Teens' Stripper Supplier Shot in Westchester

Anthony "Cousin Vinny" Agnello was shot during an attempted robbery while escorting strippers to a bachelor party in Sleepy Hollow. Agnello made a name for himself back in 2001 when he supplied strippers for teenagers as young as 15 having a party in Chappaqua. Agnello was not charged, but the parents hosting the football team's party pleaded guilty to child endangerment. Agnello was shot in the thigh Friday when two men tried to steal $100,000 worth of jewelry from him. He has already been released from the hospital.

I love the "child endagerment" charge. Could anyone think of a more pathetic representation of a Nanny State? Yeah, we endangered your "children"....meanwhile, with the unavailability of common-sense sex education and birth control, they'll be 14 year-olds, having unprotected sex, all to a Republican/Christian chorus of see-no-evil/hear-no-evil/my-kid-is-a-Christian-saint. F*ck morality and religion....they obviously don't give a crap about the health and future of their children. Think about that as you look at your "innocent" kids and vote Republican.....

Nah, different Vinny. Probably cousins though...

BTW, that is not 100K around his neck in the photo. More like $20.

Is this the same "Cousin Vinny" that made "a name for himself" a few weeks back offering free footlong subs with every lapdance at his strip club/sandwich bar?

Mott the Hoople

wow. they should have shot the genitalia, right? that would've been kinda poetic. you know? cause of the strippers being there. and him not having cock and balls any more. jeez, crooks are such idiots.

Hey, if you can't wear $100K worth of bling as you're escorting strippers to a bachelor party, when can you wear it.

The article is a little confusing. Was he actually walking around with $100k worth of jewelry.

Sleepy Hollow is a good community, so were these shooters previously aware that he would be carrying that much.

Did the Strippers blab to anyone?
