I received an email a few days ago and was not quite sure how to approach it. One of our Gathering neighbors hit me up over a truly shitty situation that I think deserves some attention.
This ninja named James, who has now been to 4 Juggalo Gatherings, was brutally attacked not long after ICP’s performance last Saturday night.
He describes the situation as follows:
Hey I was camped out behind you this year at the GOTJ. I got jumped by a few people a couple hours after ICP performed. This was unprovoked. It began once I entered a port a potty, before I could piss they began shaking it. I stepped out to see my friend get hit, then I started getting hit. Had to get 4 lacerations stitched on my face. This was my 4th gathering, and now most likely my last. I’ll try and send a pic of my face after leaving the hospital.
I have been speaking to James via email over the past few days to try to get more of the story. He told me that the people who assaulted them kept saying “get the fuck out of our gathering!” I guess they didn’t LOOK like Juggalos, so the assailants thought they deserved a beat down?
He also said that he didn’t file a police report because he didn’t get a good enough look at them for a description, and didn’t want to have police come in to interrogate Juggalos.
He DID say that there was a group of people standing by and watching as the attack took place, and hoped that they would come forward if they knew anything about it.
James mentioned that in 4 Gatherings, he has never had a single bad interaction with anyone. He asked if I had heard of anything similar happening this year, and of course I hadn’t.
So what I’m asking from you is this: If you heard anything about this incident, have seen video footage of it, or actually witnessed it, do the right thing and reach out. This isn’t snitching, this is Juggalos helping other Juggalos. These guys didn’t deserve this shit. Just leave a comment below, or reach out to me directly at [email protected]. Thanks ninjas! We hope you heal up quickly James!

He wants to file one though, right? If only he had some names.

No, definitely not looking to press any charges. That wouldn’t help anyone in this situation. My hospital bill was only $75 So I am not hurting to seek compensation for that. I’d love to be able to have a conversation with them about this. I hold no anger toward them for what happened. I don’t need to hear them say sorry. I just hope they use this situation to reevaluate their choices in life and try to become better people in some way. That’s all.

The only shitty question is one that doesn’t get asked.
I wasn’t wearing any MNE merch at any point though.

That is an awesome attitude MyKilla, and in fact one of the realist things I have heard when it comes to this situation, we need more Juggalos like you around to keep the balance of Yin and Yang. Whoop whoop ninja ! Don’t let this discourage where your heart belongs, #JUGGALOSFORLIFE

Even tho we did some fucked up shjr has kids! This is grown adults mis treating fellow juggalos!!! I’m becoming to look at juggalos different and ive been a fucking juggalo since 1995!! Yeah not since day one!! But I’m from Kansas and it took some time for us to hear icp down here!! Anywho!! All u shit talking gathering ruining prices of shit!! This is why I was so happy we didn’t get searched going into lost lake!!! I had my glock nine in my glove box and my smith .38 in my front pocket the entire time! And not for no other reason then protecting my kids mom! We aren’t even together anymore! But it was so I can protect her!!! It’s shame our world has come to this! But with growth and the young ones!

Yo that sucks! The same thing happened in 2012 in Cave-in-Rock to Jake, the dude who ran the Juggalo Express. He was walking around in tight jean cutoffs acting super gay(as a joke I think) and a couple ninjas rolled up on him and beat the shit out of him. ICP should invite this James dude and his homie back to the Gathering next year as all-access V.I.P.’s!!

How awful. What bothers me the most is that he said “Juggalos” were standing there watching. What happened to the Family!? I remember it used to be that if it looked like ninjas were going to get in a fight at the GOTJ, everyone literally just yelled “Family” at them until they hugged it out. I never thought I’d say it, but I’m GLAD I didn’t go this year. What a shame, but I still love ya’all. Speedy recovery, brother!

Solid point, I remember seeing the family chant break up a fight on YouTube.
In their defense, this was at 5am. Hours after ICP performed. I can imagine they were drained of energy and in a “deer in the headlights” state of mind as this scene passed them.

In their defense ? IN THEIR DEFENSE!? Fuck that! It’s not even like it was some personal quabble or revenge for attempted sexual assaults (which I’ve seen at one GOTJ). These assholes, these monsters should never have come to the Gathering because they were NOT Juggalos. I know this because of their actions, and no amount of knowledge of ICP or merch on their backs would ever change my mind.

P.S. I realize you were defending the onlookers and not the attackers, I got off on a bit of a tangent in the same sentence, but Fam are supposed to look out for one another. We settle our differences with Faygo showers and practical jokes, never assault.

“In their defense” was meant towards the people who saw it, not the ones who did it.
Maybe I’m too humble, but I don’t feel it’s right to hold anyone accountable to intervene.

He isn’t looking to go to the cops to press charges. He also understands the concept that other people can’t be expected to throw themselves into violent altercations they don’t even know the cause of. Yet those cowards waited till the last second to do their dirt because they fear repercussions, and they ambushed/jumped you. Stink_Wiskers you my friend are far more Juggalo then these bitch ass niggas no matter what you wear or how you dress!!

Maybe if Soopa Heroez never got cancelled we wouldn’t have this problem. (Throwback reference to 2005) BTW Stonehenge, I’m not “OG” I wasn’t down until 2003, first GOTJ in 04
