Thanks to those of you who posted kind words. I'm glad to have people who still know I'm not the sort of person who randomly beats up women for no reason, despite the fact that apparently I will soon be that person in the eyes of the law and the nation at large.
I managed to get my stuff back today, somehow, though it wasn't easy. I also confirmed my address. Now I just have to deal with the two big things: finding a lawyer, and paying for one.
Don't know how I'm going to manage those. My mother used to be a legal secretary, so she's looking in to things for me. It's really heartbreaking, though. I don't know how I can do it. I just don't.
I *hurt*. I hurt like hell. From the handcuffs, to the leg restraints, to walking all over DC, I really hurt, and I feel sick. I'm only at work today because I had to come to DC anyway to deal with all this. Emotionally, I am a thick candy shell of calm and acceptance over a chewy caramel center of bleak despair and nigh-madness.
I wonder if some of you are still expecting this to be an April Fool's joke. Don't I wish.

Sending out "drop the charges" vibes. (I'm leaving out the "you horrible bitch" part, I think the universe doesn't like it.)

Late in reply, cause I don't generally read LJ at night, but hope it works out somehow.

Remember that there are still three people who have convinced themselves that I shoved her (and I have studied groupthink; they will believe they saw something they didn't), and lied by omission by refusing to relate her assault on me. Against that sort of "evidence" proving myself innocent or establishing reasonable doubt will be very difficult.

Because that's the logical thing to do! "Hay thar, Mister Po-leece officer. I was just here in the middle of a busy place and people smashing the snot out of this poor innocent girl and thought, 'HAY! I SHOULD TOTALLY CALL THE COPS ON MYSELF.'
No one is mentioning the fact that you're the one who called the cops. Why would you do that if you were guilty? To me, logical thought = guilty part would not incriminate themselves.
But, I have a bad habit of expecting everyone else to follow simple logic and common sense. Probably my bad.
The best part is knowing that after years of women fighting for women to be treated and considered equal in the world, this woman goes ahead and hides behind the assumed "women are the weaker sex, and thus, unable to be violent or mean," to get away with being an abusive fuck face. Good job lady, who ever you are.
