#Occupy Maine Goons Arrested After They Choke and Beat Camp Drummer With a Hammer

Peaceful #Occupy protester beats camp drummer in the head with a hammer.
Chris Schisler did not appreciate the camp drummer waking him up at 7 AM.
Two Occupy Portland goons were arrested after they choked and beat the camp drummer with a hammer.
The Press Herald reported:
Portland police say they have charged a man with assaulting another man with a hammer at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police charged Chris Schisler who said recently he has been staying at the camp for several weeks, with assaulting another member of the camp at about 7 a.m.
The victim of the assault was taken to a local hospital with a head injury, police said.
Demonstrators said that the victim of the assault was banging on a drum to wake protesters to participate in a morning cleanup exercise, raking leaves so the city could collect them. The morning cleanup had been decided at the previous night’s general assembly, though many people at the camp were not there.
When the man started drumming to wake the camp, Schisler allegedly told him to stop and when he didn’t, smashed the drum head with the hammer, protesters said. In the ensuing confrontation, Schisler hit the man – a protester who has been active in park governance and maintenance – in the head…
…Portland police have charged a second man in a morning assault at the Occupy Maine encampment in Lincoln Park.
Police issued a court summons to Danny Arnold, 34 on a charge of choking another man.
A police press release said Arnold and Chris Schisler, 34, assaulted Alan Porter, 45, as he was banging a drum to wake people at the camp. Schisler, who was located at the Portland Public Library after the 7 a.m. assault, is being held on $10,000 bail at Cumberland County Jail, charged with hitting Porter in the head with a hammer.

At last some sanity among the occupee’s. Someone should have beat the drummers with their own instruments.

Such peaceful people! How many working stiffs do you know who get to sleep in until 7 am, other than the ones who work 2nd or 3rd shift?

How all drum circles should end.

Chants, “peaceful” as repetitiously as the drummers drummed.
LoL!

This is exactly how the White House is run. This has been a fabulous experiment in having a Community Organizer run the biggest economic engine in the world. Can we end it now?
West commented:
I am really enjoying watching these morons attempt to re-learn some of the basic rules of survival – don’t excrete where you eat, rules for behavior (and some method of enforcement), and ‘keep the women at the center of the herd’.
Stuff normal people internalized about 50,000 years go.
These people all ‘believe’ in evolution, but i don’t think it believed in them.
Nancy commented:
Ah yes, fond memories of the Tea Party! How I remember the days when we used to beat our drummers when they woke us up too early!
No, wait ….
Patty commented:
Attempted murder charges.
“The morning cleanup had been decided at the previous night’s general assembly, though many people at the camp were not there”.
This is still no excuse for trying to kill another human being.
Proves the caliber of protesters. Animals.
Patty commented:
I suppose they forget to give Chris Schisler the memo.
Patty commented:
Oh, and Arnold!

Bang the drum slowly…Beat the drummer slowly.

I’d use the drumming on the drummer defence.

Will anyone be surprised if pretty soon they start eating their own?
Joe College commented:
Chris Schisler is a member of their ‘security team’. Huffpo identified him as such when they interviewed him about a bombing at the site last month…
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/24/chemical-bomb-detonates-occupy-maine_n_1029100.html
“WASHINGTON — Occupy Maine’s Portland encampment faced a chemical bomb explosion early Sunday morning. While no one was injured, some demonstrators’ property was damaged at the Occupy Wall Street-inspired protest.
The homemade bomb, which was thrown from a silver Toyota around 4 a.m., destroyed several handmade signs when it exploded upon impact, according to Christopher Schisler, a member of Occupy Maine’s security team who was sitting just 8 feet from the explosion.”

I love how Huffpo is careful to mention how “some demonstrators’ property was damaged”. I wonder if they ever report that information when a bank is trashed.
No I don’t.

Does not anyone remember the folk song in the 60s “If i had hammer, i would beat it in the morning all over this land”? Ancient hippies like Joan Baez does.

Rhoda R commented:
All of the above comments are legit, but … I’d probably want to cream any idiot who went around drumming to wake me up. Alarm clocks are bad enough.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Isn’t the real story hear that the drummer lit up a joint and accidentally caught his own hair on fire, and in a panic grabbed a nearby hammer and tried to put out the fire by bashing it repeatedly on his scalp?
DaMav commented:
Downtwinkles with a hammer.
donh commented:
This is why I have been saying from day 1….taunt these people with one single message of truth….” GET A JOB ” … Tell them to get a job and they become extremely violant. These are the professional lay abouts who spend their whole life gaming the system for free stuff. Hardly any minorities in Maine either…Its all these white trash alcohaulic and drug users like aptly named Chris CHISELER.
chuck in st paul commented:
Cool! Can we raise some bail money for them? and buy him another hammer?
Works for me, considering the mayors don’t.
Ace commented:
To tell the truth, I’m pretty much bored with these idiots.
owsk1108 commented:
I was there. The Hammer Committee was just trying to block the Drummer Committee’s wake up point of order. They’re just trying to follow Robert’s Rules of Order. That Ketchup person who identifies as a condiment rather than a female wasn’t there to chair the proposal. This should be resolved in General Assembly when the dog arrives. TWO PAWS UP!
Texas_Treeroach commented:
CAN’T WE JUST LET THE LOGIC WORK?
You know what they say: If you have only one tool in your toolbox, you tend to fix everything using that tool. Results are usually disappointing.
This story, however, goes from disappointment to potential lethality; and introduces a zero sum theoretical conundrum that can, however, be solved and proven:
A tool, wielding a tool, in order to beat another tool, beating his own tool will only produce desirable results if the tool with drum uses the drum to beat the tool, with the hammer.
It’s unfortunate that this theory was not allowed to play out into a proof.
MamaGrizzly commented:
Hopefully, but probably NEVER happen, these OWS-ers will see why we have society and why we have society with rules.
Like . . . hmmm . . . Dalmatian dogs were used on fire trucks to guard the equipment from thieves. Before that they ran under coaches to attack highwaymen.
Not much has changed. Without rule of law, and enforced law and order, these things would be happening to a much greater degree than they are.
Obama would like nothing better.

“Chris Schisler”
Criminals have one of a finite set of somatypes. This guy has the most common: the chiseled face with wild eyes and hair generally upstanding and cropped.
The criminal personality can be spotted easily by knowledgeable eyes. The criminal mind is part of an entire criminal personality, to include the body, the somatype. Everything comes in wholes, never parts. Discerning, experienced public employees, such as police, fire folks and transit operators, spot the signs of criminal personality easily, first signaled in the facial/eye/hair construction.

Collectivism’s bright and shining beacon casting it’s light of humanity and cooperation. Winter is coming – maybe that’ll take some of their enthusiasm away.
Bloodless Coup commented:
No impulse control? Maybe this man can get some anger management therapy while in prison. Because of his lack of self-control this man did want many New Yorkers have wanted to do for weeks. The difference is that most people have some self-control and a healthy fear of going to prison. It was a dirty deed but someone had to do it. I am glad it was an Occutard and not one of us. (LOL)
xstormbringerx commented:
What’s with leftists and their lame drum circles. I guess all those drugs swirling in their near brainless heads make it impossible for them to see just how ridiculous they are to normal people.
Mark commented:
Do you know how to get an occupy drummer off your front porch? You don’t. To get a real drummer off your front porch you pay for the pizza and give him a tip. An occupy drummer would have to get the job first. Then you would take the pizza, scream “BOYCOTT DOMINOES”, don’t pay, don’t tip, then slam the door. If that didn’t do it, get the hammer.
