This is the preliminary site for what is going to be the Antiviolence LA Charity.

My name is Sam Pfannkuche from Imperative Reaction. The reason I am created this fund is because my brother, Josh, was involved brutal attack in LA on the Metro subway on May 15, 2005. The attackers slammed his face repeatedly into the bar on the seat in front of him then proceeded to rob him. He woke up a few hours later and crawled onto a street where someone found him and took him to the hospital. His jaw was broken and detached and is now wired shut, his eye socket fractured, sinuses shattered, nose broken, teeth broken. We feel truly blessed that he is still alive, as he was left for dead. He is doing better now and is out of the hospital, but life is still quite difficult. Thw MTA in Los Angeles has been less than helpful. There was a camera on the train. With no tape in it. It was closed circuit and the driver wasn't watching, didn't even notice my brother was left on the train. He managed to crawl out onto some random street and someone found him. The MTA just mopped up the blood, and never filed a report. My brother's girlfriend attempted to file one, and they came three days later to get his story. They tried to kill my brother. The worst the LA is persuing is a "kidnapping" charge, as they held him on the train. I feel it was attempted murder. You can find his entire story online here in his Friendster Blog.

Myself, in conjunction with some of the top promoters in LA in our scene, are putting together a benefit which will be called 'Antiviolence'. All proceeds for this event will be divided between the National Center for Victims of Crime (who are officially on board, and are excited about this) and for Joshua's medical bills which will be immense due to his lack of health insurance and impending reconstructive surgeries, most to them to his face and jaw. I would like to help my brother as well as give to an organization that has helped him and others nationwide in similar sithations. I have secured the talent line-up for this event, but I am still having difficulty finding a venue in the Los Angeles area that doesn't have an outrageous rental fee or insane bar guarantee. If you can be of any service, please e-mail me at evolve555@hotmail.com

I am also seeking to acquire merchandise for this event. I am also working on a raffle for this event and have confirmed product donations from artists such as AFI, Assemblage23, Imperative Reaction, System Syn and others; as well as donations from labels such as Metropolis Records, DSBP Records, 23db Records and others. I am also in the process of securing donations from local merchants. Please contact me at evolve555@hotmail.com if you are interested.

If you would like to donate money, please use the PayPal/DropCash.com link at the bottom of this page. I would like to thank each of you for your consideration and your kind words. Best wishes to everyone, and please be safe.

Sincerely,
Sam Pfannkuche/Antiviolence LA
