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 (Courtney, Kevin, and Jodie). 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
30 minutes, 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 consisting of both men and women. They were throwing glass
bottles, crutches, bricks, and anything else they could find at us. As
we continued to fight through this crowd of assailants to get away, more
Caucasians came from out of nowhere and joined in brutally attacking us
delivering closed fist blows and kicks to our bodies and head. We began
the fight of our lives. This MOB of around 20 Caucasians beat us until
we were unable to move and left us laying in the park. My brother & I
sustained multiple injuries. I was stabbed eleven times, eight times in
the back & right shoulder, twice in the face & once in the head
(which the knife was left lodged by one of the perpetrators). My
brother was stabbed nine times, along his back, right side 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 two 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.
