Video: Fugazi wannabe rescued while hanging shirtless from a basketball hoop
A Seattle man (top left) was rescued by police after hanging from a basketball hoop according to Komo News:
The hammer-wielding man somehow climbed up the hoop at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood…and became stuck. As nearly a dozen police officers looked on, the man then began thrashing around, at times dangling just by his stuck foot, other times with his head stuck inside the rim, all in an apparent attempt to free his foot.
Twice as the man dangled by just his foot upside down, police officers attempted to get him free, to no avail. It took a ladder from a Seattle Fire truck and two firefighters to climb up and cut down the net and free the man.
The man’s performance brought back shades of Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto’s famous basketball hoop performance during the band’s 1988 Philadelphia show (above right). The best way to truly experience this display is to blast Fugazi’s Waiting Room while watching the video below:
Also here is a short clip of the original Fugazi performance:
