WTF?

I'm not sure I follow either the chain of events or the motives here. Some people really know how to have a good time, I guess. Or not. This is from the AP:

CHIPPEWA FALLS -- 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 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 Sept. 11.

Wisconsin IS the brandy drinking capital of the world. And the place where the most UFOs are sighted, incidentally.

It just ain't a wedding unless someone ends up in jail or the hospital or both.
