Person Attacked at the Gathering of the Juggalos

I need some advice. 

I received an email from someone who went to the Gathering. I definitely remember them camping next to us, and one of them emailed me saying that he and his friend were attacked at the Gathering late Saturday night (after ICP).  I'm going to paste his emails in here, and you can see his picture of the aftermath below.

First email:

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 eight after leaving the hospital.

Second Email:

My friend and I were in the green tent with blue canopy adjacent to that trailer.  

We had no idea who they were. They were also chanting "get the fuck out of our gathering". Which is fucked because I've been to 4, and it's the only thing I looked forward to each year. Hard to explain that with fists flying at you though haha. 

We didn't file any report since I couldn't see a thing to be able to give a description, nor did I want to send in cops to rannsack other innocent juggalos. 

I never had a bad interaction with anyone at the GOTJ. So I wonder if some bad dudes happened to sneak in just to fuck with people? Did you hear of any other things like that happen to anyone this year? 

Third email:

Yea it had to be that we didn't look like stereotypical juggalos. Luckily my friend only got a swollen jaw, and my face is starting to look better.

  If I got a good look at them I would have filed a report, but it was so dark I couldn't make out any details of their description. Plus I live in Boston and wouldn't be able to fly around for court or stick around there any longer. I work as a teacher's aide at an alternative HS so staffing is tight and hard to take days off of work. 

  So I've just been searching the internet for any videos or posts about it. Haven't seen anything turn up yet. I know there was one small group of people who did see it. I called out for them to help but they just stood there. Not sure that I could blame them though, nobody is looking to be a hero at 4am. 

  Honestly I didn't even expect a reply from you, I know y'all must be super busy. So it means a lot to me that you did. Maybe a post asking for anonymous tips on who they may be? Either way, it's much appreciated that you got back to me.

So....what should I do? I already have a post typed up, but should I go live with it?  Do I post it knowing that the attackers will probably never be caught or identified, and that the article will most likely just make Juggalos as a whole look bad?  What do I tell the guy who emailed me?  Let me know.

I think you should write up an article putting this on blast and shaming it.

Put it on blast. That sucks, this bs reinforces the gang label we get. Beat up bc they don't look like juggalos should?

Put em on blast....and shame on the people who watched and did nothing. I would have interjected.

If u accurately post the received info u won't be normalizing violence, but demonstrating how it's not acceptable to most. Truth over tribalism.

Not posting about it would seem like a cover up.

I say put 'em on blast on the main site AND the facebook page.

 

Fuck those asshats.

Thank you all for the feedback.  I put the article up this morning.  I'd still like your opinions on if I missed out on any relevant information, though I've read it a few times and it seems pretty thorough given the information provided.

This sickens me so much. I've been to 3 gatherings, there are all different types of people who are juggalos. That's the thing about being a juggalo, you can be yourself and not be judged because we're all family.. or at least, that's how it's supposed to be.. I don't even know anymore man. I feel out of touch with my own fucking subculture. Day by day this world is dying.

Naw man the world isnt dying, its actually growing...the problem is those few bad apples get the attention...the ones who treat others like family dont get the props they deserve...i saw a youtube vid of this past gotj, where ninjas were filling coolers with water on the trippin trolleys, Much Props and Love to them mutha fackos

i wanna blow this up into some bigger shit.  i want things to happen.  

  

for one:  hey, violent j!  or whoever you got reportin on us to ya...  

how yall feel about that flimsy 'no fights at the gathering' assertion now?  

you hearin us, yet?  cuz fucked up as it is, this aint the half of it.

  

for another:  

message to the chumps that did it:  

hi, chumps.  

just who the fuck taught you how to do shit?  they fuckin failed miserably.  

if you got a shred of human worth, youll not only cop to this, youll do what you can to show contrition.  anything less is your declaration that you are lower than shit.  

you aint goin to jail, so might as well speak the fuck up.  you fucked up, its on you to do right.  thats how the fuck it works.  

if youre even capable of doin right.  fuckin ignorant yokels.  [and i dont care if yall live on west 57th.  yall still yokels.]  

me, i have doubts that anybody who would bushwhack two random juggalo gatherers is even capable of anything so real.  im expecting that youll just front, like the fake-fuck shitheels you been up til now.  

prove me wrong, dirtbags.  own up, like real men.  

  

i vote we campaign on this, hard, until some kinda result is clear.  

i also vote, even more forcefully, that we, or some of us, or somebody, tries to do sumn fresh for these two ninjas.  they should get a hookup.  they had all the right in the world to shop them punks to the cops, but didnt.  think about that shit.  thats heart.  

  

sorry for ranting.  what can i say.  im fuckin mad.

Wow. I'm floored by all the kind words and support. Y'all reminded me of why I fell in love with this subculture in the first place.  

Like I said before, all I want is to be able to have a conversation with who did this. 

I believe in redemption and reformation of character of this level and beyond. As fucked up as it was, I don't wish them to be cast aside from the fam. But that could only happen if they reach out to me and take accountability for their actions. It doesn't have to be on a public forum like this.  

I'm open to answering any questions from yall.

You're doing all this so you can have a conversation? Do you think that is a great use of everyone's time and resources? You want to have a chat? C'mon... What will a conversation accomplish? What are you hoping to discern from a dialogue?

@scottied I think the article is well spoken and doesn't come off with any bias. Glad you posted it.

And fuck these cowardly dickheads. "Our" gathering? How can you claim anything as your gathering if you're pulling that type of shit? Come on now. Shit's disheartening.

That's terrible that that happened to you!

Reminds me of the assholes last year that were throwing firecrackers into the crappers on people and then starting shit with them when they came out (the same assholes that were trying to start a mosh pit in front of our Main Stage setup)...

 

I'd ask questions but I've learned my lesson.

I hope you get to find out just what it is that seemed to set these assholes off. Whatever the case, there is just NO CALL for that kinda shit to be going on AT ALL unless someone just went out of their way to be an asshole to another fellow Gatherer!

That's a valid question. Honestly I didn't even expect a reply to my initial email to FLH. I almost didn't even send it because I didn't want to add to the negative press surrounding the gathering and culture itself. 

This is the only place I know of (FLH) to talk about what happened and have people listen. The people I've met and made connections with from going to the GOTJ are the best listeners I know.
