Local UAlbany student (and desperate attention-seeker) Chris Schewe threatened earlier this week to chain himself to the Fountain at SUNY Albany to protest the Administration’s decision to cancel Fountain Day.

According to This is College?! blogger Charlie Vella, he’s done it. And they have pictures.

If any SUNY officials are reading this, you should turn on the fountain right now. C’mon, it’d be hilarious.

Schewe wants to send a clear message to the SUNY administration and fellow students, which is “look at how cool I am.”

In a show of solidarity, I have tied myself to my desk:

Pancho Villa would be so proud.

VIVA LA REVOLUCION~!

    Awesome, Kevin! I would tie myself to my desk, too, but I need to make lots of phone calls this afternoon. Also– I’m sure glad I went to Siena.

  2. Em says:

    Everyone should go to the fountain tonight at like 6pm and egg the hell outta him. :)

  3. jakester says:

    Give him s few beers and he’ll make his own fountain day…
    isn’t hat in violation of SUNY’s honor code. No beer for a day?

  4. Kevin Ryan says:

    Am I the only one who finds it especially creepy that a 40+ year old, NON-STUDENT feels SOOOOOOO attached to Fountain Day that he has chained himself to the fountain?

    Should we put this guy on some sort of “watch list” ahead of time, or wait till he starts kidnapping people?

  5. CoolMom says:

    Your foot pic cracked me up! He has a video post, linked here on TU, I believe. He states he’s 41, an Iraq vet and FT student. His beef, is he wants the school to let him head a non-violent, sober fountain day. Uh huh, this after he declares he smoked weed and chained himself to the fountain. WOW!

  6. hellomolly says:

    What a douche. How will he maintain his perfectly groomed brows now?

  7. non_foodie says:

    What an idiot!

  8. HokieMom says:

    besides, yes they should turn the fountain on, I like that security investigated, then left him there – I guessing he hasn’t seen the weather forcast for the next couple nights until his buddy comes back from his weekend away

  9. Danielle says:

    Actually #10 he only eat tampons but maybe we can get him to eat a douche next.

  10. Nut Job says:

    War, tsunami devastation, threat of nuclear meltdown. And Fountain Day tops his list of concerns. Hope he enjoys the weekend out there without a blankie.

  11. Sweetness says:

    Advocating a sober Fountain Day, but is smoking weed. What part of the definition of sober did he NOT understand? The so or the ber?

  12. HomeTownGirl says:

    OMG Kevin, I am cracking up @ you tying yourself to your desk. Ya nut! :)

  13. Roz says:

    Yet another sign that the End Times are nigh!

  14. kathy says:

    Gulf War Vets should protest against HIM-he’s giving them a bad name.

  15. Hal Jordan says:

    $100 says that guy has at least one lampshade made out of human skin at his apartment/trailer/dumpster behind McDonalds that he sleeps in.

  16. Patrick says:

    #5 Kevin: He supposedly is a student.

    I wish he wasn’t because this is ALL we need. He’s apparently been passing time by telling jokes, especially ones that have to do with marijuana (that’ll help the cause).

    Btw, apparenly Glenn Beck noticed THIS one, too.

  17. Danielle says:

    He lives in his parents basement and meet little people on the internets. You’ll see him on L&O Criminal Intent soon.

  18. Tony Barbaro says:

    You bunch of fascists!! This guy is exercising his rights for a cause he believes in….first the Fountain, THEN he’ll end the was. Baby steps people. I once chained myself to a Baskin Robbins that was gonna close, so I feel his pain.

  19. K. Judge says:

    Kevin Mashall always fighting the good fight, you the man

  20. u2 says:

    hmmm. I’m still ticked off you posted about Urijah Faber’s hair. Faber is so overrated. He’ll get a real fight next time. The California Kid is as phony as this guy.

  21. A. says:

    UAlbany is a cesspool.

  22. jakester says:

    He wasn’t in the GULF war it was GOLF war at Frear Park!!!

  23. Kevin says:

    What a loser!

  24. Eric says:

    Pancho Villa would probably be OK with this. Emiliano Zapata on the other hand….

  25. Casey says:

    Let’s not confuse this guy with the meatheads on campus complaining about Fountain Day being called off due to the ruckus they caused on Hudson St. He’s a 41 yo war vet with PTSD and other “issues” that have made him pretty well known to campus security.

    Doing anything other than ignoring him is like paying attention to those people that walk around with “the end is near” signs.

  26. K. Judge says:

    u2- The California Kid comes out to Californie love he is no phony he is as real as they get in my book, your just a Faber hater

  27. Megan says:

    I know him and he’s an idiot.

  28. YetAnotherGraphicDesigner says:

    He eats tampons. Seriously.

    All kidding aside, I’m guessing this guy really has some bonafide mental health issues that need some attention. ASAP.
