Juggalo sues icp and GOTJ -

(CN) – A fan of the Insane Clown Posse sued the hip-hop group and the organizers of a southern Illinois music festival in Federal Court for personal injury.
James Ford, a Delaware resident, says he was among dozens of fans invited onto stage during the Aug. 15, 2010, concert, dubbed as the “Gathering of the Juggalos” at Cave in Rock, Ill. Ford claims he suffered severe and permanent leg injuries after he fell into a modified trampoline on stage.
Ford seeks damages for his injuries in the Southern District of Illinois. He is represented by Jeffrey Deutschman of Deutschman & Associates in Chicago.
Psychopathic Records, Insane Clown Posse, Juggalo Gathering, Faygo Beverages and Hogrock Inc. are named as defendants. Faygo allegedly sponsored the event that brought Ford to stage.

ENTON — A fan of the Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit in federal court last week alleging he was injured at the 2010 Gathering of the Juggalos in rural Hardin County.

James Ford Jr. of Delaware claims he suffered permanent injuries during a gathering promotion called “Faygo Armageddon,” ac-cording to the suit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Benton.

Ford was among 60 to 75 audience members allowed on the stage during the Armageddon promotion to “assist the lead singer of Insane Clown Posse in shooting Faygo beverages into the crowd,” the lawsuit alleges.

While onstage, Ford fell back against sheet metal used on a modified trampoline, causing “his leg to sustain serious and perma-nent injury,” according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges negligence by the defendants: promoters Psychopathic Records Inc., Juggalo Gathering LLC, Insane Clown Posse LLC, Hogrock Inc., the Hardin County venue where the event is hosted, and Faygo Beverages Inc., which supplied Faygo beverages to the defendants and for use in Faygo Armageddon.

Ford is seeking in excess of $75,000 plus costs associated with the suit.

Attempts to reach defendants for comment on the lawsuit were unsuccessful.

The multi-day gathering draws thousands of fans to the region but is not without controversy: Three concertgoers have died at or near the festival since the event moved to Hardin County in 2007.

Gathering of the juggalos – the effects on a small town terrorized by clowns

Cullison’s staff is working to tally the financial blow the gathering of up to 20,000 Juggalos has had on the sheriff’s department budget this year.

“The secretary and bookkeeper are working on it now. It will tear it up, I know that much,” Cullison said.

The department issued 187 citations, made 37 arrests and investigated home invasions, one of which ended with the arrest of a Kalamazoo, Mich., man.

Cullison also received many reports of garden ruined due to raiding by Juggalos.

BAN THE JUGGALO GATHERING , whos going to fund the police to keep these hoodlums at bay , and for a staff of 8 police 200 arrests is staggering for a 4 day peroid where most these juggalos kept locked up in camp grounds , if the law enforcement was larger that number would most likely multiply by a rate of 1000%.

‘Juggalos’ Shirt Offends Bar Patron Who Uses Knife to Remove It

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — One man’s shirt upset another man at a local bar so much that he used a knife to remove the shirt, said police.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, the incident happened shortly before midnight Aug. 4 at Brewster’s Pub on Beach Boulevard.

Investigators said the victim was wearing a “Gathering of the Juggalos 2009″ shirt, referencing an annual music festival.

Another man in the bar saw the shirt and asked the man if he was at that festival.

When the man said he was not there, the suspect reportedly pulled a knife and told him, “You have no right to wear this,” before beginning to cut the back of the shirt.

The victim told police when the suspect moved around to his front and got the knife near his neck, he grabbed the suspect’s hands. But the suspect broke free, and ripped the shirt and a necklace from the victim, again telling him he didn’t have the right to wear it.

The victim then went outside while the suspect stayed inside. Witnesses at the scene agreed with the victim’s side of the story, and one of the band members found the suspect, 21-year-old Terrence Joseph Hoover, took his knife and forced him to leave, according to the police.

Hoover was gone by the time police arrived, but they had the knife and a description of his car, which helped them determine Hoover was the suspect.

According to St. Johns County public records, Hoover, a St. Augustine resident, has been jailed four times since turning 18, including an aggravated assault arrest in February of this year; he was released in March.

He was arrested in St. Johns County Monday, and transported to Jacksonville Thursday, where he was booked into the Duval County jail on an aggravated assault charge.

Juggalos upset cave in rock – drugs , dead bodies and chaos – end of the gathering

CAVE-IN-ROCK, Ill. — Police said the Coast Guard pulled the body of 24-year-old Jesse Waters of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, out of the water in Union County, Kentucky, in the Sturgeon Island area.

That’s just about 100 feet from the Gathering of the Juggalos. Police have since confirmed Waters disappeared from the gathering Friday night before his body turned up on the Sturgeon Island. Police said they don’t suspect foul play.

Sheriff Lloyd Cullison said the event Waters was attending is bringing more trouble than it’s worth.

The Insane Clown Posse’s Gathering of the Juggalos is over and the cleanup process has begun. The Juggalos are leaving town until next year but Sheriff Lloyd Cullison wishes they would leave and not come back.

“A lot of drug arrests,” Cullison said. “A couple firearms taken off of people. We had one guy that was high on drugs and tried to stab a couple people with some glass.”

Any town would love for 10,000 people to come and visit, right? Well, not Hardin County, Illinois. Cullison said it’s not worth the trouble.

“I’ve been a policeman for 36 years and I’ve never seen anything like this. Just so out of control,” Cullison said.

He said to gain control of any situation is tough because the lack of manpower his department has.

“For a police department to not be able to handle it and do anything about it, just makes you feel helpless.”

Although Illinois State Police did assist his department, it still puts a strain on resources that are sparse.

“Without them guys, I would have been in a lot of trouble,” Cullison said of ISP’s help.

He said the trouble only grows year after year. With a jail that only holds eight and arrests in the hundreds, he said enough is enough.

“It seems like every year it gets a little worst,” he said.

If he had any choice in the matter, he never wants them to return.

“Have it somewhere else,” he said. “We can’t handle it in Hardin County.”

Local 6 tried to talk to event organizers and the owner of Hog-Rock Campgrounds. They said they don’t speak to the media and asked us to leave the property immediatly.

Again, police say they don’t suspect foul play in Waters’ death. They’ll release the official cause of death after an autopsy and toxicology reports.

Juvenile attacked at gotj – gathering of the juggalos

Last night, Lil Jon confronted a sprinkle of debris onstage, though he finished off his show and even later came out again during Ice Cube’s set wearing an Insane Clown Posse shirt. He handled it well, though Juvenile didn’t. When he emerged, he pandered, “Can I be a part of what you all have going on here?” but Juggalos intermittently threw things at him, so he finally got pissed off. “Next motherfucker who throw something up here at me, fuck him up or I’m leaving.” Somebody almost immediately fired a water bottle at his head, so he walked offstage and left the premises right away, in a huff.

Feel Safe Juggalos – Gathering of the Juggalos — LESS Security This Year

After last year’s attacks of Tila Tequila and Method Man, you’d think the Gathering of the Juggalos would INCREASE security. Not only would you be wrong, but they’re doing the EXACT OPPOSITE.

Violent J from the Insane Clown Posse (the group behind the annual festival) tells TMZ … ICP feels the TALENT was to blame for last year’s violence … because they incited the crowd while onstage.

Mr. J believes the performers lined up for the 2011 festival have “mad respect” for the juggalos … and won’t make the same mistake.

In fact, the group is SOOOOOO confident the juggalos will remain peaceful, they’ve only booked a small group of private security guards to work the event … and have NOT asked for help from local police.

The event is scheduled to go down from August 11-14 in Cave-In-Rock, IL — and the lineup includes Charlie Sheen, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice.

What are the chances all 3 walk away from the event unscathed?

MC Hammer — Juggalo Death Wish
6/7/2011 12:45 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

MC Hammer is risking serious bodily injury — because the rapper has agreed to perform at the 2011 Gathering of the Juggalos … just one year after TWO performers were brutally attacked by fans.

The Insane Clown Posse — the group behind the GOJ — just announced the return of the 4-day concert via YouTube … with a line-up that includes MC Hammer, Psycho Jesus, and Lil Wyte.

Tila Tequila and Method Man were featured performers at last year’s Gathering — but each left the stage dripping with blood after fans went ballistic … and pelted them with rocks and beer cans.

The concert is set to go down in August — leaving Hammer with a whole 2 months to change his mind … unless he really needs the money.
