clifford_thornton Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Drummer Avreeayl Ra was attacked and beaten by a gang of racist scum in Chicago early Saturday morning. He's likely going to be physically okay, but will be out of work recovering for some time -- and the psychological trauma from such an incident is itself tough to imagine. My friend Alissa set up a gofundme page to help out with expenses and support during this time. Please spread the word and help if you can. https://www.gofundme.com/2jrx9c4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin V Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 This is horrible news. I hope that the police catch his attackers and that Avreeayl Ra makes a speedy and full recovery. He's a heck of a drummer. I haven't seen him perform in person, but I hope to see him at some point in Chicago or with one of the many Chicago groups that play here.
