I got assaulted on Friday evening
I was packing and going in & out of the building to dump trash & junk
I opened my apt door & a big guy (5'10-5'11, 220-240lbs, large build) pulled me out by grabbing my shirt front. I saw a punch coming and was able to move my head just in time - so I got a glancing blow to the right side of my face (which gave me a red welt instead of a broken nose)
I punched him twice - the first one, left fist to his lip (effective) and a right fist to his stomach (missed, hit a rib/lower chest, ineffective)
He grappled me and wrestled me to the ground - his body weight on mine (I weigh 145lbs or so), which dislocated my right shoulder.
He got up, went (I want to say ran) for the building exit (10' away) - saying "Don't ever call the cops on no one again or I'll kill you"
I called 911 right away. They came along with an ambulance. Most of the cops were very helpful. I gave them as accurate a report as possible. The senior officer there (I notice he had a single stripe) said "I just don't see why someone tou don't know would do this - are you sure all this happened?" I guess he hadn't been listening closely to what I had to say before (mentioned all previous incidents with landlord including the verbal threats to my gf)
Notes:
Gf was already on Atlanta flight
Dogs were with my neighbor - pity, they would've helped

Ambulance took me to the ER @ New York Methodist. Admitted at approx. 9pm. Long story short - the docs were able to put my shoulder back in at about 1:30am. Discharged at 4:45am.
Went home - my key would not open the apt. door. Something had been stuck inside the keyhole. Friend who was with me managed to climb in thru a window.
Spent the night in my apt with my friend - since then I have been forced to spend the night at my neighbor's, friends', cousins' homes - not that I'm scared, but it's hard to say no when friends & relatives start crying & telling you how worried they are.
I've moved out most of my stuff from the apt. into storage since the front door won't lock anymore.
This weekend I plan to go to Atlanta to drop off the dogs at my gf's mother's place - going to be quite a trip with a dislocated shoulder.

So ... more thoughts in a while, I'm at work - my boss is awesome - shoulder's driving me insane (trying to stay off pain killers)
EDIT: I not "living" in my apt anymore - staying with family & friends, even tho I really want to be back in my own place. I'd like to think that I can defend my own turf, but that's going to be hard with a dislocated right shoulder.
