How could the cast of Fox & Friends, a reality show about several adults who can’t read, get any worse? How about if its anchors started throwing sharp weapons at people on the street?

For some reason, co-anchor Pete Hegseth attempted to throw an ax at a target just before a commercial break. Several West Point drummers were lined up behind said target, drumming away to celebrate Flag Day.

But instead of hitting the target, or even the wooden wall holding up the target, the ax sailed over and nailed one of the drummers right in the arm—by some miracle not dismembering him. Drummer Jef Prosperie recounted the ax-blow on Facebook:...

“I think the anchor person went rogue and decided to throw it.”

1. is there video of this... incident?

3. D'oh!

[0rganism]

5. LOL! i like how the other drummers keep right on drumming

there's some kind of grand metaphor available here, but i think i'm missing it because i keep cracking up every time i watch the vid.

8. Hahaha they did

That's Titanic Band material right there. 😝

18. Ain't no mystery: "The show must go on."

You play until the drummer stops. And when it's all drummers...well...lol.

7. It takes a lot to be the dumbest thing ever on Fox News, but I believe we have a winner. . .

15. So the object is to get it over that wall and kill the little drummer boys?

Hmmm...about the MOST sane thing I've ever seen on Foxnews, not that I watch it if I can help it. I like how he 'walked off' a hatchet to the arm! Give that poor fella a bonus! I notice nobody give two shits...however if that had sliced his arm in half and blood was gurshing out...THEN everyone would be looking and interested!

Not that watching some moron throw and axe like a newbie isn't funny...it is but killing the little drummer boy is for the bonus round!

4. Oh my god? Did the asshole who threw it even go see if the guy was OK?

[0rganism]

6. even the other drummers didn't stop to check

must be part of some medieval drumming tradition: if the guy next to you gets hit with a flying axe, whatever you do. don't stop playing that drum!

11. Hey, we're drummers, not medics

You really don't want a drummer providing anything remotely close to providing medical assistance. These guys know their roles.

17. I have to say, the drummer to the left avoided any ricochet like a boss!

LIKE A BOSS!

20. If he wasn't hurt too badly he should have picked up the ax and returned it.

Not by throwing but by walking back with it looking like he was going to tear the idiot a new dung hole.

9. I like how the Fox Fuck turns around and walks away without any consideration

They're a different species.

10. Am I missing something?

What is the purpose of throwing an ax at a target on a crowded street??? Sheesh, hope the poor drummer is ok, no one in the video seems to care.

12. Holy Crap.

They're certainly not hired for their ability to understand cause and effect.

13. He must have thought it was Neil Peart

[KamaAina]

14. I can certainly see why he'd have a grudge against Neil

16. Walk it off Little Drummer Boy!

Killing Drummer Boys with an axe is the bonus round! That mouthpiece was cheating!
