Fattydown Attacked

From the Facebook group "Support FATTYDOWN"


Fattydown recently got attacked at the Jungle.....
Same thing happend to me in August... AND
Next to NO help from the staff at all!!!!!
Lets put and end to this!!!!!!!!

His words:
Hello everyone .first off Thank you too everyone who has sent words of encouragement and blessings or offers to aid at this time I feel overwhelmingly blessed to have such amazing people in my circle and in my life ..

For everyone who is asking what exactly happened here it is ,
I was attacked unknowing from behind with a bottle to the face then pushed to the ground and repeatedly kicked to the face and body until I was immobilized at the door ,I suffered some very bad gashes to my face and eyes I was then helped to my feet and sat down until an ambulance arrived .


I was rushed to the hospital where they were unable to assist me due to the nature and extent of the injurys .I was driven to Cambell river to meet with a plastic surgeon , who in turn then spent time reconstructing my cheek bone and eyelids as well as my nose forhead and cheek .

I have close to 200 stitches in my face and my body has multiple bruises and cuts including my head ,hands ,ribs, stomach ,back .left shoulder ,elbow and jaw .
I am doing better but in a severity of pain and swelling .
again I thank everyone for there concern and there assistance right now .

I don’t know who these people are or why the decided to hurt me ?
I had no confrontation with anyone or arguments with anyone on this night, this attack came from out of nowhere!

I know it’s a bad thing that has happened but I also feel that something good needs to come from this ,, I wont remain quiet or in fear , something has to be done to recktofiy this situations and the elements of uncertainty that souround it.
Changes need to made to assure that it never happeneds to any of our friends or family or anyone in that case ever again .

I was not assisted by any one at the establishment or protected in any way ..
These sort of things need to change immediately for everyones well being and safety .
If you are at a liscened establishment that hires people to keep order and protect us from these sorts of occurrences where were they ?
at no point even after the fact did someone from the Jungle Cabaret come to assist me or to find out who what why or how ?
this needs to change.

I also would like to start a petition to have all glasses and Bottes removed from our nightclubs there are other means of drinking “ie” Cans , Plastic cups ect .
we all know they become weapons in the wrong hands and adding alcohol into the factor only makes it the chances worse .

This is a re occurring problem I have had 3 close friends badly hurt at this establishment
I don’t believe that if we sit back and continue to pretend there isn’t a danger there ,that we will be safe .

I hope that everyone will stand with me to make these changes a reality in our community
and again I thank every one that has sent the regards and and there support .

If you know anything about this situation please contact me or the Nanaimo Police department .

Thank you to everyone.

Just found this out now... Although it is past... the significance of your situation is still very much present. Your acception of the circumstances and your courage to use it as a tool to school shows your character and respectability as a man and a self-less artist. May you recover quickly and with as little pain as possible to look twice as good in and out.

Word.

I just found out from this post, and i hope you have a quick recovery man. that is disgusting, Im probly not the first to say that you are at the bottem of the list of people who would incite this kind of violence, or deserve in the least bit. We live in a part of the world that actually has a potential to be a safe enviroment, why some people are stricken with the desire to lash out without warning is beyond me, but i will never understand the audacity of a nightclub staff member who cannot facilitate or assist in a situation like this is sickening. I support you 100% man, get better soon.
