Juggalo Throws Book At Violent J After Getting A Little Too Much Faygo Tossed His Way

An Insane Clown Posse fan is suing the half of the horrorcore duo who goes by the name Violent J, as well as a venue in Fargo, N.D., after sustaining injuries during a 2007 show thanks to an errant two-liter bottle of Faygo that got thrown into the teeming masses of Juggalos rushing the concert’s stage. John Antonelli is looking for at least $50,000 from Violent J and the venue after suffering a fractured bone near his right eye.

Antonelli was injured during the concert after Joseph Bruce – known as Violent J – threw an unopened two-liter bottle of soda into the crowd. The bottle struck Antonelli in his right eye, Cass County District Court documents state.

The band often sprays audiences with Faygo soda during shows, which are often attended by a group of fans that call themselves Juggalos. …

Antonelli’s suit claims that Bruce was negligent for throwing the bottle without warning and Playmakers was negligent for not providing sufficient security and control of Bruce, court documents state.

In a response to the suit, Playmakers agrees that Bruce threw a bottle into the crowd and injured Antonelli. Bruce is alone in the blame for Antonelli’s injuries, the response states. The venue is working to find out more about the band’s liability insurance, attorney Duane Ilvedson said Tuesday during a scheduling hearing.

Violent J—real name “Joseph Bruce” (bor-ing!)—hasn’t responded to the suit yet (and probably won’t for a while, since the trial doesn’t begin until well after the Plains have thawed out from the winter), but one thing’s for sure: That Faygo endorsement is even more far-off now.
