While in downtown Calgary at lunchtime, I was walking down a street when a car with 5 or 6 aboriginal men drove by.  They were making lewd comments at the female pedestrians, and said "Hey Mr. Businessman.  Working hard to pay your taxes?"  I made brief eye contact and smiled when determining where the noise was coming from, then returned my eyes looking forward.  When profane insults followed, I just ignored them and kept walking.  Then three of them go out of the car and assaulted me.  After they left, a passer-by who had witnessed the assault asked if I was okay.

When I returned to the office, I was taken to the hospital.  The police were called and I gave a description of the assailants.  They took out some pictures, which I recognized right away as the assailants.  They were known to police.  I was never contacted again; there was no day in court; no justice.

I have moved on since being victimized, but have not forgotten.  It is the only way forward...remember, but move on.
