Don't Mock "Bongo Jesus"

"Wisconsin police say a street musician apparently upset by criticism of his music bashed a man over the head with his guitar, slammed another person into a wall and wrestled with an officer before being arrested.

"Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain tells The Capital Times that 31-year-old Brandin Hochstrasser, known as 'Bongo Jesus,' was performing Thursday when a 54-year-old man knocked his music. DeSpain says the two argued and police were called when Hochstrasser began hitting his critic with his guitar.

"DeSpain says Hochstrasser then charged the man, knocking him down. An officer used a stun gun to subdue and arrest Hochstrasser."

I am always a "little" on edge...... It's pretty bad when Jesus needs a stun gun to subdue him.

I can see why he got pissed with a last name like "Hochstrasser"

Good thing he's not a football player, his name would not fit on the jersey.
