Charles "Yammy Bear" Jackson was brutally attacked by a resident who was recently released from incarceration into the re-entry program/facility where he works. CJ should've bled out immediately when his attacker ran up and swung a metal bike tire pump at his head like he was hitting a baseball. The impact was likely between 80-120 mph. The back of his skull was crushed. That alone should've killed him. He lost consciousness for over 5 minutes. His head was lacerated and bleeding inside and out. He should've bled out but by God's grace and the fast response of two of his coworkers and another resident, he is alive today.  CJ had been taking blood thinners since his bone marrow transplant in January 2023 when The central line placed into his heart formed a large clot that broke off into his heart and many smaller pieces into his lungs and nearly killed him. The amount of force required to fracture the occipital bone into pieces is boggling. "The occipital bone is the thickest among the cranial bones. Fracture of the occipital bone requires a great amount of force, hence when the occipital is fractured the magnitude of the force is considerable and sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3134909/) MY HUSBAND IS A LIVING MIRACLE. BUT THE TRAUMA DIDN'T STOP AFTER HE WAS ATTACKED. He is struggling with his brain injury. Things don't always make sense, words don't always come, he's forgetting things, and his mood is dysregulated! SO PLEASE, pray for us. I have been traumatized and also absolutely surrounded by love all in the same situation. The people who love us poured into us, showed up for us, prayed for us, and showed us nothing but compassion has been astonishing. https://www.postbulletin.com/news/local/charles-yammy-bear-jackson-injured-in-attack https://www.kimt.com/news/rochesters-yammy-bear-beaten-and-in-icu/article_164133f0-0403-11ef-b681-7be30ee7bf92.html https://krocnews.com/man-accused-of-attack-on-rochester-community-activist-volunteer/ https://krocnews.com/gofundme-for-rochester-community-leader-injured-in-brutal-assault/ https://www.kttc.com/2024/04/28/friends-family-face-yammy-bear-hold-prayer-service-his-honor/?outputType=amp https://www.kaaltv.com/news/man-faces-charges-after-alleged-tire-pump-assault/ https://www.kimt.com/video/continuing-the-mission-yammy-bears-impact/video_85829429-5530-5a03-bfe9-394363d5b589.html https://www.kimt.com/video/rochesters-yammy-bear-is-in-the-hospital-after-beating/video_54b0ec58-6962-5a8f-8be8-af1c42fe4aa8.html
