A man wanted just two slices of cheese on his sandwich, so when his wife used three slices in his grilled cheese sandwich, he became irate.

Angered at the sight of all the extra cheesiness, James DePaola became agitated and violent, yelling at the woman, Michele DePaola. According to WSB-TV, DePaola then ripped the landline out of the wall so his wife couldn’t call the police and reportedly screamed at her intensely. The couple’s 12-year old daughter who witnessed the incident called the police to the scene, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

James DePaola was charged with obstruction of a 911 call and criminal trespass/damage to property over what the police now refer to as “the grilled cheese incident”. DePaola has a history of “abusive behavior,” and was often “excessively critical and controlling of day to day things in life” like sandwiches, apparently.

[Fox host] Watters did not disclose, however, that Lee is actually James DePaola, who has had multiple run-ins with the law himself, including when he became violent over a grilled cheese sandwich his wife had made, prompting his 12-year-old daughter to call the police.

This vile, despicable POS is actually being presented by Fox as an authority and being interviewed about crime. This is what Fox and the GQP considers the best of us.

They basically say that Jesse Waters is their Jon Stewart, I was describing a Jordan Kleper bit for my conservative father and he was like "yeah that's just like what Jesse Waters does" my reply was "yeah except that Jordan Kleper is actually funny and not an absolute piece of shit."

Can you imagine Jon Stewart having a cretin with a history of domestic abuse on to get his opinion about any subject? Me neither.

Well he does sound like an authority on crime. Committing them.

There is that.

No one remembers Chris Simcox, of the anti-immigrant hate group called the Minutemen.

He is serving an effective life sentence for repeatedly raping his own child. When he got Fox news famous there were already accusations against him from his multiple ex-wifes.

He planned to represent himself and cross his own daughter in the stand and they had to change the procedures in his state just for him.
