Clodgo (P) was working as a manager of D's store in Brattleboro. During a lull between customers, P began firing staples with a staple gun at a co-worker who was sitting on a couch watching TV. The co-worker protested and after 30 or so staples were fired at him, he fired three staples back at P and hit his eye. P filed a workers' compensation claim. P won the claim and D appealed.
