It might have been accidental. That would explain the odd nature of it. If not then the next step would be to assume the nature of it was odd and then to look for a reason that would only make sense to an illogical person. Maybe it was just the result of a person’s derangement or it was someone who believes in magic and cast a “Love Spell” and this was the last part of the ritual.

Why is everyone assuming it was purposeful? Couldn’t it have been accidental, and what evidence is there that it wasn’t?

Come on Jim…had she been an 80 year old man, or a hideous and warty woman would you feel better about it?

Who would do something like that to such a beautiful and sexy young lady?

Don’t forget to check for Lyme disease. The “prick” may have been a tick.

She had to find a sober friend, she stayed in the area it occurred, she waited a day to seek medical care, and yet the police are to blame for someone jabbing her with a needle? Has the fact that the police had 120+ calls for service, 9 medical calls, and that they arrested 23 persons show that they were busy? Why is it we are not pointing our fingers at the citizens that were present, specifically the “Jabber”, instead of the police? Is it possible that we attack the police when others misbehave and then blame the police for being heavy-handed when they contend with misbehavior because we do not wish to accept that acts have consequences. We are hopeless hypocrites for being present at an event that was essentially a destructive riot and assuming that a small towns police force could or even should protect us in an enormous and hostile crowd from aberrant and assaultive behavior. It is shameful that Ms. Hicks was stabbed by someone with a needle. It is, however, absolutely ridiculous to assume that the police are responsible for keeping us safe in a drunken crowd that was clearly bent on unlawful acts. Common sense would suggest that anyone with 1) a conscience,2) eyes and/or ears that are functioning, 3) a brain, 40 not wishing to be a social irresponsible person would never walked on to the Plaza in such circumstances. Next year why don’t we all stay home, give candy to kids that knock on our door, and give the city and its’ police a break?

Maybe send your photo to the CDC (center for disease control), perhaps someone might be able to identify what it was. Document your symptoms and have you asked for help from the Eureka Health Dept?
An epidemiologist might be able to help also.
This is just awful, I’m so sorry for your horrible experience. It changes everything in your life.
Shame on whoever did this.
I pray there will be some healthy closure for you and whoever did this, is caught and pays for this.

Very telling is that she “walked around looking for a police officer but couldn’t find one”. Part of the reason for the behavior and damage is that APD took a “hands off” approach this year and stayed away from the Plaza. Until it was too late. Bad decision Chief. Better change that for New Year’s Eve.
