Two patrons were ejected from the Six Flags Great America theme park in Gurnee this week after allegedly striking repeatedly a woman dressed as Porky Pig, police said Tuesday....

Sikalchuk, 19, and Petrychenko, 20, both of Waukegan, denied hitting Porky Pig, police said.

Both were cited for battery and released from custody – and the park.

Merciful heavens!  The accused are off duty employees!

...Both men are employees of the park and were visiting on their day off, Gurnee police Sgt. Jon Ward said....

The suspects denied the attack, but witnesses confirmed the story, police said.

The 24-year-old woman inside the mascot costume suffered headaches and a stiff neck, but did not require hospitalization, Ward said.

The sergeant said the mascots are accompanied by a security guard, and attacks on mascots happen once or twice a year....

That is outrageous! What did they think would happen? I wonder if they did it because they knew who was that character?

Have you heard? Anybody who's anybody knows that the coolest thing to do now—at least in the lawless cesspool of the northwest suburbs of Chicago—is to beat up a mascot at an amusement park. Random assault fever—catch it!...
