“It happened so quickly,” Joe Hooker said after his youngest son, Cale, was assaulted at a Mexican bar. A GoFundMe campaign has now been set up for his rehabilitation.
What started as a fun father–son trip to Mexico last month ended two days later with a vicious attack at a bar and a subsequent head surgery.
At around 7:30 p.m., when they settled their bill and tried to leave, the manager claimed they also had to ante up a $50USD cover charge each.But he knew they were in trouble when a man about 6’6” tall and 300 pounds stood by the exit. “It happened so quickly,” Joe said. “All I saw was my son stumbling outside and, at that point, my focus turned 100 per cent to my son.”
But because of the severity of Cale’s injuries, they were quickly transported by ambulance to a larger area hospital and prepared for surgery the following day.Joe waited for six hours. And while he doesn’t remember the name of the bar, Joe filed a statement that is now part of a police investigation.
“We just don’t know what lies ahead for him,” Joe said. “We don’t know how long his recovery will be, or if and when he can go to work.”
