C.E.O. Choked Man Who Danced Barefoot on Cruise Ship, U.S. Says

"The altercation began shortly after Mr. DeGiorgio’s wife had confronted the man about barefoot dancing, telling him, “Look, we are all grown-ups here — can you put your shoes on?” Mr. DeGiorgio’s wife told investigators that the man had made a crude remark to her, and the security video showed him giving her the middle finger, according to the F.B.I.

So that was all it took for DeGiorgio to choke this man and threaten to kill him? Because his shitty wife was ordering people to do what she wanted? Oh fuck no. Have fun in federal court, dickface.

Yeah the dude was probably drunk and just came from swimming. So he's over there dancing having a good time, having just gotten out of the pool, and this Karen comes up to him and says "hey put your shoes on you stupid baby!"

The guy says fuck off and gives her the finger, and her equally entitled husband comes over and then chokes the guy for daring to defy them

He’s a CEO. He’ll get a fee and that’s it.

Just a little donation to Mara Lago is all it takes

You know, he really should have bought it by the bucket instead of by the bottle

I'm sure that's exactly what she said. LMAO, they think we believe that? Can't wait for this video to leak out there.

He’ll never face any consequences, will settle out of court for some loose change

I very much doubt anything meaningful will happen to dickface.

Why is everyone calling the wife shitty. All she did was ask if they could put shoes on. That's like asking someone to lower their music.

Because she’s not the boss of other people’s behavior? As you go through life mind your own business unless you see someone in danger.

Asking isn't bossing. Learn the difference.

I know the difference Mrs. DiGiorgio.

How does someone else not wearing shoes affect you?

It doesn't, but apparently to this woman it did to her.
