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.
This man is not a true American, as there is no such thing as a “too cheesey” grilled cheese.
Lotta people are saying he wasn’t even born here. All I’m asking is if he IS a real American, why haven’t we seen his birth certificate? Just asking questions here…
Tucker Carlson: “Many people are saying he isn’t an actual American. If not, who is he? Is he a Russian spy? And if so would he like to come over to my home to discuss Putin’s dreamy eyes and masculine physique? I am just asking questions here.”

JAQing off in public
I’m lactose intollerant and even I can confirm this.
Yes, with a nice bowl of tomato soup.
The problem actually lies in the “cheese” slices. THEY AREN’T CHEESE .
I’d be pretty irate if I got served that stuff in a cafe.
RedNile (or BlueNile?!) disagrees with you
I mean they’re not pure cheese but they definitely contain real cheese. As fun as it was watching Nile Blue mess around, the recipe to make fancy versions of American cheese with fancy cheese (that is practical to do at home) has been known for a long time.
Why are they so jokey about it? Ripping phones off the wall because you’re disappointed in dinner is not healthy normal behavior, but it is also not NEW behavior. I’m disappointed. just because the food in question allows for more humor doesn’t make that situation any less terrifying or traumatic for the wife of daughter. And that would have been their daily lives. I know we are laughing at him but it also diminishes how awful he is. Within a few days, few people, few copycat articles and eventually the only thing many will remember is the joke “haha he got upset when his grilled cheese was too cheesy!!” It’ll be like the hot coffee lawsuit
And this man is given a platform. And you know what is terrifying? They don’t give a fuck. There is no way fox didn’t know, and they weren’t scared of any real blowback. Because reality is people dont care enough about abuse for it to be a problem.
The mundane nature of the offense actually makes it more terrifying. My final night of marriage, he raged because I was too morning sick to go out as planned and leave the house to him. It didn’t stop him from doing what he wanted, I was just going to go to bed after feeding my toddler.
It’s so mundane an offense, that you feel stupid telling anyone. Even having lived through it, sometimes I have a hard time believing it.
One time he almost drove us off the freeway because I knew more about genetics than he did. I had a degree relating to the field and he had once watched a documentary on it.
And he raged because I hung up the phone when he got home. He was convinced my friend Jackie was actually Jack (names changed) and accused me of cheating. He knew I talked to Jackie at least once per week because we were working on a project together.
There was a Microsoft profile picture named Jack that he was convinced was the man I was cheating on him with. I couldn’t convince him otherwise, even after showing him it was in a file with other profile pics. He got a secret vasectomy to try to catch me cheating.
Spoiler: I was not cheating. I didn’t get pregnant again until he got a reversal. Guess who was cheating and gave me an STI?
They really don’t care. They either can’t afford to realize their sycophants are abusers because then they’d have to take a hard look at their own beliefs, or they think being abusive is a feature, not a bug.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard about someone being accused of cheating where the accuser wasn’t cheating.
Nobody goes straight to call 911 like that without a reason, and the fact he yanked the goddamn cord out of the wall shows trying to call was justified. That poor fucking kid must have been terrified to take the initiative to call on her own.
How the hell can a grilled cheese sandwich be too cheesy? Was it just cheese? Like no bread, but just cheese? Because even that doesn’t seem like too much cheese to me.
Ultimate Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
2 lb block of cheese
2 slices of white bread (optional)… consume
No. Two pieces of thick cut texas toast, fried one side each in the fat of two pieces of bacon, which are then inserted with jalapenos and a lot real good swiss type cheese, the fried sides to the inside, and fried till done both sides. Also paint the bread with mayonnaise and garlic before you start, both sides.
I was about to double down on my smart ass remark but that actually does sound good
Oh it is. People pay me 15 for them.
[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.

That’s called BEING A GOOD PARENT. REAL Abuse is when you LOVE and ACCEPT Queer kids!
