I didn't realize that Juneteenth was such a violent event....

New York Juneteenth Stabbing

And from Milwaukee:

MILWAUKEE - Pat Kasthurirangaian says he doesn't know the people who pulled him from his car and brutally beat him. He doesn't know why they did it. He has some serious injuries after a senseless beating that took place as people left Tuesday's Juneteenth celebration.
Kasthurirangaian spoke exclusively to TODAY'S TMJ4 reporter Michael George. "They broke my nose, they busted my lip in many places, and I have a fractured eye socket," Kasthurirangaian said.
Kasthurirangaian says he was driving to the grocery store he owns about 40 mintues after the celebration officially ended. Many people had remained at the festival site after it was supposed to end at 6pm. A large group of young people walking in the middle of the street at 1st and Burleigh jumped on cars and broke windows.
"It all happened so fast. They started banging on the car. I don't know exactly now, but I was trying to dial 911 on my cell phone. They managed to open the door and pull the cell phone out of my hand," Kasthurirangaian said.
Kasthurirangaian was surrounded by dozens of people and several cars. He says he couldn't drive away. Video exclusive to TODAY'S TMJ4 shows Kasthurirangaian being struck repeatedly while he was still in the driver's seat. When he got out of the car, he was kicked in the head and knocked to the ground.
