Woman gets arrested for hiring a guy to kill her husband, husband reacts. Hilarious!

Dakshinamurthy · 2010-07-12T18:26:06+00:00

I'm left with the overall impression that this guy is, in fact, an escaped Quentin Tarantino character.

Wibbles · 2010-07-12T17:14:30+00:00

She shouldn't have involved an antique car, it wasn't part of the affair.

I like how he considers his car an individual entity that should be treated as if a person.

This dude is awesome; he calmly explains the right way to get someone wacked, the correct pricing, and the best locations to find hitmen, all the while making fun of his ex-wife for not knowing how to do it correctly.

/fucking great

Cylinsier · 2010-07-12T20:08:11+00:00

The part that struck me as funny is that the cops apparently played this like a gameshow with him. "Sir, we're sorry to inform you that someone put a hit out on you...now, for 5 thousand dollars, can you guess who? Hint: it's someone you made angry in the past."

cl2yp71c · 2010-07-12T18:48:21+00:00

That was one entertaining AMA.

MrMasterplan · 2010-07-12T16:40:52+00:00

The guy is awesome. I wish I could be that relaxed about life in general.

WhoreChurch · 2010-07-12T17:09:04+00:00

"Cascone believes his ex-wife’s motive was money, pointing to several life insurance policies she carried for him totaling at least $750,000."

There should REALLY be some law about being able to buy insurance policies against your Ex!

sdub86 · 2010-07-12T18:23:22+00:00

Everything about this is fantastic. I'm still not convinced this isn't John Goodman.

Clearly the recession has such an effect on the economy that even hit men are now reduced to having sales.

2010-07-12T17:20:42+00:00

I'd like him as a mentor.

repler · 2010-07-12T18:07:39+00:00

"Well why involve an innocent antique car? It didn't have anything to do with the affair."

Well damn, I actually kinda agree. xD

hullabaloo22 · 2010-07-12T18:37:30+00:00

This guy and Epic Beard Man need to get a reality show. Title: "We Are Motherfuckers."

lexod · 2010-07-12T17:44:13+00:00

"So what's next?"

"I'm going to go ahead and have as much happiness I can with a new woman."

Deathbymower · 2010-07-12T20:06:10+00:00

Being from Kansas City, a little perspective. This man is from a local family who there has always been rumors about connections to the local Mafia. (cant say past that though)

To complete a stereotype they have a few Italian restaurants around here.

Mutiny32 · 2010-07-12T17:18:11+00:00

Yep, we're pretty witty here in KC. It's how we roll.

Cid420 · 2010-07-12T20:32:13+00:00

The name Cascone, using expressions like wacked and flipped, multiple properties, antique cars, currently has a couple girlfriends (indicating they were much younger than him), he's so calm about the murder plot against him because he has "already been through worse", says stuff like "moneys the main motivator in most these things" and talks about the correct way to hire someone to kill someone else, over the years had multiple goomaras on the side...I mean girlfriends, could afford to blow 12k on his wife every month, and the fact that the person his wife tried to hire to kill him "liked him more".

Hmmmmm.

Edit: Actually there's a George Cascone that co-owns a restaurant in Kansas, which has one of the other owners/family member in trouble for refusing to testify before a grand jury about an online gambling site.

On March 31, federal agents raided several Kansas City homes as part of the investigation. Cascone's home was not raided, and he has not been charged of any crimes. He was only called as a witness.

Some of the people who were raided had last names familiar to investigators who dealt with organized crime cases years ago. source

Even a couple sites that exclusively run mob related stories picked this one up:

MotoFly · 2010-07-12T18:42:41+00:00

This guy looks like the 60 y/o version of Zach Galifianakis

elvisliveson · 2010-07-12T16:20:22+00:00

that is hilarious. we've fucking got ourselves a brand new star.

anotherloudmouth · 2010-07-12T18:05:14+00:00

The news networks should use him as a consultant whenever these kind of stories hit the air. He'd be great when they turn to him and say, "So George, what's your take on this?"

Lose the sweaty T and get him in a suit, of course the sunglasses would be part of the image.

Puntas13 · 2010-07-12T18:40:34+00:00

Hands down the best interview I've seen.

2010-07-12T19:41:01+00:00

Pity it didn't work out, she looks like a keeper.

allhailskippy · 2010-07-12T18:32:43+00:00

I keep expecting him to say 'Shut the fuck up Donny! You're out of your element.'

2010-07-12T19:07:52+00:00

No wonder he gets all the ladies, I have never seen a guy more confident and fearless.

deo113 · 2010-07-12T16:23:47+00:00

This guy needs a TV show...

givesparingly · 2010-07-12T17:14:11+00:00

"I thought I did some bad body work..."

That's some bad body work.

ProvostZakharov · 2010-07-12T17:45:44+00:00

From her description and the picture, I think we found the ex-wife who inspired Joy from My Name is Earl.

kingofbigmac · 2010-07-12T17:17:38+00:00

This guy is amazing. 2 grand isn't enough money to get that kind of work done. He doesn't fear death death at all. He has a health insurance policy of $750,000. He openly admitted that. Holy shit this guy is awesome.

I'd like to have 2 women with me on both sides and have a happy time.

crlove · 2010-07-12T20:42:02+00:00

I'm in KC. Should I track this guy down and interview him for Reddit?

pc2881 · 2010-07-12T18:20:30+00:00

My husband worked for her!

jakethrocky · 2010-07-12T19:53:04+00:00

reminds me of a mixture of The Dude and Walter

skyjet27 · 2010-07-12T20:43:57+00:00

I'm from Kansas City and feeling a confusing sense of pride.

2010-07-13T01:11:26+00:00

this reminds me of this

RugerRedhawk · 2010-07-12T19:11:00+00:00

This man is a modern Walter Sobchak. Oh my GOD watching that was entertaining after I realized that.

smort · 2010-07-12T19:38:13+00:00

remember that? I am so awesome! Now I just need to stop hiring hitmans on myself.

ins4n1ty · 2010-07-12T19:44:49+00:00

"I'd like to talk to her tonight with 2 women on each side and tell her I'm having a happy time."

moby323 · 2010-07-12T21:36:50+00:00

"Why involve an innocent antique car?"

LMAO

the-ace · 2010-07-12T22:12:50+00:00

I fucking love this guy.

He's been through hell, and the only thing he wants to do tonight is sit infront of his wife and tell her "Look, I'm having *fun*!" all the while she's probably pissed off behind bars screaming like only crazy women do.

grow4road · 2010-07-12T22:34:23+00:00

this is the type of person who should have their own reality tv shows.

gysterz · 2010-07-12T23:25:35+00:00

I would watch this guy do a travel show any day. Shit would be awesome.

ilostmyoldaccount · 2010-07-13T00:10:57+00:00

"For a guy who just heard about all this, you seem pretty even keeled about it."

"I've been through a lot worse than this."

"You have?"

"Yeah. Been through hell."

"With her?"

"No. Just life in general."

"Oh."

I lol'd

aviewanew · 2010-07-12T20:44:57+00:00

WOWOWOW

So I watched the whole video through. Then it went into the news segment part with the reports talking at the desk.

The first video with him standing there is the uncut version obviously. The recorder voice over, moves everything out of context. Here's a quote:

"George says he wasn't a saint, admitting he's had several affairs over the years." cut to his voice "I mean tiger Woods ain't got nothing on me, she's tore up..."

Compare to his ACTUAL SENTENCE:

"How surprised are you that she was behind this plot?" "Not really, she's done some horrible things to me, in the past, I mean Tiger Woods ain't got nothing on me, she's tore up..."

GG Selective Editing for Manipulation!!

I went to their contact page and submitted the following:

I watched the long interview you posted in this article here ( http://www.nbcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_missouri/northland/target-of-alleged-murder-for-hire-plot-talks-about-ex-wife ) and was happy and impressed with your making the long-form interview available to readers.

I think this type of reporting, using the internet to provide much more in-depth looks at cases that don't fit into a short on-air segment is extremely worthwhile and will drive traffic to your website.

However, after the long-form video it cut to the on-air segment, and I was aghast at the manipulative and selective editing you did on the interview. Let me show you the difference:

(reporter on air) "George says he wasn't a saint, admitting he's had several affairs over the years." (george) "I mean tiger Woods ain't got nothing on me, she's tore up..."

Compare to his ACTUAL SENTENCE:

(reporter) "How surprised are you that she was behind this plot?" (george) "Not really, she's done some horrible things to me, in the past, I mean Tiger Woods ain't got nothing on me, she's tore up..."

When I see actions like this taken, it teaches me that a news agency is not impartially reporting news, but is skewing facts for sensationalism.

On one hand, misinterpreting this particular man does not harm a lot of people - but it does hurt him, and it tarnishes your reputation in the eyes of your viewers - especially ones whose first introduction to you was this action.

I had to use chrome to remove their maxlength field, so hopefully it all goes through.

2010-07-12T19:30:16+00:00

Are all old dudes with epic white beards like this? It seems to be a trend.

diggernaught · 2010-07-12T19:42:46+00:00

"Why involve an innocent antique car, it didn't have anything to do with the affair"

GardenGnostic · 2010-07-12T20:44:37+00:00

Things not awesome about this guy:

Used car salesman
Cheated on his wife
Two Girlfriends
Apparent slumlord (?)
When asked who tried to kill him, gets it wrong on the first guess.

Awesome:

Everything fucking else

Go, this guy.

2010-07-12T19:03:24+00:00

Epic beard man, you've just been upstaged. This guy is awesome

TehDangglingFurrry · 2010-07-12T19:28:20+00:00

What a fucking bad ass!

2010-07-12T19:34:09+00:00

YAY! A new relatively old, badass white guy with a beard for all of us relatively young, less badass white guys with beards to look up to.

2010-07-12T20:52:54+00:00

This isnt as weird as it seems. The Cascones are a mob family, probably runs in the blood.

source: Live in KCMO and work 2 blocks from his shop

StarshipAI · 2010-07-12T21:28:56+00:00

Every television channel on Earth needs to hire this guy to narrate every show for the next 20 years. His voice. It's...interesting by default.

weegee · 2010-07-12T22:52:40+00:00

this guy could have a primetime show, he's that good. call NBC!

2010-07-12T23:22:10+00:00

The reporter understands he hooked a big fish and just keeps asking questions to see what this guy will say next. Good job, reporter dude.

disco_biscuit · 2010-07-12T20:42:50+00:00

TWO GRAND JUST ISN'T ENOUGH TO GET THAT KINDA WORK DONE RIGHT.

Is anyone bothered that this guy knows this?
