GRAND JURY STEPS UP IN 'MIDGET-BASHING'
New York Post ^ | May 20, 2005 | Zach Haberman

A grand jury made short order of a Brighton Beach man yesterday, indicting him for terrorizing his neighbors — a midget mother and daughter.

The Brooklyn Criminal Court indictment is still sealed, so it's unknown what charges Joseph Izzo, 40, will face.

He was busted last month on hate-crime charges for singing, "Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go," and spewing racial epithets at 3-foot-8 Debra Shea and her 3-foot-6 daughter, Concelean Pegues.

My favorite is to sing "follow the yellow brick road" in a falsetto. My betterhalf jabs me in the ribs to show her displeasure. And, contrary to rumor and innuendo, I have never walked up to a midget and asked where their pot of gold was.

Riddle from a less politically correct era:

Q. When do you slap a midget?
A. When he says, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!"

One of my friend's uncles was a midget. Apparently he did face some harrassment, which is why he carried a revolver with him.

That's a real manly man. Picking on two women not even 4 feet tall. I'll bet he's real terror with kittens.

It's more sick than just what's reported in this article. Apparently the mom had been friends with the 5'8" Izzo for 30 years, and 3 weeks ago he went nuts for some unknown reason. He did actually spray paint a yellow line telling them to follow the yellow brick road. And because the daughter's father is black, he was using some really racial comments. I could post the photo of the mom and daughter, but I don't want to. You can follow this link and scroll down to the 3rd photo if you want.
