Really sorry to hear this. Glad to hear he's in stable condition. Miles (Gandolph Gandolphini) is always the happiest guy in the room whenever I see him, so it's really unfortunate that this happened to him. :(

Heard earlier and glad to hear he's OK. Not much you can do to prevent senseless attacks like that. Once he's out I'm buying him a drink.

That's crazy! Miles is the last person I'd expect to be involved in any sort of violence!
Is anyone planning any concerted effort to do something nice for him while he's recovering?
Also, anyone know what hospital he's in? (Don't post it publicly --apparently there are some real crazies out there...!)

I reported it, or rather posted it on Donewaiting.com, you can see my post here:
http://donewaiting.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30658
I was going to report it here at the same time, but my internet connection fizzled out.
To save trouble and fill in gaps, here is my post and what I've learned since.
Miles Curtiss, aka Marvin the Robot, is one of the best human beings I know. He is extremely intelligent, kind, caring, and all around just a wonderful guy. We grew up together, he is like a member of my family.
Miles Curtiss, Better Human Being Than Most, not "Human Irritant."
Some piece of shit stabbed Miles in the chest last night.
Miles is recovering at XXX Hospital. If you are his friend, please visit him. Or at least send some good wishes his way, because he is an amazing person and didn't deserve this to happen to him.
I spent a few hours with Miles tonight. He is in good spirits and we had a good time making up 70's funk porno songs (one of our favorite things to do together, we have an albums worth!).
What happened was this:
Miles is friends with the girl. He had, at one point, dated this girl for a few weeks, but now they are just friends.
Miles and girl are hanging out at Bourbon St.
Miles leaves Bourbon St., whereupon he is attacked by said girls super dweeby indie emo ex boyfriend, who has a real jealousy problem.
The dweeby indie emo piece of shit, whose name is XXXXXXXXX, punches Miles in the face and then stabs him twice, in front of a ton of people, then runs of into the night.
A warrant has been issued for XXXXXX's arrest.
This is all direct from Miles, and the police report is online.
I am happy to say that in spite of this incident, Miles is in really good spirits. He is going to recover. Luckily, the stabbing didn't hit any major organs or arteries.
XXXXXX hasn't been found, but I am sure he will be. I rode the bus with him many times, and always figured him for a harmless emo dweebb, but he is a piece of shit human being who tried to kill my best friend, and he needs to be turned over the police so he can pay. And by pay I mean get sent to jail to become Mr. Big's Bum Boy.
Walker, if you feel the need to remove the attackers name from my post, go ahead.

This sucks pretty hard. I was hanging out with Miles just last week and had a lot of fun. I can't imagine anyone wanting to fuck with him for any reason.
As for posting the attacker's name, XXXXX's name is part of the public record now (on police reports, etc.). The fact that he's wanted for a violent crime and hasn't turned himself in, tells me that his name should be out there.

Just for giggles I googled the accused assailants name.
Seems he had a twitter account, website etc.
All have been deleted.
Saw that. Myspace, YouTube and FLikr are still up. Didn't check FB.

ZAS, I removed the suspect's name for the same reason Duffy did on DW. Would rather let this take the appropriate channels through the police rather than fuel any sort of internet justice squad.
Thanks for understanding.
No "internet justice squad" here. I just want to know if there is a violent criminal riding the same bus as I am. I'll gladly call the police and let them deal with him.

Exactly. I think those of us that want this waste of human DNA brought to justice would like to see more pics of him available so if he is seen, we can alert the proper authorities.
Although it'd be nice to smack him in the skull with a shovel first. Luckily I don't own any shovels.

Funny enough, even though the assailant isn't named on DW, There's a plain link there to a blog where the guy is named. Not sure what is gained by pulling his name off of DW or here.
Really as pissed off as I am about this, the only thing I want to see happen is that he get arrested and go to trial. If it went down they way I've heard, I doubt there will be a problem with the conviction.
If I'm reading the laws correctly, this guy is up for a Second Degree Felony (Felonious Assault) which should net him anywhere from 2-8 years and up to $20k in fines. Sounds good to me.

That's exactly how I feel Michael, and I've seen his name on reports on other websites, but how am I going to know if he's walking down the street beside me...
Hopefully you grabbed a couple myspace pics or something before that disappears too.

It's all locked down, but I snagged a photo. Will post on twitter with CPD tip line later.
