Feb 23 2006Joe Pesci can do whatever he wants
Officials said today that Joe Pesci won't be charged for punching a fan who photographed him in a shopping center parking lot because there wasn't really any chance he would be convicted.
"The investigating officer was unable to determine who the primary aggressor was and there are no independent witnesses to the incident," Richstone wrote in response to a Boca Raton police warrant request.
If a fight breaks out between Joe Pesci and anybody else, it's usually a safe bet to assume the "primary aggressor" was Joe Pesci. This is the guy that stabbed a man to death with a pen in Casino for crap's sake. And just because I can't tell the difference between fiction and reality doesn't mean he didn't actually stab a guy to death with a pen. How is he not in jail? That's crazy.

How has no one just lost it and killed this little guy already? Can someone go ahead and take care of that for me?

Excuse me..."chopping center"

i think a 'chopping mall' is the same as a 'chopping center'.
Duh.

Anywhere Joe Pesci hangs out.

Joe Pesci is a leather face and will always be a leather face. One day he'll get his beats and cry like preschooler.
Or did you forget, celebs buy their way out of trouble?

Typo* like a preschooler

That was Goodfellas in which he stabbed a man to death with a pen, not Casino.

who the hell is stoopid enough to start shit with joe pesci in the first place?
you think I'm funny? like a clown? ...
20. LaydeeBug - February 23, 2006 5:12 PM
No, it's just that I'm yout-ful.
God I started to hate Joe Pesci after Goodfellas and Casino because he was typecasting himself. I mean how many times can you watch the same character? (Ex: Robert Deniro, and I like Deniro, but c'MON!)
21. Lynette Carrington - February 23, 2006 5:44 PM
uhkay, uhkay, uhkay, uhkay, UHKAY!
Anybody that has seen anything starring Joe Pesci should KNOW better than to mess with Joe Pesci.
I'm quite certain the offending fan will probably wake up one morning humping a horse head or will soon be in dire need of knee-cap surgery.

24. derekd - February 23, 2006 10:26 PM
I love Pesci's work but I think thats bullshit that he's not at least being charged.
25. derekd - February 23, 2006 10:27 PM
I love Pesci's work but I think thats bullshit that he's not at least being charged. If it were me I woulda been executed already.

Here's a classic
Did you say you're a fast cook?!!! Are we to believe that boiling water magically soaks into a grit faster on your stove? Do the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove?!
27. gogoboots - February 23, 2006 11:36 PM
Pesci's always been nuts, that's nothing new...actually, of course celebrities can punch people and kick their ass, they are ABOVE THE LAW!

"You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Okay. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with. For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit."--George Carlin

#9 The pen was Casino (DeNiro was standing there not doing anything) had it been in Goodfellas, DeNiro's character would have been in on the beating.
