A man was rushed to Maine Medical Center's emergency room early Friday morning after an Occupy Wall Street protester struck him in the head with a hammer. The victim was in the hospital for several hours, was treated, and then released.
According to police, the assault happened after the victim was playing drums loudly at Occupy Maine. Chris Schisler, 34, took exception to the drums, approached the man, and, after a brief argument, hit him in the head with a hammer.
Witnesses stated that the man started playing drums at seven in the morning, waking fellow protesters up and demanding that they clean up the park they were in. Schisler became agitated and told him to stop. When the victim refused, Schisler first smashed his drum and then quickly struck him in the head.
Schisler was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. His bail is set at $10,000.
Lesson learned: never bring a drum to a hammer fight?
For the record. Drums are made by Slingerland and Ludwig. Rubbermaid makes BUCKETS!~
Never bring a set of drums to a hammer fight.
Was he named Peter, Paul or (unlikely) Mary?
“victim started playing drums at 7 in the morning”. Hmmm, little hard for me to disagree with the perp on this! Though smashing his drums should have been enough.
When you are holding a hammer at an occupy event, everything looks like a nail.
Where is the OUTRAGE from the Obama administration? I mean, come on, they nailed Palin to the “promoting violence cross” for alot less!!!
I thought I was only make a symbolic statement when I donated a box of hammers. my bad.
If you shaved that guy’s head he’d look like Lenin!
Oh come on, they are living in the streets, do they really think there should be rules about noise????? They can't have things both ways, but they are trying! FOOLS
Why did the man with the hammer allow the OWS protester assault him?
Come election time, we will remind the world that the Dems SUPPORTED these animals...
LOL!
You mean, the other 2/3rds of the commie tool box?
The sickle and the throwing star? ;)
Alot of folks have been asking if OWS has a clear message.
Perhaps this guy was ‘hammering out’ the details.
Or maybe he’s just learning guitar and wasn’t sure what the ‘hammer-on’ technique is.
Or maybe he’s a wrestling fan of Greg ‘The Hammer’ Valentine and he put the guy in the figure-four leg lock after he hit him with the hammer.
These are useless maggots that need to move to North Korea to enjoy the Marxism they so desire.
Try to protest over there, you will find out what a hammer is really about.
I wonder if someone else was watching and yelled, ‘Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt’Em!’
