A 19-year-old is in trouble with the law after attacking a co-worker. Lincoln police say the suspect was armed with a hammer.

Police say the two men were demolishing a house at 23rd and Q Street in Lincoln, when Joseth Botts attacked his co-worker with the claw end of a hammer. The 20-year-old victim was hit in the back of the head three to four times.

The victim was rushed to a Lincoln hospital. The extent of his injuries is unknown.

Botts was arrested for second degree assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

5. I thought communist was too old-school for today's media. Label du jour is socialist.

I wonder what the future name-calling holds. The evil 'cooperators' maybe?

7. We need the National Hammer Assoc to defend my right to threaten other people with my hammer.

And if people don't like it, well that's just too bad.
