GURNEE, Ill. - Police in Gurnee say authorities at Six Flags Great America ejected two off-duty employees from the theme park after they allegedly attacked a female colleague dressed as "Porky Pig."

Gurnee Police Sgt. Jon Ward says 20-year-old Taras Sikalchuk and 19-year-old Dmytro Petrychenko took a photo with Porky on Monday afternoon, and then punched the mascot in the head 10 to 15 times.

Ward says park security detained the men until police arrived. He says Sikalchuk and Petrychenko, both of Waukegan, were issued local ordinance citations for battery.

He says the suspects denied the attack, but witnesses confirmed the story.

The 24-year-old woman inside the mascot costume suffered headaches and a stiff neck.

I don't think we ought to rush to judgement here. How do we know that lady in the Porky Pig mascot didn't bust up one of these guys' friends or something. There's always another side to the story. Just like when Jay and Silent Bob had to mess up the Easter Bunny after it assaulted Broadie.



P.S. - Wouldn't it have been great if when the cops asked them why they did it they said "we hate pigs." Classic.
