A Richmond security guard is recovering from a brutal attack while members of the art community rally behind him. 66-year-old Jack Newsom says, his shift was just ending Saturday night when he was assaulted.
Newsom was left with bruises around his neck, two black eyes, a broken tooth and no memory of what happened.
Back at the depot, the exhibit is now closed to the public but organizers are asking people to "leave a note of kindness" for Newsom. There are also plans to host a benefit for the security guard. See post #18 if you wish to contribute.

Please see picture within the link above - obviously this was a potential life threatening event.
