PERPS WHO TALK INFORMATION - Log started Jul. 17, 2007 Rev: Jul 17/07 This log is to report instances where perpetrators actually make statements to their targets which acknowledge the fact that they have been detailed to harass the target. Such encounters are quite rare, but they are also quite significant in the struggle to inform the world about the crime syndrome of organized stalking. ------------------------------------------------------------ Added on Jul 17/07 (John Allman, England): What happened was that a young male stranger dealt me a few entirely unprovoked punches to my face, neck and torso, the first blow from behind, every blow witnessed by Xxxxx, the target who has been staying at my place lately, with whom I was taking a Sunday afternoon stroll when this occurred. My assailant apologised to me, after I'd called the police, and before running away to escape arrest, claiming that he had been misinformed to the effect that I was a paedophile, and threatening me with worse violence, if I pressed charges when the police eventually arrived. I found out the stranger's name from some teenagers standing by, who knew the assailant, and who witnessed the final stages of the series of attacks, and offered to testify if necessary. (The surprise attack and the subsequent detente was prolongued by my own deliberate psychological manipulation of the assailant, vainly hoping as I was to keep him provoked enough to linger until the police arrived, but not so provoked that he renewed his violence - a delicate balance.) Xxxxx was courageous. She judged correctly that this assailant wasn't likely to punch a pretty young woman in the face, and so took the small risk of placing herself between me and him, several times, reducing by 50% or more the number of times I was actually punched. I am also grateful to Xxxxx for kindly placing my prescription spectacles into her coat pocket soon after the violence began. When I asked my attacker who had set him up, by feeding to him the misinformation that I was a paedophile, he seemed to become very frightened when I asked this, and told me that he couldn't possibly tell me that. ------------------------------------------------------------
