In one corner, you have the various tombstones for loved ones at Washington Cemetery. In the other corner, you have the cemetery's 80 year old caretaker James Scott who just needed to go. Itomor Khaimov noticed the caretaker peeing in his grandmother's grave's vase at the Bensonhurst grave site. When Khaimov demanded, "What the f--- are you going?" Scott replied, "I'm urinating" and kept peeing! Khaimov spoke to the Post:
"I started to cry and scream, 'Do you realize this is my grandmother's grave?' " Khaimov recounted. "He said, 'I'm an old man, I can't hold it.' "Police arrested and charged Scott with second-degree assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon. But notice, no summons for the public peeing!Scott told Khaimov to "get out of there" but there was no stopping the grandson.
As Khaimov confronted him, Scott swung at him with the rake, hitting him on the head and causing a mild concussion, according to police sources.
"He took a big swing like he was holding bat - he was really pissed off," said Khaimov. The young man went to nearby Maimonides Hospital where he was treated and released after the Nov. 1 incident. Then he called 911.
"This is supposed to be a calm place, a place for them to rest," said Khaimov.
Khaimov claims that the cemetery tried to bribe him with a key and cleaning of his grandmother's grave if he didn't press charges, but Khaimov wanted to prove a point, saying, "It's really hurtful - my grandmother didn't deserve this." Maybe the cemetery needs to make sure their employees have adequate facilities. Can you imagine how many times this has been done before?
And Khaimov, who is 28, hasn't been back, because he's afraid Scott will attack him again.

Well, dead people are more important than living people, after all.
Sounds like fiction to me, and coming from the Post, that doesn't surprise me.
The coincidence of the caretaker urinating at any random grave, which was going to be visited at the same time seems improbable.
Also, if the victim of the assault was placed in doctor's care afterwards, the hospital is OBLIGATED to inform the police of the alleged crime, making the following 911 call unnecessary Albeit, the call alone is idiotic since there is no emergency anymore since it's after the fact. You call the police to report a crime.
Graves suck. Build more condo-ops over them and then let the bodies and souls come back to haunt the yuppies who buy them.
dude got beat by an 80 year old man- damn.

And to make matters worse, he's afraid to go back to the cemetery because Grandpa might be there. What a sissy!
"yuppies who buy them"??? Doesn't the 'Y' in Yuppies stand for Young? With a few exceptions, aren't most people rather old when they die?
jews are not suppposed to have photos on their grave stones.
Hurry...someone call the authorities...dead people are breaking the law!!
Of course Jewish people can have photos on their headstones.
I haven't been up to anything today. I can't be bothered with anything recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven't gotten anything done recently, but oh well. Not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning.
I just don't have anything to say right now. I haven't been up to anything recently, but it's not important. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen, but shrug.
I just don't have much to say these days, but so it goes. Today was a total loss. I guess it doesn't bother me.
