‘My Ohio connections run deep, and what happened to you will NOT be tolerated by the ‘true’ Ohioans (like yourself), as justice will reign supreme’

Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen is among those donating to the recovery of Holly, the white Ohio woman who was knocked unconscious in a viral mob attack in Cincinnati on July 26, as contributions approach a half-million dollars.
In a personalized message with his gift of $1,000, Sheen wrote: “Hi Holly. both of my parents are from Ohio. i’m a lifelong Reds fan and I also play for the Indians in a film years ago.
“My Ohio connections run deep, and what happened to you will NOT be tolerated by the ‘true’ Ohioans (like yourself), as justice will reign supreme. heal well, young lady, and know that we are all rooting for you.”
The GiveSendGo donation page was set up by journalist Benny Johnson, and Sheen, who starred as “Wild Thing” baseball pitcher Rick Vaughn in 1989’s “Major League,” thanked Johnson for the effort.
“Benny! I was merely following your gracious lead!” Sheen said on X. “The speed at which you and Sen Moreno hatched the donation plan, was stunning and compassionate and as patriotic as it gets. You both reminded all of us of the America we remain proud to call – home. Keep up the great work, and to Holly, ‘we’ have your six.”
Johnson responded, saying, “Thank you, @charliesheen for adding your powerful voice to this movement. And thank you to every American who refuses to stay silent. Holly’s not alone. We are American .”
