art and altercations

From Saturday night in Wausau...


An art installation over the street.


The rails look like hands releasing a bird.






Here's where the big bald guy was "explaining" that he didn't mean to shove the girl down. This was after the shoved her down, but before they took her to the hospital. The guy in the sweatshirt had already dialed 911.


Later on, waiting.

UGH...about the shoving and injury. Abusive behaviour...

That umbrella display is really nice...effective in the night light also. What are they hanging from?

Wires across the street. You can see them in places.

That's quite the dichotomy of a post. Beautiful umbrellas... but what the heck was up with the aggro dude hurting the girl?!

I was walking and heard him yell down the street as the four kids were walking away, "you fucking cunt!" He had a problem with the girl in the striped shirt. One of the girls put a hand up, like, "just stop". He took off running after them. The girl in the grey shirt was in back. She spun around and put her hands up to block him. He ran into her and knocked her down. It looked like she hit the sidewalk with her face, but there was no blood.

The police and EMT's showed up after several minutes. They took statements and helped the girl. Another witness was kinda yelling at the cops, "why don't you go in there and get him!" "We know who he is." After they moved toward the bar, the others were telling this guy to shut up. "I yelled at cops before. They don't know what they're doing. They're stupid."

So anyway, the officers went into the bar and I left. I didn't stick around to see them take him out. I can only assume he was arrested.

I can assume he was arrested. I only hope they pressed charges.
