Need some help
« on: February 11, 2024, 02:38:29 PM »
Bunky, the girl that does the artwork for our clocks got assaulted and robbed on Friday night. She was walking through the park in Seattle on her way to the light rail to go home. She's an incredible tattoo artist as well as traditional art. She is a fellow biker and rides a Harley Fatboy Low. She comes up to the shop and helps out with the bikes and stuff as well as the clock project. All her family is in Alaska, her Mom has started a GoFundMe page to help her pay rent and bills because she can't see well enough to do tattooing with one eye swollen shut.

I would really appreciate if you guys could give her a hand.
Thanks

That sucks mate, I just donated. I hope she heals fast. I also hope whoever did that to her gets what’s coming.
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.

She was jumped by two black guys and a giant black chick. They hit her in the head with a rock, stole her $60, gave her #$%* for being a poor white #$%*, threw her wallet back in her face and hit her in the face with the rock again. The next thing she remembers is waking up in the hospital.
The city of Seattle will do nothing about it, it happens all the time there. I grew up in Seattle and it was a great place. It was very safe. As early teens we could take the bus downtown to a movie at night and it was totally safe.
Now if you go out alone you're risking your life but the mayor and city council keep saying that it's safe. In 2 years there will be a bunch of World Cup soccer games in the city. We'll see how safe it is then.  ::)

Here's some of her work, she's an incredible tattoo artist as well.

That is horrible.
I'm sad to see this happen to anyone.
I've pitched in a little to help her get through.
I hope she heals quickly and that there is no permanent damage.

I'm also a Seattle native. Growing up in the Greenlake neighborhood was the best any kid could have wished for.
Seattle is not the same place it used to be.
Seattle really started going downhill in the 80's when Californians started to migrate north and brought their politics with them.
It's been a gradule decline ever since.

And you are correct. The police will do nothing.

Thank You

I grew up near 57th and Greenwood. It was a great place to grow up.

I was looking at the GoFund me to see if there was an update on Bunky.
She now has complications from a flesh eating bacteria.
I hope she has a speedy recovery

She went in yesterday for a second round of surgery trying to remove the flesh eating bacteria.

Bunky went in for the third surgery today trying to remove the flesh eating bacteria. The surgeries are very near the nerves controlling eye movement.
I found out that the Seattle Police showed up two days after the incident just to tell her that there's nothing they can do. >:(

I'm hoping she keeps her hopes up;I'm praying the doctor is careful.
The police you mentioned:what jerks.
