Video: Canyon Country [CA] musician attacked with ax
KTLA ^ | by: Sareen Habeshian, Sandra Mitchell

Posted on 04/05/2022 4:44:16 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Andy Torres was practicing playing the drums Saturday morning, when his music apparently made another man so angry, he attacked the musician with an ax.

“With no warning, just came up from behind … it was very scary, it was surreal,” Torres said.

Torres was wearing his heavy metal costume and mask, practicing his drumming at Todd Longshore Park in Canyon Country just after 7 a.m. Saturday.

He says the attacker came at him in a rage and destroyed his $500 portable drum set.

“He could’ve simply told me to shut up, to quiet down and I would have obliged,” Torres said.

Destroying the drum kit is a bit over the top, but dumb dumb should not have been at the park at 7:00 am.

I find it hard to blame a fellow for being just a tad frustrated with a shaggy-haired "heavy metal" guy in skull makeup banging on a drum kit at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning.

Dude, I don’t care how good a drummer you are, pounding the skins in a public place at SEVEN IN THE MORNING? Are you an idiot, or just an a-hole?

I likely would have helped the guy silence the racket.

SPJNK!

"Torres captured the entire incident on camera."

Reading further, I think this is one of those social media jerks who provoke people for video to upload to the Internet.

I'm going to have to develop a personal plan to deal with guys/gals like this.

All the BS about how he would have stopped if asked is just that - BS.
