By one of the victim, Kristina Fox: “On the morning of Saturday, May 30, 2015, my little brother, Marcus Fox, my daughter’s father, Darrius Walton, and myself were sitting in Taylor Lauridsen Park conversing with 3 Caucasian people we had just met. Everyone was
having a nice time. Approximately 7-9 more Caucasian people arrived in the park.
My little brother being the social butterfly he is introduced himself and began chatting with the new arrivals. After about 30mins, one of the guys out of the group we initially met and another from the group that arrived later got into a verbal altercation with each other. My little brother tried to calm things down but this soon escalated as everyone began jumping on him.
It was at this point things turned for the worse as he and I fought this massive group of Caucasians, both men and women. They were throwing glass bottles, crutches, and bricks at us. As we continued to fight through this crowd of assailants to get away, more Caucasians came out of nowhere and joined in brutally attacking us delivering closed fist blows and kicks to our bodies and head. They beat us until we were unable to move and left us laying in the park.
My brother & I sustained multiple injuries. I was stabbed 11 times, 8 times in the back & right shoulder, twice in the face & once in the head and the knife was left lodged. My brother was stabbed 9 times with one of the wounds causing him to have a punctured lung.
NO ARRESTS have been made and the only publicity this received was an irresponsibly written 97 word article in the Chicago Sun-Times riddled with incorrect information. If the roles were reversed and had this been a mob of African Americans attacking 2 Caucasians this would have garnered immediate attention and been plastered EVERYWHERE.
We have contacted news stations & have not heard back from anyone. This further proves that America believes- BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER. Please HELP US GET JUSTICE for this hate crime! Please help us show that OUR BLACK LIVES MATTER! #BlackLivesMatter Please help us share our story….. even if it’s on Super Story produced by Wale Adenuga. He shld jst make it a cool story…..
