Old guys fighting over their military service again

| June 18, 2015

Willeman

Chief Tango sends us a link to the story of Donald Wileman Sr., 57 and Paul Lazzaro in Pennsylvania whose arguement over their military service led to Wileman stabbing Lazzaro in the neck;

In a videotaped statement at Kingston police headquarters, the witness described for police how he had been biking home when Wileman saw him and invited him into the apartment. Inside, the witness said he heard a discussion between Wileman and Lazzaro about their service days escalate into a shoving match. That’s when Wileman pulled a knife on Lazzaro, the witness told officers.

Wileman got 15-30 months in prison, two years of probation and $11,000 in restitution to Mr. Lazzaro. Wileman is 57 years old – if I look that bad at 57, I hope someone shoots me. I hope the judge knows that it’s going to take him a long time to come up with eleven grand.

Shoot, I don’t believe it. This tool looks even more decrepit (and like a bigger jerk) than SoMeOnE eLsE wE kNoW!

He looks like he’s had his fair share of Dutch Rudder Gang Cocktails as well.

Green Thumb

He probably called him a “steaming pile of Phil Monkress” or a “Phildo”.

I would fight back, too.

I thought that was a picture of me last Saturday morning after being out with friends Friday night. If it’s not me then that’s how I looked Saturday morning.

Bourbon and beer will do that.

Hondo

Dude, next time remember: it’s “bourbon OR beer” – not AND.

Mixing the two is bad news. (smile)

LIRight

Practice, practice, practice!! But I still never improve or learn. 🙂

At the time, it was fun and frankly, delicious.

LIRight

Actually he looks better than I did.

Hondo

Must have been a helluva night out on the town . . . .

I’m sorry, but I don’t find that funny. At all.

LIRight

lol……ruined my pants. Now I have to buy iron-on knee patches.

A couple of winters ago, I saw a drunk picking his way down an icy sidewalk, and before I could do anything, his feet came out from under him and he landed flat on his back. I rushed out to see if he was okay, and found him staring at the sky. When I knelt beside him and grabbed his arm, he slowly rolled his eyes toward me, stared at me for a couple of seconds, then rolled away from me and climbed to his feet. When I asked him if he was hurt or needed help, he said, “Nawp!” and staggered off. I always did wonder if he suffered a brain hemorrhage from smacking his head on the sidewalk like that.

Experienced drunks seem to bounce better than most others.

To go along with the humor of the moment in this story, I added the picture and some comments that are exaggerated, to say the least (ask my wife of almost 45 yrs.)! All in the spirit of good humor.

I’ve had a fair amount of experience over the years helping alcoholics/drunks to the hospital or one of the Catholic Charities here in Long Island back when I was in LE.

Let’s just say the memories are memorable. 🙂

I put myself through college working in an A&D Hospital. I have a feeling we could swap stories for quite awhile. And I’m glad you were only joking above, I was beginning to worry.

LIRight

The risks of commenting are often challenging when one interjects humor into a humorless situation.

You’re right, we could compare hours worth of stories.

Dennis - not chevy

You’re not truly drunk as long as you can grasp those last few blades of grass before falling off the face of the earth.

‘And no officer, I was not lying in the middle of the street; I was merely leaning on it.

2/17 Air Cav

He knew where to cross the street? Hell, no. The poor bastard thought he was climbing up a ladder.

Pinto Nag

Bourbon and beer? That looks more like Meth and Mad Dog to me.

LIRight

If that guy’s 57 I’ll buy him a new bandaid. 77 I think is a lot closer.

Add a little crack to the meth and it becomes a true age enhancer.

More like a lifetime of MD20/20, T-bird, Dutch Rudder Cocktails, and airplane glue.

Ok, I am not going to complain about being 57. I look a HELL of a lot better than this “Gentleman”. DAMN!

Hondo

Considering you can’t change when you were born . . . being 57 beats the hell out of the alternative. (smile)

Ex-PH2

I never looked that bad at 57. I never even looked that bad at 67.

Geez, that picture would scare the hair off an elephant!

A Proud Infidel®™

I bet it would scare the Phildo out of *SLUURP*41!

Silentium Est Aureum

If he’s 57, I’m about 6.

When I clicked on the link to get more details, I also read the comments.

One reader wanted to know, if this guy was fifty-six years old at the time of his arrest, then what war was he in?

Was this a case of an alcohol fueled stolen valor?

What were the details of the dispute?

Poetrooper

I was going to joke that he looks like an old infantry NCO when I realized that might go over like a turd in the punch bowl at this forum.

But seriously, I think twenty years in the infantry can put about forty years on your face. An old buddy from the 101st came to visit us in Pensacola back in the late 70’s when we were both in our late thirties. I’d gotten out after six but he’d stayed in and was by then a first sergeant.

The first time he went into the bathroom, my wife looked at me in disbelief and said, “I thought you told me he is your age.” and I replied, “He’s actually younger.”

She said, “Good grief, he looks at least fifteen years older than you.”

And I replied, “That’s what twenty years in the infantry will do to you.”

Snotcrow

Aint that the truth.

I have friends that stayed in when I left. They do not age gracefully, that is for sure.

B Woodman

DAYYYYUM! I’m 5+ years older than that, and I look twice as good (which ain’t sayin’ much for either him OR me).

Talk about being rode hard and put away wet one too many times.

LIRight

I have to believe it’s a typo….I’m 67 going on 68 and while I’ll never be on the cover of Sports Illustrated, I look a helluva lot better than this poor guy. As I said above, 77 seems a bit closer.

2/17 Air Cav

That photo reminded me of someone. It took a minute before it his me: this guy is Wilby from the 1959 movie, The Shaggy Dog. Poor Wilby. You’ll see what I mean, starting at the 11-second mark of the trailer.

1SG, US Army (Retired)

Let me get this straight… you were biking home at 1:30am and someone “invited you in.”

Drinking, riding a bike and visiting another drunk after midnight to talk war stories — makes perfect sense to me!

Must be friends with Phil Monkass…

Semper Idem

That guy makes Strom Thurmond look like a Playboy Bunny.

How about a spew warning? I now have a pinch of Kodiak and a mouthful of coffee decorating my laptop.

Hack Stone

If two fake warriors get into an argument over who had it rougher with their fake service, would one of them pull out a pistol and shoot the other with blanks?

B Woodman

Only if he’d had a vasectomy.
(rimshot).

Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.

Craig Payne

I was 67 June 18 And I look 100 times better then this dude what the fuc/ happen to him.
What ever he has been drinking he should stop like now.
