Help Bryan!




These are the two animals who savagely beat and almost killed Santa Cruz Paramedic Bryan Stow on Opening Day at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. All because Bryan was a Giants fan. As a trans woman who has lived in LA for a year and a half now. Most Angelino's have really shown a lot of class and shame in light of this tragedy. I realize in a city this huge, or any big city for that matter, there will be thugs, low lifes, and the general unenlightened, so I always am on guard. Violence against anyone is abhorrent, but for this poor man and his family to have their whole world turned upside down over a baseball game?? That is just one of the saddest things I've ever heard. Another sad thing is that these two animals are still running loose out here, somewhere.

If there is a God in heaven, they will be brought to justice.

Here is the story from the LA Times from yesterday...

The brutal beating of Bryan Stow in Dodger Stadium is being investigated by 16 detectives and officers working around the clock to examine a growing pile of information from witnesses and others, the lead investigator said Tuesday.

Det. P.J. Morris said that with the large reward and growing publicity surrounding the opening day beating that left the San Francisco Giants fan with brain damage and in a medically induced coma, investigators are now having to filter through dozens of tips.

“Detectives are working shift after shift," Morris said. "When one team goes off another one comes on.”

Morris said Tuesday that the identity of the two assailants who kicked and punched the father of two remained a mystery.

The suspects have been described by police only as Latinos from 18 to 25 years who had tattoos visible underneath their apparel. The LAPD is working to get more details on the suspects' appearance and Capt. Bill Murphy said the department may update the descriptions.

The pair may have been with a young boy. Morris said investigators did not know what type of vehicle they drove away in.

Although many people were milling around in the parking lot after the game, no one seems to know where the assailants fled.

Stow remained in critical but stable condition Tuesday. More than $60,000 was raised Monday during a fund-raising drive in the Dodger Stadium parking lot to help the family with medical bills.

Anyone with information can reach detectives at (213) 847-4261.
