Scroll through the Palminteri shove in the above photos
By edhat staff
KEYT reporter John Palminteri has gone viral in local channels for pushing a photobombing selfie taker out of his live camera shot on Tuesday.
Palminteri was reporting live from the downtown area when KEYT news anchors C.J. Ward and Beth Farnsworth sent the camera to Palminteri’s view. For a few seconds, you can see a teenager attempting to take a “selfie” with the veteran newsman before he quickly, and promptly, pushes him out of the live camera shot before reading the news.
Live newscasters have to put up with a lot. The weather, finding people to interviews, asking tough questions, staying composed, looking great, photobombers, selfie-takers, the ever-annoying person who waves in the background. It’s a tough job but John Palminteri has been Santa Barbara’s man on the street for years sending news we can trust. His nickname is Primetime for a reason.
Now he has reached immortal fame in the GIF world. Enjoy the viral fame Primetime! Here’s hoping the likes of Jimmy Kimmel increase your viral status.
LOL!!!
All right, JP! Thanks for standing up for your right to report the news even though the little selfie weasel insists otherwise. You rock Santa Barbara, JP!
John Palminteri is an excellent television news professional. He’s also a good, kind, and friendly person. This kid crossed the line, rudely interrupting him while he was trying to work. Good for you, John!
Looks like the Palm may be hit with a lawsuit.
Unfortunately we live in an age where the kid’s bad behavior will also be rewarded. It’s all about the gram these days… ugh.
Mustachio Rides!!
it was very rude of that teen. A little surprised how aggressive John was…there is probably a bit of backstory which is why he appears to be so frustrated at the teen
Yay, John!
He is always so professional..that kid crossed the line…
This is actually disturbing. The anger and hatred on Palminteri’s face and the violent way he pushed this kid who could have fallen and been seriously injured is nothing to congratulate him over. I had an encounter with Palminteri during the oil spill where he stormed a beach we were cleaning up and accused us of unlawfully closing the public beach. He was a big jerk about it trying to force a story when there was none. The beach was not closed. Since then not a fan. After this I can tell you. His dark side is DARK!
He is the poor man’s Ron Burgundy.
Is this not city property? Wouldn’t KEYT have to have a permit to secure a space of city property which would give them legal right to prevent anyone from entering the camera shot?
Give us all a break, Ryan, this is the local news, not a licensed vendor cart at Paseo Nuevo. The selfie punk overstepped his bounds and was shoved out of the way. He’s lucky The Palm was nice & it wasn’t some monster dude that cold-cocked him – lights out – there on the sidewalk. Easy
Agree – The kid was going for the “Look at me” moment and received a surprise. Hopefully, lesson learned to mess with the live news folks.
Thanks for your feels and opinions, but none of that is backed up with any facts. What happens if The Palm pushed some monster dude out of the way, and the monster dude then in turn cold cocked The Palm? The Palm would have struck first. Simple question, if you can’t answer it I’ll understand since I don’t know the answer myself – Does KEYT have a legal right to prevent another citizen from accessing whatever area KEYT decides to shoot their news from?
That silly and extremely rude young man got exactly what he deserved and, without a doubt, wanted—— a bad reaction made in public by a public figure. Shame on that egotistical and narcissistic child. If his parents even think of suing, then they all are deserving of censure.
“Great Knights of Columbus that hurt!!”
Assault charge and lawsuit from kid’s parents pending….
Bend the kid over and spank him while you’re at it.
That’s what your parents said too, boomer.
If someone forced himself in my personal space like that (and trying to take a picture?!) I can guarantee that a shove would be the least of his worries.
The best punishment would be to take his phone away for a week and only return it to his parents. Or, if in a really bad mood, toss it out onto State Street in the path of a vehicle. That’d fix his little wagon as they used to say.
Lawsuit over what? Being a jerk & keeping a person from doing their job? Hah!
Always been a big fan of JP and what hes done for our community, what a total pro move!
That little shove from the Palm was nothing the little SNOT was crossing the line and if he even touched John alittle which it looks like he did it could be an Assault on his self as his selfie is the proof. You can’t just go around running into people to get your picture taken even if you are 10 years old.
Not so fast. If JP had already told the kid to get out of his personal space/no you may not take my picture/etc and the child proceeded to do so OR the kid was somehow physically blocking JP from being in the space where he needed to be (because the shot was already set up), JP need only have experienced a reasonable fear or threat in order to move the child out of his personal space. JP could charge the kid with assault and claim self-defense. Study the law, General.
Well that escalated quickly…….
The kid inflicted a battery on the Palm. The Palm responded with appropriate force.
The kid needs to get a job.
While Palminteri was well within his right to kick (figuratively) the kid out of his shot, I feel that Palminteri’s response was rather aggressive. Look at his face and how strongly he pushed the kid. He could have gently nudged the kid or motioned for him to get lost, but instead he gave the kid a hard shove. Palminteri could land himself in hot water for this one.
Oh give me a break, “hot water” for this? You’re acting like he punched the self-entitled kid, who, by the way, looks to be the first to make contact. That kid deserved it. Chalk it up to what it is – a funny clip.
Dude are you serious? Any physical contact especially this aggressive is technically assault and if the person is under age? Even worse.
Not battery since the kid didn’t touch him.
“My country send me to United States to make movie-film. Please, come and see my film. If it not success, I will be execute.” —— Borat
No matter what it’s against the law for JP to physically shove anyone under these circumstances. I am sort of surprised no one seems to get that. He’s in trouble!
For violently pushing an underaged person who did not touch him?
You got the egotistical narcissist part right, just aimed at the wrong person. JP wins both those titles.
Kid needs to go to juvenile hall in Santa Maria for several weeks, his parents to jail for putting him up to this…
I think The Palm had every legal right in the world to shove that kid away. If someone throws a fake punch at you, and your reaction is to throw a real punch, well, what’s that called? Defending yourself is what it’s called. Not your fault if the fake puncher gets his teeth bashed in and/or clocked on the side of the head with a roundhouse kick. Like the idiots who point a toy gun at a cop or CCW holder….see ya, wouldn’t want to be ya! If it does go to court, I’d like to be on the jury to defend The Palm’s honor….and the honor of all true Santa BARBARIANS.
That seems right. It’s not against the law to be irritating but it is to violently push someone who has not touched you.
I’m generally not in favor of “stand your ground” laws, but I would be in this case. Palminteri should have the right to stand his ground in a situation like this.
Please, everyone: look at the video. The young guy is grinning ear to ear as he’s being pushed out of the way. This was all some big joke to him. I hope KEYT is judicious and understands that JP did nothing wrong whatsoever.
I think that the Palm got punked.
The video says otherwise the kid ran into him this is a set up…
It’s assault actually.
Well, I think you might need to look at law. It’s a first Amendment right to photograph in public – whether the other person wants to be on film or not. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be legal for KEYT to film in public. The kid didn’t touch palm or place his hands on him – or use menacing or threats. Escalating the situation to shoving was a simple assault.
Please. The kid had it coming.
Nope, sorry…. referring to this person as a “child” and a “kid”… that looks like a full blown adult. My Son is 24… looks around the same age. At what age do you expect people to act with responsibility for their own actions – like interfering with a live news cast?
If this was a real estate developer shoving someone edhat would be irate.
The dude was taking a selfie, not throwing a punch. By your analogy the proper response would be for Senior reporter to whip out his phone and take a selfie too.
Taking a selfie is battery? Time to send the Kardashians to Folsom.
Stand your ground is for when you feel your life is threatened. Not from a selfie.
Can we all just get along?
The boot lickers are coming out of the woodwork. Assault is assault.
And what crime did he commit? Trying to take a selfie with a TV reporter. Yeah, major crime.
The best punishment would be to take Senior reporters microphone and moustache away for a week.
ANYTIME you put your hands on someone in that manner you open yourself up to criminal charges. JP is apparently a local celebrity and the person rude or not, was trying to get a selfie with him. A simple “get the hell out of here” would have been enough. The temper loss and the shoving is beyond what the person with the phone was doing.
Give me a big fat break! Stand your ground laws deal with life or death situations. The only person that may have been harmed is the young adult with the phone.
How on the heck was a defending himself? From someone ruining his camera shot. Give me a break! This person was not even facing JP and was NO physical threat to him. On the other hand JP could have caused great bodily harm if this kid had fallen after that shove and gotten his head. It was incredibly beyond called for. Physical violence when no one is threatening you is against the law. Period.
Study the law — and please, use it judiciously!
No, not at all! On-air abuse is a fact of life — newscasters who do so better be prepared, to the point of practicing. I’m surprisingly upset by this. JP made a mistake. What happened to him is nothing compared to the disasters and tragedies that befall so many of us every day. It’s so hard to express one’s self online. I was poorly doing the opposite of equating a selfie with assault and murder. I hope you can now grasp some of my argument better. Peace out. 😉
The higher they are the harder they fall. All you said about The Palm is also the reason he should have acted with more dignity.
That Palm has a nose for news!
Roger, you argued that “the kid” needs to be sent to Juvenile Hall and his parents to jail “for putting him up to this.”
I know the family and they “did not put him up to this.” They are honest, hard-working parents who are working with their son who is neither delinquent nor malicious. He has a problem with being impulsive. And that’s it. They are working with him. I know that “the kid” regrets his actions. But just because it fits your narrative, don’t go mouthing off about the character of the parents or their son until you have more intimate info about all the dynamics involved. You came from a hard-scrabble past and clawed your way back to self-respect and should be applauded for it. Extend that same courtesy to others.
Yeah, I find these multiple references to “child,” “kid,” and “his parents,” as if he has zero autonomy, very strange! He doesn’t look that young to me, and even if he were under 18, parents aren’t fully responsible.
Pushing to the ground also gets you jail time. But I’ll say it again, there is no god given right that we must all bow down to a TV reporter on a PUBLIC street. Lots of “highly regarded” personalities have proven to be not so deserving. And if you’re gonna sport a 70’s porn star mustache then be prepared for discussion.
Should he get off your lawn too?
According to Spanish custom they should duel in front of City Hall. It’s the only way for them to avenge their honor and would actually make more sense than civil litigation
It’s obviously way past time for parents and schools to bring back corporal punishment.
Would you say a homeless person did nothing wrong if they shoved some on like that on state street?
Ok Boomer
Can’t wait to get that selfie with you next time I see you on the street. See you soon!
Funny enough, Boomers are the ones that pretty much wiped out corporal punishment as being acceptable. So, I guess, thank a Boomer?
What law statute is “violating space” located in?
I used to be a television reporter and people did all kinds of things when I was out in the field. I would never have pushed anyone, I would have dealt with it another way. Probably I and my camera woman/man would have made it verbally clear we weren’t keen on the photo bomb method. BTW, I don’t think anyone in local TV news is of the celebrity status some folks seem to think. Local news isn’t the “big time” and doesn’t equate with being a movie star. Local TV reporters aren’t that highly paid and it is a sometimes difficult and un-glamorous job.
“Photobomb” is a term used for photos, not video. ***** C. J. Ward, Tracy Lehr and The Palm will always be star celebs to me. They’re on-camera news reporters who live/work in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara. The very definition of stellar. Plus random sightings are fun.
Of course not. 😉 I lost it a few times in five to six years in a customer service job, I lost my cool and got snippy. I think I got one written complaint from a customer. Had to be bad to get that. It was an issue on my annual reviews every year, there was training, a plan, future evaluation. All the stuff that should be done for any employee who pops off — like Palminteri did. I did have some issues; I did take some leave one year due to a family member’s illness and surgery. If something like that plays a part in his stress level, JP should do the same. Yes, I know how lucky I was to have such a good job that I had med insurance. But access to leave? That was through lawful family leave. Just state? State and federal? I don’t remember and thank goodness I no longer need to even know. Talk to HR if you have any or search family or personal medical leave california. Just like we need to be informed medical consumers to not be ripped off, the same goes for government benefits that WE’VE PAID INTO.
Mini beast, did you read the story above? “Photo bomb” is the term used in the story. That is not my term, so if you take issue with it guess you need to tell edhat staff. It is your choice if you want to be a fan of someone. I personally think that being a “fan” is demeaning. Especially to be a fan of local news.
Bene: What you would have done has nothing to do with this. As has been the case for a hundred years or more, SB and its environs are filled with mega-celebrities. We are used to seeing the likes of Oprah, Ellen, Striesand, Douglas’s, Reagan’s, Kardashian’s, Julia Child, Katy Perry, Kennedy’s, and on and on. Locals don’t “lose it” when we see these folks, we leave them alone. So, when OUR mega-celebrity The Palm gets accosted by some random kid, of course peeps get upset and are on John’s side. So what if local news reporters are not “big time” or paid all that much, what matters is their character, of which John The Palm has puh-lenty. If you have something against The Palm, that’s your issue, but an attack on him is an attack on all of us.
Great point, you’re so right! The discriminatory behavior of most people in this town, of course in the name of equality, would have people ip in arms if it was hispanic, homeless or a even a real estate agent. But John probably would of posed if it was a real estate agent or a nice tall Swedish woman.
Both where out of line, but the palm did assault the kid and its on tape.
Better watch out or the palm will burn down your house too. ( locals will get the reference)
“Old & washed-up guy” sent modern boy flying!..
Also, old-guy has lots of “high-tech” gadgets too.
Lastly…there’s no replacement for the Palm.
I bet just about every single one of you would react the same way I know I would some idiot just jumped in my face like that…lol
Nice move JP! It’s alarming how many people are calling that little shove assault. Give me a break. No wonder we’re such a litigious society.
What an obnoxious kid. Love JP’s reaction (that face!). This is hilarious.
you all were right, he is indeed an almost-adult “kid.” SB high school student Tyler Lewis, per the Independent.
An attack on him is an attack on all of us……oh please. When you see the mustache don’t you hear……BON CHIKA BOW WOW
Shoving a shameless personal space invading kid…….assault? Ha Ha Ha Ha Kids need a swift reaction to their disrespecting of others personal space with their cameras on. Good job Palminterie!!!
Time to be schooled with legit legal info: “ Although assault laws vary from state to state, in most cases if you intentionally (rather than accidentally) shoved the victim, you can be convicted of assault, whether you intended to injure the victim or not. In other words, it’s the intent to shove, regardless of the intent to cause the resulting injury, that justifies a charge of assault.” And YES thousands of people get arrested for shoving someone. Facts matter.
LOL! JP lost his temper over an obnoxious teenager and decided to put both his hands on him and physically and forcefully push him. Unfortunately for JP that act is legally defined as assault. And it’s on tape. Not looking good for the Palm. I showed my attorney uncle the video and he said if he weren’t retired he would take the case against JP and that he knows of dozens of similar “pushing/shoving” cases won with much less aggressive shoving taking place.
Assault is assault, John Palminteri shouldn’t get a pass because he’s on TV and you like him.
I’ve jumped into John’s shot before but he didn’t shove me, they just edited me out.
I hope the kid sues and wins.
Bebe: Totally agree! And having had a bizarre experience with Palminteri When he was trying to drum up a non-story and being a total JERK about it, he ain’t all that I can tell you.
that looks like a very hard shove! JP is a local celebrety and will thus be having to deal with people aking selfies with him. I bet there are 100’s of such photos taken. Looks like KEYT needs to up the anti and provide a security guard every time JP goes out and about..for his protection and also to protect peole who might think he is a nice, friendly reporter who has posed for many selfie shots. what if the high school student had fallen and hit his head on concrete. This is not OK… guess jp was stressed…but…that was a VIOLENT shove…not cool…. I will make sure I stay very far away from JP…I never have really cottoned on to him anyway. Perhaps it is time for him to retire…
Nothing happened. A kid took a selfie and got shoved out of the way. All this talk of assault is silly. Was the kid injured? No. Was JP hurt? No. These things happen in life and most of us move on without getting worked up.
Get out of here that was not a hard violent shove Hire Me as a news man I’ll show you a hard violent shove…J.P. is in his Prime no on retirement.
“what if the high school student had fallen and hit his head on concrete.” He would have learned what I learned when at five years old I grabbed a pot from the stove….still have he scars….never grabbed a pot from the stove from that time on. The kid made a mistake, and he should be forgiven. Someone mentioned that they have a lawyer relative who knows plenty of lawyers who would…..who would what? Do what they usually do?? LOL?? Bottom line: that kid was taught a serious lesson and won’t creep up on any news reporters al the time to scare the bejesus out of them any time soon.
If you lose you temper and shove someone and they hit their head it’s a bit different from grabbing an inanimate object and getting hurt. Follow that logic? The lesson the high schooler learned is clear. I wonder if JP will end up being forced to learn anything?
Sort of different when you see an adult local celebrity getting physical with a high school kid on video. People shove each other all the time without realizing it’s actually against the law to do so. I think that’s the issue. It’s normalized behavior that most don’t call the police over even though they legally have reason to. So half the folks commenting see nothing wrong an the others see it from the factual legal perspective. Basically everyone is right!
Yep. Little known fact apparently but shoving is considered assault.
Time to be schooled in Legit Legal info? In California that shove could be considered battery. Under California Penal Code Section 242: battery is defined as “any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.” It is important to note that an individual may be charged with battery even if there is no injury. A simple “unwanted or offensive touching of another” is a sufficient degree of behavior upon which a prosecutor can base a charge of battery under the law.
@10:26: I totally agree with you that the kid deserved to be quickly, but gently brushed aside and out of a great angle shot of The Palm. This kid was attempting to deprive us of on-air time with The Palminator, which was a huge mistake. I hope this young man apologizes to Mr. JP, and maybe The Palm will hire him as an intern to perform security on future news-reporting gigs…..wouldn’t that be a great story. The kid would go from goonball loser to hero in nothing flat!
Tough internet guy
Is shoving a microphone in someones face an invasion of personal space? Cause Senior reporter does that all the time.
It’s just too bad “The Palm” used his hands. I imagine there are a few lawyers contacting this kids family now. Nothing like a video to win a case.
The kid was being a jerk and I’m a fan of JP, who was justified in being PO’d, but that does not change the fact that this is legally assault. But hopefully the kid isn’t stupid enough to press charges.
Security form what. Senior reporter is in public, on a public street. There s no god give right that we all have to bow down to TV reporters no matter how bad a moustache they are sporting.
“I think The Palm had every legal right in the world to shove that kid away. ” — Sad for you, because it’s a fact that he doesn’t. If you had said “moral” rather than “legal”, you would have a point. “Not your fault if the fake puncher gets his teeth bashed in and/or clocked on the side of the head with a roundhouse kick.” — you seem remarkably uninformed. Don’t you even watch TV, where both parties in a fight routinely get hauled before a judge? “If it does go to court, I’d like to be on the jury to defend The Palm’s honor” — then you too would be breaking the law, and your oath (hmm, sounds familiar).
So you’re equating a selfie with sexual assault and murder? The dude just wanted a pic, he probably didn’t know they were going live at that moment.
Resentful Angry Guy…
I do feel though…it would have been polite to ask first for a selfie…guess his intent was more about being on live TV. Yes, please and thank you can go a long way….I still feel that was a violent push..JP under the camera gun and unable to improvise. I bet the camera man got some feed back too.. so hard when we eff up in public…
Midair: Do not discount the fact that The Palm, mustache and all, are highly regarded in the community at-large, and also within the ranks of professional news reporters nation wide. He is his own man, a maverick, a rebel, and yes, in these parts, a living legend. Make fun of him at your own peril, but one thing you need to understand is: respect gets respect; disrespect gets you pushed to the ground (and rightfully so). Here’s to The Palm! [Please reply out loud: TO THE PALM!!!]
I am the one that wrote about his dark side and I can tell you I have NO jealousy in regard to JP. I have witnessed his snarky, rude, pushy side first hand thus the reference. Folks basically aren’t getting his inappropriate behavior and are focused on a sub adult behavior instead.
That is hysterical! An attack on him is an attack on all of us?! I think it is mentally healthy to have one’s own identity and reserve loyalty for those we actually know personally. I don’t have anything at all against John. But I really do have something against the imagined closeness people assume with those “in the public eye.” When I was on air I found it nauseating when people would see me on TV and try to call me for dates and or social gatherings–just because they saw me on TV. Their interest in me would have felt more normal if those people actually knew me or talked to me. I’m sure that your deep feelings for John will never be returned.
So, yeah… It’s kinda funny to watch, but how incredibly unprofessional. I this day and age how is this seen as okay and even applauded? I have no issues with JP and have met him several times around town. If I shoved a teenager like that and was filmed on live TV, there would for sure be an issue with that. All you people holding JP’s jock would be totally flaming me.
I wonder if they edited out the part where the kid got up and slapped the stash off of JP’s lip.
Whatever transpired before short of the kid threatening him has nothing to do with the fact that JP acted incredibly unprofessionally. I don’t get all the people thinking just because he has hidden this side of himself well, that he is someone to support. JP is loosing it!
Well, I wasn’t going to bring this up, but I will because people don’t seem to be believing you about the “dark side” you say you have observed. Doesn’t anyone remember the media reports from some years back about an ex-girlfriend saying he abused her physically?
I’m looking at this correctly, you aren’t. The kid was a jerk, and JP reacted unprofessionally and committed (simple, misdemeanor) assault and (simple, misdemeanor) battery as defined by the law.
The reason I cheer when I see this is only partly because I feel some affinity for Mr Palminteri. Mostly it just feels good to see someone literally push back against a self-important, entitled person who seems to think his own selfie is more important than respecting another person’s space. Palminteri may or may not also have an exaggerated sense of his own importance, but the instigator here was the selfie-taker, and selfie-takers are inherently annoying.
You are equating apples and oranges here. This kids behavior has everything to do with his age. He will grow out of this obnoxious behavior as they all do. JP has absolutely NO EXCUSE for loosing his shit like this. The hatred on his face? Disturbing!
Probably happened once too many times to P. Knowing the cameras are about to roll and into the fray hops dufus w/his selfie camera. Don’t blame him one bit.
Love this so much. You’re all looking at this wrong. Every young idiot in this town wants the perfect picture for Instagram or Facebook. Honestly, who really gives a rip. I love that he gets ejected from Johns personal space like getting launched off a trampoline. John 1, young tool = 0
It’s the WAY he was rejected that is at issue. I think everyone here agrees the kid behaved rudely but Palminteri as an adult supposedly has fully developed frontal lobes where the kid does not. JP should have acted like an adult and NOT have put his hands on this kid. His shadow side is in clear view here.
Funny how people who are jealous of John’s success and popularity want to tear him down: Porn mustache, washed-up, dark side, and the “when I/me/me/me/I/myself/me once was a reporter.” It’s plain to see (if you aren’t jealous), that John Palminteri, JP, The Palm, The Mustached One, is beloved by nearly everyone in Santa Barbara and well beyond. He’s a local institution. A local celebrity. His detractors are few and far between, but for some reason fixated on his signature mustache. Jealousy, jealousy, and more unbecoming jealousy coming from those who want to bring The Palm down, and gleefully giggle when he does something out of character. Laugh, bully, and hate his supporters (Palminterians) all you want, but don’t mess with The Palm.
It’s called a teenager. He just hadn’t grown up yet. They are all self important. It’s up to the adults to show them how to be in the world. JP just taught him adults can be self important Jerks too.
“Assault” does not have to be premeditated. Anytime you purposely shove someone it’s considered assault under the law.
The way he pushed the kid away was classic! Double open palm (not to be confused with The Palm) with a slight upward projection, and the kid’s pencil-thin neck slightly warps inward as he is quickly ejected out of the camera shot. Classic E-Jeck-Shun and the crowd goes bonkers for Johnny P for showing his “shadow side.” (ohhhhhhhh noooooo, NOT the the the the shaddddddow side)
He’s a paid professional. It doesn’t matter how many times he has had to deal with it, in fact, it should make him more able to deal with these situations.
All I see in the video clip is John pushing the kid away. I wonder if John had already asked the kid to leave him alone. There might be a backstory that we’re missing.
You can get up now
Funny, it’s beyond my “google fu” to find even a hint of the news I watched and read back then.
And though I’m mostly on Team Palminteri, he should also apologize.
Would a reasonable person assume a person lunging at you with something in their hand was a possible threat? Is is reasonable to act in self-defense? Who was the initiator? Who was the defender? These are the legal questions that will get asked. You don’t have to wait until an attack actually takes place before you then can exercise self-defense. Palminteri was well within a reasonable self-defense reaction mode. Get this aggressive lunging person out of his safety zone. Ironic now that young people are demanding their own safe spaces and the total pre-emptive censorship of potential trigger words who they claim are thought-crime speakers now claim others cannot ask for safe physical space when being immediately and physically threatened. Okay Millennials, explain that one to me. Used to be sticks and stone scan break my bones but names can never hurt me. Now it is names and words can permanently traumatize me, but threatening sticks and stones at another person are okay
I believe a simple public apology from this teen and his parents would go a long way toward smoothing this over. After the apology, maybe John and the kid could then get milkshakes or something like that.
Palminteri lost his cool on this stupid teen. I’m sure he wishes he would’ve handled with a bit more graciousness. He should just acknowledge it was a poor reaction to a rude and immature teenager.
EMINENCE THREAT
you seem to just troll all topics on Edhat, and seem to only post rude, immature and low brow comments. Just an observation…
as for a crime? how is this a crime? perhaps JP could say the kid commited a crime and touched him first and JP had to push the kid away to protect himself and his property. We can look at this in 10 different ways dude. Rule of law? Lol…
you’re just weird dude…lol seriously…
