The supervisor went for a bat. The employee whipped out a weed trimmer. Another worker used a hammer to break up the fight.

That's the scene St. Johns County authorities described Tuesday after a lawn service supervisor criticized one of his worker's grass-cutting skills, The Florida Times-Union reported.

Lance Tywan Wamley, 26, of Hollywood, Fla., is charged with threatening several men with a 34-inch baseball bat and then hitting one man in the chest. The worker, Eric J. Torres, 23, defended himself with a weed trimmer, authorities said.

Another worker, armed with a hammer, broke up the scuffle, authorities said.

Torres was treated at a hospital. Wamley was charged with felony assault and battery. Information on his legal representation was not available Thursday.

Never bring a bat to a weed whacker fight.

I fail to see what this thread has to do with illegal immigration.

Didn't Moe, Larry and Curley do that a few decades ago?

So do I.

I wonder if Wamley has paten rights to the Wamley Whupper?

These guys are just doing the lawn equipment fights that Americans won't do.

More entertaining than Scissors, rock, paper.

I wonder if it was anything like Mel Gibson with the chainsaw in the Thunderdome.

When weed whackers are outlawed, only outlaws will... ah forget it.

[1rudeboy]

It was a joke. All threads lead to illegal immigration. I thought we'd avoid the wait.

Crack is whack.

Was that a fight or were they starting a junkyard band?

It's like a village going to the defense armed with pitchforks, scythes, tree axes, and heavy objects on sticks.
