While Adam was in the hospital<\/a> after having his jaw broken, the police came to his hospital room so he could identify his attackers from mug shots. Adam told me that he was getting out of the hospital that evening. I asked where he was going to be staying and he said he was going back on the beach. I worried that he would probably be a target for the gang since he was now a material witness to those apprehended. I was relieved when he decided to return to Seattle instead, where he would be safe, get the treatment he needed and be able to visit his mother who had been diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.<\/p>\n\"DCIM100GOPRO\"<\/a>\n

In our latest interview with Adam he reflects on his time in Hawaii and states how he sees the beating as a blessing. He mentions that it showed him in a physical way how badly he had been beating himself up emotionally with his self-loathing.<\/p>\n
