.810 --> 00:02:53.800 align:middle line:90%
They wrap me up.

00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.660 align:middle line:84%
And then they set up a sort
of like a half moon thing

00:02:58.660 --> 00:03:00.940 align:middle line:90%
around their truck.

00:03:00.940 --> 00:03:05.490 align:middle line:84%
And they hose me down
on Hollywood Boulevard.

00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:09.130 align:middle line:84%
And I've made a joke that I
was Meryl Streep in "Silkwood"

00:03:09.130 --> 00:03:10.570 align:middle line:90%
as I'm, like, crying.

00:03:10.570 --> 00:03:12.900 align:middle line:90%
And it was-- it was awful.

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:16.100 align:middle line:84%
Then they took me
into the ambulance.

00:03:16.100 --> 00:03:18.970 align:middle line:90%
I had to identify the man first.

00:03:18.970 --> 00:03:22.910 align:middle line:84%
And they arrested him
on battery charges.

00:03:22.910 --> 00:03:29.005 align:middle line:84%
And, yeah, I got tested at
the emergency room for all,

00:03:29.005 --> 00:03:37.520 align:middle line:84%
like, the infectious like, hep
V, hep A. And yeah, that's--

00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:39.100 align:middle line:90%
it was awful.

00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:41.190 align:middle line:90%
He was arrested.

00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:43.410 align:middle line:84%
And I just found
out a few weeks ago

00:03:43.410 --> 00:03:49.890 align:middle line:84%
that he was let out, because
he wasn't fit to stand trial.

00:03:49.890 --> 00:03:53.730 align:middle line:84%
So they let him go, asked
him where he wanted to go.

00:03:53.730 --> 00:03:55.470 align:middle line:90%
They dropped him off.

00:03:55.470 --> 00:03:57.900 align:middle line:84%
And now he's in
around the same spot.

00:03:57.900 --> 00:03:59.490 align:middle line:90%
So he's schizophrenic.

00:03:59.490 --> 00:04:05.590 align:middle line:84%
And he's just not mentally
stable, obviously.

00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:08.971 align:middle line:90%
[MUSIC PLAYING]

00:04:08.971 --> 00:04:14.300 align:middle line:90%


00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:20.269 align:middle line:84%
My first reaction was is that
I thought I was going to die,

00:04:20.269 --> 00:04:22.010 align:middle line:90%
because he didn't say anything.

00:04:22.010 --> 00:04:24.550 align:middle line:84%
So the look in his
eyes was, I thought

00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:25.550 align:middle line:90%
he was going to murder--

00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:26.730 align:middle line:90%
I thought he had a knife.

00:04:26.730 --> 00:04:29.090 align:middle line:90%
I didn't know.

00:04:29.090 --> 00:04:31.190 align:middle line:90%
That was my first reaction.

00:04:31.190 --> 00:04:33.800 align:middle line:84%
I always thought I
was a tough person.

00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.190 align:middle line:84%
I've lived in Hollywood
for a very long time.

00:04:37.190 --> 00:04:43.820 align:middle line:84%
And I thought I would, you
know, I'd be tough and scream.

00:04:43.820 --> 00:04:45.230 align:middle line:90%
And I couldn't do anything.

00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:50.060 align:middle line:84%
So-- and as soon as I knew
what it was-- it was he

00:04:50.060 --> 00:04:53.810 align:middle line:90%
was pouring over me, it was--

00:04:53.810 --> 00:04:56.068 align:middle line:90%
I can't even--

00:04:56.068 --> 00:04:57.110 align:middle line:90%
I don't know what to say.

00:04:57.110 --> 00:04:59.270 align:middle line:90%
I mean, it was disgusting.

00:04:59.270 --> 00:05:01.530 align:middle line:90%
And it was-- it was an assault.

00:05:01.530 --> 00:05:05.320 align:middle line:90%
But it was an assault that was--

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:07.338 align:middle line:90%
sorry.

00:05:07.338 --> 00:05:08.880 align:middle line:84%
It was just really--
it was horrible.

00:05:11.910 --> 00:05:13.020 align:middle line:90%
And I didn't--

00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:15.210 align:middle line:90%
I mean, there was no--

00:05:15.210 --> 00:05:17.520 align:middle line:90%
nobody there to help me.

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.350 align:middle line:90%
And I'm screaming, I remember.

00:05:19.350 --> 00:05:21.700 align:middle line:90%
It's Hollywood Boulevard.

00:05:21.700 --> 00:05:24.780 align:middle line:90%
Like, I was--

00:05:24.780 --> 00:05:27.450 align:middle line:90%
I think I was just shocked.

00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:30.180 align:middle line:84%
And it was disgusting
on top of everything.

For sure.

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.250 align:middle line:90%
And I thought that--

00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:43.470 align:middle line:84%
I thought I would
be done with it.

00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:46.050 align:middle line:84%
Like, PTSD to me, I
was like, oh, I'm fine.

00:05:46.050 --> 00:05:46.950 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to be good.

00:05:46.950 --> 00:05:47.950 align:middle line:90%
I have a sense of humor.

00:05:47.950 --> 00:05:49.140 align:middle line:90%
Thank god.

00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:52.635 align:middle line:84%
But it's affected
me in so many ways--

00:05:52.635 --> 00:05:55.500 align:middle line:90%


00:05:55.500 --> 00:06:00.090 align:middle line:90%
just mentally, emotionally.

00:06:00.090 --> 00:06:05.880 align:middle line:84%
After that happened, I did
research on the homeless in LA.

00:06:05.880 --> 00:06:08.590 align:middle line:84%
I've actually gone
to a couple shelters.

00:06:08.590 --> 00:06:12.150 align:middle line:84%
And it's the-- I
don't understand it.

00:06:12.150 --> 00:06:16.200 align:middle line:84%
It's where the very
wealthy stayed.

00:06:16.200 --> 00:06:20.770 align:middle line:84%
And I just don't understand
where all the money--

00:06:20.770 --> 00:06:22.920 align:middle line:84%
I don't understand where
the millions of dollars

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:28.900 align:middle line:84%
that are going into the
city where it's going.

00:06:28.900 --> 00:06:31.290 align:middle line:90%
This is Hollywood.

00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:32.190 align:middle line:90%
There's tourists.

00:06:32.190 --> 00:06:35.040 align:middle line:90%
There's-- it's just--

00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:35.940 align:middle line:90%
I don't know.

00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:38.820 align:middle line:90%
And as a victim, I don't have--

00:06:38.820 --> 00:06:41.040 align:middle line:90%
I don't have insurance.

00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.660 align:middle line:84%
But, you know, Mr.
Newsom has the bill

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:49.440 align:middle line:84%
for illegal immigrants,
which is great.

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:50.340 align:middle line:90%
It's fine.

00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:52.080 align:middle line:90%
But I don't have--

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:55.590 align:middle line:84%
what about the victims
of these attacks?

That's where I'm at.

00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:57.640 align:middle line:90%

00:06:57.640 --> 00:06:58.540 align:middle line:90%
I need help.

00:06:58.540 --> 00:07:04.290 align:middle line:90%
I need medical care.

00:07:04.290 --> 00:07:05.240 align:middle line:90%
And I don't have it.

Not at all.

00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:21.740 align:middle line:84%
In fact, one of the
first responders--

00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:23.630 align:middle line:84%
I don't want to say,
like, who it was.

00:07:23.630 --> 00:07:27.460 align:middle line:84%
But they had told me, pretend
like I'm not who I am.

00:07:27.460 --> 00:07:30.015 align:middle line:84%
And Los Angeles loves
homeless people.

00:07:30.015 --> 00:07:33.860 align:middle line:84%
I know I didn't understand
what he meant-- what he meant.

00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:37.220 align:middle line:84%
And he said because
they're getting so--

00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:43.670 align:middle line:84%
they're getting paid a lot of
money for the homeless people.

00:07:43.670 --> 00:07:45.170 align:middle line:90%
And I still didn't understand.

00:07:45.170 --> 00:07:46.430 align:middle line:90%
And then I did more research.

00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:47.330 align:middle line:90%
And it's true.

00:07:47.330 --> 00:07:49.020 align:middle line:84%
They're getting
millions of dollars.

00:07:49.020 --> 00:07:50.360 align:middle line:90%
And there's nothing being done.

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.260 align:middle line:90%
There's tents.

00:07:51.260 --> 00:07:54.770 align:middle line:84%
I always thought the tents were
the homeless people's tents.

00:07:54.770 --> 00:07:55.670 align:middle line:90%
But they're not.

00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:57.440 align:middle line:90%
They're actually given to them.

00:07:57.440 --> 00:08:00.370 align:middle line:90%


00:08:00.370 --> 00:08:01.580 align:middle line:90%
I think it's got--

00:08:01.580 --> 00:08:04.360 align:middle line:90%
it's getting worse.

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.540 align:middle line:84%
And I think that I think the
numbers I think have doubled

00:08:07.540 --> 00:08:11.580 align:middle line:90%
this year for homeless people.

00:08:11.580 --> 00:08:16.760 align:middle line:84%
And I think there's more
than half are mentally ill.

00:08:16.760 --> 00:08:20.050 align:middle line:84%
