'Fox & Friends' Co-Host Accidentally Throws Axe at Bystander on Live TV
yahoo ^

Posted on 06/24/2015 8:50:10 AM PDT by BenLurkin

On June 20, the victim Jim Prosperie posted about the incident on his Facebook page, writing, “I was hit by an axe while performing a drum solo live on National TV … words I never imagined saying! This happened last Sunday and I have been reluctant to post but starting to receive inquiries from concerned family and friends. I am thankful to God that the double sided blade only hit broadside on the outer elbow with significant impact and a couple of cuts as it fell along my wrist. It could have been much worse or fatal. Focusing on full physical and emotional recovery."

Rule 4 - know your target and what’s behind it.

The member of the band is fine. His arm was bruised, but nothing serious.

The victim, a member of West Point’s Hellcats marching band, was playing a drum routine nearby in honor of Flag Day.

If it was CONFEDERATE FLAG DAY, he deserved that axe!!!111!1

OMG! The drummer was calm and logical while describing the incident, but this is now, after the shock of impact, after he knows he won’t lose his arm. I see a settlement coming up with a clause to keep his mouth shut. I also see Brian being enrolled in the next Ax Thrower’s Workshop. This is worse than Cheney’s ‘mishap’.

My first thought, too.

Actually, my favorite “strange” (i.e. “Syd”) PF track - love how it builds dynamically to that scream. That style would serve PF quite well from DSOTM...and beyond.

With a complete amateur who has never tossed an axe before, what fool placed the drummers directly behind the target barrier? Fox is so over.

He won’t be able to play drums for a bit, and while I’m not the shyster type, I do hope he didn’t have to pay for anything to get looked at and receive services.

i dont’ know what is worse, performing downwind of a target throwing range (albeit temporary), or throwing an axe at a target when there are people behind it.

Fox news will settle with this guy faster than Micheal Moore can woof down a Quarter-Pounder.

Idiot.

Why don’t news stations just stick with reporting news and cut out all the hoopla?
