Olympia, WA (11-13-14) — RE: The dual assault on Long Haired David

David had told me of a person who owed his next door neighbor payment for a bicycle. The neighbor is disabled, and David took it very seriously. I was sitting on the leaf bench with Steven La’Fontaine, and David pulled up on his bike and parked it. offered us some cupcakes, which we declined, so he walked back to his bike to put them away. He stood there for a bit. That man apparently was walking by last night 11/13/14 at about 10:30.
David confronted him over the debt. There was an escalating heated argument. But then, the man broke off the altercation and walked away towards Franklin St.

I turned to Steven, and said that it looked like it was over, no need to intervene. The guy got about 15 foot away, then turned and rushed back and up to David. He grabbed David by the front of his vest, then while screaming in his face, slowly leaned both of them through the window. Both locked together.

I rushed over, and tried to pull the guy off of David’s chest, but they were so tight in each others grip, I could not move them at all. There were huge glass shards left hanging down. I feared they would come down on them and me, so I grabbed the biggest ones and yelled for the people behind me to pull them out. Three guys grabbed and yanked them together out of the opening.

The guy ran off, again towards Franklin, his original direction before anything. I helped David over to the bench, he sat down, and was livid about the incident. There was no visible blood I could see. I went back over to the window to see what I could do about those hanging shards before someone else got hurt. As I turned back to look at David, he got up and took three steps towards the street, when Kiel ran out and punched David in the side of the head. It was a serious “prize fighter” stance and blow. Then he ran away around the corner. David was unconscious from the punch. He made no gesture to protect himself from his head hitting the street. He did not move at all. I rushed over beside him, counting seconds since I saw him go unconscious. he was out for 9 seconds. He was breathing, and finally responded when I said his name. I kept him from getting up until the paramedics showed up, but when they did, he insisted on sitting up. brushing bloody hair from his face, he slowly realized where he was, remembered the window.

At that point I stood back and answered OPD’s questions and whatever else I could do. The police chief said they had caught Kiel a couple blocks away on Fifth. I do not know the name of the first guy who pushed David through the window. It had been told to me twice, but I did not remember it.

Duggins’ Earlier Assault On An Olympia Metro Bus Driver

Brutal Olympia Bus Attack Caught on Camera | Driver Get Beaten Terribly by Passenger

Brutal Olympia, Wash., bus attack caught on camera A simple route along the west side of Olympia became a ride from hell Tuesday afternoon.

Surveillance video from the Intercity Transit bus shows a horrific attack on a driver after a confrontation and yelling turned into a beatdown.

The video shows a man swearing and harassing passengers, which drew the attention of the driver.

“I told you once. I’m not gonna tell you again,” the driver said to the man, warning him to tone down his language or else he would be thrown off the bus.

Shortly afterward, the driver pulled the bus over and went to the back of the bus to get the man to leave.

“If you hit me in the face, we will fight to the death,” the man said to the driver.

The driver continued to tell the man to leave and he came close, standing right next to the open door. But the man would not leave and the driver eventually tried to shove him out.

The man then began to pummel the driver, hitting him more than two dozen times. One passenger tried to pull the man off but the man paused only long enough to mock the driver.

“You bleeding? Is that real blood? Let me taste it,” he said.

The man eventually left the bus and the passengers and the driver called 911. The driver went to the hospital. Suspect in custody after brutal attack on Olympia bus driver (w/video) A transit bus driver in Olympia is at home recovering Wednesday after he was beaten by a passenger.

Olympia, WA — When Kiel was first released after the bus driver beating, I went to him and tried to assess his condition and attitude. I decided to keep an extra sharp lookout over him, and warned any potential persons of the danger.

He was remote, and non-committal. Not quite what you would call stable. Two-three times a day I would see and talk with him a bit.

I spoke with Kiel moments before the first argument. He was walking by and I asked him where he was heading, did he have a place to sleep. He said he didn’t have one, and I made a couple of suggestions for cover. At that point the argument started, and Kiel walked off around the corner. I did not see him come back, and never expected anything like this. As far as I can tell, Kiel and the other guy did not know each other. Kiel was not involved in any way, before he rushed out and hit David.

Someone with influence, needs to make sure that he is not medicated, cleaned up and certified out the door, into our laps again. He was gone 90 days for that bus driver beating. The powers that be, will see this as a “lesser” offence, if you let them. And put him back out. Don’t let them do it. I for one, am tired of watching over him. Waiting.

Long Haired David Fawver hospitalized following altercation

by Amelia Dickson (Daily Olympia journalist)

Downtown Olympia activist David Fawver, who goes by the name Long Haired David, was hospitalized Thursday night following an altercation outside of Cafe Love, according to the Olympia Police Department.

Kiel S. Duggins, a 24-year-old Olympia man, was arrested for second-degree assault following the incident, and is being held at the Thurston County Jail. Thurston County Superior Court Judge Anne Hirsch set bail at $50,000 at a Friday afternoon court appearance.

Department spokeswoman Laura Wohl said the altercation began with a dispute over a bicycle in front of the cafe, located on the 200 block of Fourth Avenue. Fawver and another man began shoving each other and fell through the cafe’s front window.

Several people rushed forward and pulled the two men out of the glass, Wohl said. When Fawver stepped back onto the sidewalk, he stumbled into Duggins, who had been watching the altercation.

Duggins responded by punching Fawver in the head, causing Fawver to lose consciousness.

“It sounds like he just hauled off and hit him,” Wohl said. “And he hit him pretty hard.”

Fawver was transported to Providence St. Peter Hospital with a concussion and broken facial bones, Wohl said.

According to the Olympia Police Department, Duggins is the same man who assaulted an Intercity Transit bus driver Feb. 25. The man was sentenced to eight months in custody Sept. 25 with credit for time served.

Hirsch made note of the previous case during the Friday afternoon court appearance, and cited it as a reason for the high bail.

Rob Richards, program manager for the Downtown Ambassador Program, said one of his employees has been in contact with Fawver since the incident, staying with him overnight in the hospital. He said Fawver regained consciousness, and was released from the hospital Friday afternoon.

“This morning he asked my employee to contact a glass shop so that he could pay for the replacement of Cafe Love’s window,” Richards said. “He felt so bad that the window was broken that he wanted to pay for it. So I know he’s going to be OK.”

Fawver’s friends and community members donated enough money to cover the cost of the window replacement on Friday, Richards said.

Fawver became a fixture of the community in 1998 when he co-founded the Emma Goldman Youth and Homeless Outreach Project, Richards said. Since then, he has continued his work with that project and other organizations.

He’s also been a proponent of needle exchange programs, launching a one-man protest when Thurston County cut back its program in 2005.

“He’s always been a figurehead and a well-respected, beloved person in the downtown street community,” Richards said.

Tahoe Jones, a voluntarily homeless activist, is a friend of Fawver’s and witnessed the incident around 10:45 p.m. He said two giant shards of glass were hanging down after the first man grabbed Fawver after an argument and pushed him through the window. However, a second man rushed over and punched Fawver in the head, knocking him out cold, Tahoe said.

“It was totally out of the blue,” Tahoe said.

Cafe Love co-owner Joe Hickox said the plate glass window measured 9.3 feet tall by 3.6 feet wide. He is miffed at paying a $250 insurance deductible, but glad to learn Fawver is recovering and will return to the downtown community.

“He’s a nice guy. Everybody knows him,” Hickox said. “He’s out there helping people all the time.”

    My name is David Fawver BA. I live in this town Olympia Wa 23 years.. I’ve been for almost 23 years known as: “Long Hair” David I just found this article about myself and what happen to me in Downtown Olympia, my town today. I keep finding my picture plus things written, other stuff and I’m the last one to know? Why has nobody told me or in way shape or form interviewed or talked to me? Now I find myself suffering and having a very hard time right now. I can’t articulate whats going on but I’m not getting the Medical help that I need, from the VA or the Civilian Medical Community. What about reporting on this? my personnel needs are not Important but what about the people I serve, and now I’m laid up? With no way to help them. I think that’s important and worthy of news, very important. I’m too sick right now to even write this or defend myself. Forgive but the people I have tried to serve are quite possibly going without services that I quite often provide. please at least gift them some attention.what I have done in this community is not anything special, it’s only what people should do. How hard is it to drive around in circles on a bicycle and give stuff away? It’s only what people should do, nothing special at all. Gift yourself to your community

  2. Amicus Curia says:

    David Fawver told a Mason County Blog reporter he would refuse to testify against Duggins because his assailant is black and David has no faith in the prison/justice industrial complex. He held fast to this reticence despite the fact being pointed out Duggins was a menace to everyone in the community after having already assaulted an Olympia bus driver and gotten a slap on the wrist for it. It was also explained how a litigant (including the state!) has a right to every man’s evidence. After all, that’s why witnesses are subpoenaed and who would want an innocent man going to prison or death row because a witness refused to testify to the truth/facts of a case?

    David complains the system has failed its duty to meet his medical needs, yet is he failing to address the needs of the community for safety out of a desire to be PC? Will Duggins’ next victim suffer even greater injury than David (including permanent hearing loss) or possibly death? Does the community not have as equal a right to justice as David and racial minorities–especially when it is at risk from such blatant egregious crimes of violence? When miscreants are not held accountable, does the community not suffer injury? Will the prosecutor endeavor to subpoena and force David to testify? David says his disability would present a difficult hurdle for the prosecutor to negotiate. How is the state to deal with a reluctant victim as a complaining witness when the community itself shares a large stake in the outcome? Has David reached a paradoxical impasse where by attempting to serve the community at the same time as trying to remain PC, he achieves neither? It’s been said liberals are those who like people in general, just not in the particular. Here is an apparent case of liking the idea of social justice for blacks (in general) so much, that the individual members of the community risk being sacrificed on that altar as a result of David’s intransigence.
