Actor Mykelti Williamson,of Forrest Gump fame,is arrested for stabbing ex-wife's close friend

[Joe1orbit]

Hello,

Over in California, a rather famous actor named Mykelti Williamson has been
arrested, and he is believed to have stalked his ex-wife, and STABBED a friend
of his wife's, late yesterday. The person he stabbed is in critical condition.
Police say that Mykelti went to his ex-wife's home yesterday, and hid. When he
saw her leave the home to go shopping, he followed her. He then confronted her,
took away her keys, and returned to her home. He went into her home, and
stabbed the person who was inside, with a butcher knife!

Police refuse to say whether the person stabbed was a male or female, But I
think it is legitimate to assume that the stabbed person very possibly is a
lover or other close, intimate friend of Mykelti's ex-wife. After stabbing this
person, and inflicting critical wounds, Mykelti fled from his ex-wife's house.
He did not harm his ex-wife. She called police to report that Myktelki had
confronted her and forcibly taken the keys to her home. Police then tracked
down Myktelki at a different house, after the stabbing occured, and arrested
him.

I guess this guy is a SOMEWHAT famous actor. Best known for his appearance in
Forrest Gump. I did watch Forrest Gump, and have a vague recollection of the
"shrimp farming character" that Mykelti played in that very popular movie. But
I wouldn't classify this actor as being anywhere near the genuine top level of
actors, in terms of name or face recognition by the public.

Regardless, Myktelti is indeed behind bars, and he's better do an Academy
Award winning acting performance to cops and detectives, if he still has hope
of convincing them that he is innocent of this stabbing. The victim, despite
being in critical condition, might very well survive. And if he/she survives,
there is a VERY good chance that Mykelti will be identified as the attacker, by
the victim he stabbed. It sounds as though there are NO other witnesses to the
actual stabbing itself.

Take care, JOE

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Mykelti Williamson, best known as the shrimp-farming friend
of Tom Hanks' character in ``Forrest Gump,'' was arrested for investigation of
stalking his ex-wife and stabbing a friend of hers.

Williamson was being held in lieu of $180,000 bail after the late Monday
incident, Detective Jeff Carnival said today.

The stabbing victim was in critical condition, officials said. Police refused
to give out the name of Williamson's ex-wife or the friend or even say whether
the friend was a man or a woman.

Williamson, 40, played Benjamin Buford ``Bubba'' Blue in ``Forrest Gump'' and
also appeared in ``How to Make an American Quilt,'' ``Waiting to Exhale,''
``Heat'' and ``Con Air.''

He is suspected of waiting outside the woman's home and then following her when
she went shopping, Carnival said. Williamson confronted her, took her keys and
went back to her home, Carnival said.

The friend was stabbed at the woman's home, apparently with a butcher knife,
the detective said.

Williamson was arrested at a residence about 3 miles away, Carnival said.

Hello,

Here is brief & quick update on the stabbing that actor Mykelti Williamson is
accused of having committed yesterday.

Not a lot of additional info, but we do learn that the person Mykelti
stabbed, after grabbed the keys from his ex-wife and entereing her home, was a
32 year old man. This man remains in critical condition, And IMO, the fact that
it was a 32 year old man makes it even more likely that he was indeed a live-in
lover, or a boyfriend, of Cheryl chisholm, the ex-wife that our jealous/enraged
actor had been stalking.

Actor who played Forrest Gump's shrimp-loving pal accused in stabbing

January 6, 1998

LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Mykelti Williamson, best known as the shrimp-farming

friend of Tom Hanks' character in "Forrest Gump,'' was arrested for
investigation of stalking his ex-wife and stabbing a friend of hers.

Williamson was being held in lieu of $180,000 bail after the late Monday
incident, Detective Jeff Carnival said today.

Cheryl Chisholm, the actor's ex-wife, told police Williamson was stalking her
near her residence earlier in the evening, said police spokesman Mike Partain.
The two divorced in 1992.

The stabbing victim, a 32-year-old man, was in critical condition, officials
said. Police refused to say whether he was a boyfriend or just a friend.

Williamson, 40, played Benjamin Buford "Bubba'' Blue in the 1994 blockbuster
"Forrest Gump.'' He also appeared in "How to Make an American Quilt,'' "Waiting

to Exhale,'' "Heat'' and "Con Air.''

Hello,

Here's another brief update on the actor, Mykelti Williamson, who stalked his
ex-wife, and then stabbed her 32 year old boyfriend, critically injuring him.
We learn that Mykelti did save some of his mucho bucks, that he earns as an
actor. Earlier today he came up with the $180,000 bond that the judge had set,
and got himself released from prison. I wonder how his ex-wife feels, knowing
that Mykelti is now a free man, less than 48 hours after stabbed her boyfriend?

Our actor/stalker/stabber told reporters, as he was leaving the prison, the
following: "This has all been a really big misunderstanding and I will be
vindicated." Cool. Now is the time for Mykelti to really flex his acting
muscles. Who knows, he might be able to pull off an OJ acquital for himself.
Sure, he is not as famous or as loved as OJ was/is, but he is a semi-famous
actor. Hopefully he'll able to draw a jury into his charismatic web of postured
innocence and benevolence, and get himself an acquittal.

Right now, he had better try to control himself and not go anywhere near his
ex-wife. Although it is NOT clear whether a restraining order or an order of
protection was issued, forbidding Mykelti from approaching ex-wife Cheryl, or
contacting her in any way. I would certainly think that an order of protection
should have been issued, as soon as it became clear that Mykelti would be able
to come up with the $180,000 bond.

I watch a lot of TV, and plenty of movies, on TV. This is done to amuse
myself and help pass the time, not out of any desire to "develop social
skills", as you put it.

>Good one Joe !

Truth and facts are always "good".

No, that will never happen, because I have never eaten at a sit-down
restaurant, or shared any meal with anyone, in my entire adult life. And my
VOW, made at age 13, means that I will never engage in such an activity, for as
long as I live.

Joe,

How sad . . . you merely "pass time" . . . a "couch potato" ? (sadder, yet) . .
. no fun? (except, of course for your habit of 3-4 times daily masterbation -
by the way, Joe, . . . that does seem rather EXCESSIVE . . . IMO, based on my
societal mores, of course. You're either very young, or work out alot,, I
guess!?). What OTHER things do you do to *amuse*, if I may be so bold as to
inquire?

Anyway, even for someone such as you claim to be, you really need to do more .
. . reading, crosswords, running/ walking (solo activities, of course)cooking,
etc. Hey, have you ever considered a cocktail in the evening, with candles (by
yourself), a walk on the beach, a warm relaxing bath? You really need to get
away from the newspaper/computer/tv. My *society* might say . . . "like,
lighten up, dude. "

P.S. Saw your recent attempt at humor . . . you go, boy!

Fake care, Gypsy

That is what I do, pass time. I have no control or interest in what makes you
sad or happy.

a "couch potato" ? (sadder, yet) .

Actually, I use a stand-up computer workstation.

>. no fun? (except, of course for your habit of 3-4 times daily >masterbation

I derive satisfaction and pleasure from quite a few things in life.

Your opinion is not important to me. I masturbate as often as I feel like
masturbating. On average, I climax 4 times in every 24 hour time period.

> You're either very young, or work out alot,, I

Guess whatever your inferior mind allows/compels you to guess.

> What OTHER things do you do to *amuse*, if I may be so bold as to
>inquire?

I watch TV, listen to a police scanner, shoot guns, fondle guns, clean guns,
load magazines, create foot fetish scrapbooks, write foot fetish stories, stare
at women's feet in public, play video games. All of those things please me, and
make me content.

>Anyway, even for someone such as you claim to be, you really need to do more

Your opinion is irrelevent and meaningless to me.

You do whatever the hell you want to do, and I'll do whatever the hell I want
to do.

> Hey, have you ever considered a cocktail in the evening, with candles

No, I haven't. In fact, in my entire adult life, I have NEVER taken a bath. I
take showers. Only showers. No baths.

> You really need to get
>away from the newspaper/computer/tv.

I don't recall asking for your advice.

> My *society* might say . . . "like,
>lighten up, dude. "

Since I am not a member of your society, what your society might say, is
meaningless to me.

>P.S. Saw your recent attempt at humor . . . you go, boy!

I don't think I made any attempt at humor.

Take care, JOE
