Chippewa Knife Toss!

The happy, candy filled couple

We’re straying from the traditional boundaries of Milwaukee for this jar of candied stupid.   A man, at his wedding, was charged with throwing a knife at a 17 year old wrapped in duct tape.  Let that sink in.

From the Journal Sentinel NewsWatch:

A groom is accused of throwing a knife at his wedding reception and injuring a young man wrapped in duct tape. Matthew J. Willi, 46, is charged with felony second-degree reckless endangerment and misdemeanor endangering safety with a dangerous weapon. The criminal complaint says the victim was with some 17-year-old friends, and with Willi’s son. The two youths played with wooden swords, which split at one point. A friend wrapped the victim’s upper body in duct tape and someone commented he looked like a pinata. Willi, the groom, wanted to hit him with a wooden sword, but the others wouldn’t let him. Willi then allegedly grabbed a handful of knives at a house. The complaint says Willis threw one, hitting the victim in the upper chest. He was charged last week.

Some weddings are boring.  Some weddings, apparently, are filled with wooden swords, knives, teenagers wrapped in duct tape in order to resemble human pinatas and, I’m guessing in this case, crystal meth and aggression.   Perhaps, in subsequent weddings for the groom, he can balance his love of knife play with a more tempered wedding celebration.  Maybe lawn darts?
