San Francisco (Crohn) – A professor at Berkeley, a Berkeley professor who celebrates the Dyck career in San Francisco, says he was beaten and concussed. He is now talking about this.
Thousands of people mobilized at Mission Dolores Park on Saturday 28 June for the Dyke March.
For Damon Young, the day of celebration began with pride, but he ended with violence because he says he was targeted just because he was part of society.
Young says before 6:30 pm, he went to take his dog home after the garden celebrations when a group of people faced him.
“Before I knew that, I was on the ground, and I was sticking to the dog’s wheel and the hot dog that was flying,” says Young. “I fell on the blanket of the man’s picnic and the man pierced me in my face again and again.”
He says he is disappointed, no one is about to help or call 911.
“I understand why people were unable to intervene to stop violence, but in the aftermath, I know that no one comes to help me and did not know what to do,” says Young.
Young says the cell signal did not allow him to contact his friend for help. So in a state of amazement, while his face began to swell, he says that he has set the location of two firefighters who respond to a related call near the event.
“They were basically refusing and telling me to find a police officer in the park,” Young recalls. “At one time, one of them said,” Well, we can call you an ambulance if you love “and I was worried about the dog. That’s all I can think of. I said,” I don’t want an ambulance; I just need some help.
Young says when he finally arrived at home, his friend brought him to the emergency room where he learned that he got a concussion.
While he recovered physically, he is now focusing on the city’s invitation to make all the events of pride safer.
“I don’t think this should happen in San Francisco,” says Young. “I don’t think the attack that appears to be homosexual, apparently, should happen in pride. These people there to protect society have failed to do their work. He feels like something that needs to be addressed.”
Young complained to the San Francisco Fire Department. A SFFD Kron4 spokesman tells that they are looking for what happened.
San Francisco Police Administration says they are investigating if this attack is enthusiastic about hate.
Dyke’s career is not an official SF Pride event. The organizers told Kron4 that they rented their medical emergency services staff (EMS) to care for people, but they were not aware of the Young attack and sorry to hear it.
