It was not sent by any City official <br />or staff. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Hello Riverside City Clerk, <br />My name is Benjamin, I was attacked while attending a University in Northern California. I was stalked for a year and <br />then attacked. The first injuries with this were in October 2020. Something from research was used for this and I am <br />trying to track this down. I have submitted reports to the Berkeley Police Department, UCPD at Berkeley, the San <br />Francisco Police Department, City of Oakland Police Department, and I finally have an Incident Report Number from the <br />San Diego Police Department. I have spoken at City Council meetings in both Berkeley and San Diego. I was attacked by a <br />group of people after being followed for a year. There was no notification, no conversation, just stalking, intrusion, and <br />then attack. It was very very vicious. I was followed during a move where I had first tried to get away from some of this. <br />This was in the middle of September 2020. 1 was followed during the move and it is my understanding that someone had <br />then broken into my new apartment. Injuries began to happen there once I was isolated and by myself. I know for <br />certain that a number of other students were involved with this, as well as a number of adults within the area. This was <br />not any form of normal or acceptable thing. They tried to plan a murder and then make it look good for them in public. <br />This was their actual strategy. From this I have very bad wounds, enduring this for multiple years, instead of my normal, <br />peaceful, very un -abrasive University enrollment, where I was setting myself up for very un -abrasive things in life. This <br />was as part of my life plan and my life goals. It is my right to not be injured in any manner, and more specifically to not <br />endure the list of things involved in this. It is my right to have this held accountable, and to expect this to be something <br />which must be held accountable. I do need this as a person even more than the obligation for this by the law. This is a <br />need for me. I need this to be respected on a deeper, human level. For the endurance of something like this, alongside <br />the associated suffering, and loss, real wounds, and real injury, there is a very great amount of damage to my life, it is <br />my right to have arrests, and there is an active expectation for compensation. There are regions of my brain which are <br />no longer fully there. This is from intentional damage. For this I have cited the need for the prosecution of Torture as a <br />crime. This is alongside the need for prosecution for both the conspiracy, premeditated as a group, attempt at murder / <br />manslaughter, and the attempt at murder / manslaughter itself, with injuries that could have lead to death, if my ability <br />to be resilient was not as it was at certain moments. I think that the intent was for me to die. This must be taken very <br />seriously and this cannot be something that loses seriousness within the country. Neither of these terms are something <br />that can lose seriousness within the country. It is my right to have arrests for this and there is an expectation for <br />compensation. I have injuries instead of diploma. This is my pathway for career. Life is built upon this. There is policy if <br />there is a concern, no-one gets to plan a murder. This is a simple and clean expectation for personal justice. I am asking <br />to have this brought up to the local City Council. I need to have arrests for what I have endured. My life will never be the <br />same; I will never be the same, and I will wake up every morning knowing this. For this I need to have a full sense of <br />justice. Anyone associated with employment at a University cannot be associated with physical violence towards a <br />student at the University. This should also be seen as a very clean and simple thing. This is the same for any students <br />involved, and then any person in general is in general subject to the law. There is very heavy law associated with this. An <br />angry prosecutor could push for life sentences. This is stated within the charges involved. I need to have this taken very <br />seriously. If this is available as a charge, then this must be taken very seriously, and there is an obligation to have this <br />addressed. I as a person and the victim do need to have this addressed. Further than the Country, the state of California <br />has very strong rights for individuals. This is a moment where those rights must be upheld. I need to have arrests, and I <br />
