He never got his pizza, just a broken nose. And a concussion. And a chipped tooth.

All because someone cut in front of him while he waited in line.

On Wednesday, his assailant got his: four years in prison.

In less than an hour, jurors found Mark Jones, 35, of Akron guilty of felonious assault for delivering a startling beating vividly captured on videotape.

The beating took place while several male customers stood watching and waiting for food.

The images of the beating were shown to jurors, causing gasps in the courtroom. Some female jurors covered their mouths while watching Jones pummel his defenseless victim.

"That tape is so horrifying, it haunted me," assistant Summit County prosecutor Holly Reese said after the verdict. "I can't imagine the impact on people not in this line of work who are seeing it for the first time."

It all started last July 31 when Joseph Scarpino, 28, was waiting in a crowded line at the DaVinci's Pizza on South Main Street in downtown Akron.

At about 2:30 a.m., Jones' girlfriend, Prestina Sims, walked in and marched to the front of the line.

Scarpino mumbled something into his cell phone, telling his fiancee that their pizza may now take a little longer. The comment infuriated Sims, who confronted Scarpino.

The shop surveillance tape shows Scarpino trying to ignore Sims as she calls him every name in the book. When a manager tried to intervene and ask Sims to leave, she greeted him with a spit of saliva.

Sims, 31, then went outside and came back with Jones, a hulking 6-foot-4, 295-pound ex-con. She flicked Scarpino's cheek and told Jones: "Take care of this white mother (expletive)," the victim told jurors.

Jones then cold-cocked Scarpino repeatedly, landing at least seven uninterrupted blows. Scarpino went down, but the fight wasn't over. Jones lifted and dragged his body, searching for a cell phone he dropped.

The tape shows several men waiting in the pizza parlor, all of whom failed to stop the fight or aid Scarpino. One man remained at the counter, handling his money as he waited for pizza.

In minutes, police arrived after the manager called 911 and Jones and Sims were arrested outside.

Scarpino was treated at Akron General Hospital for his injuries.

"I felt like I was hit by a truck," Scarpino testified.

Defense attorney Annette Powers tried to downplay the beating in an effort to have Jones convicted of a lesser offense of assault. She pointed out that Scarpino's injuries did not require stitches or prescription pain medicine.

Powers also said that Scarpino made a racial remark about Sims as she cut in line, a move that spurred the argument. No other witnesses supported Sims' claim.

Jones took the stand and told the jury he was acting in defense of Sims, who he felt was about to be struck by Scarpino, who is 6-foot-2 and weighs 220 pounds.

Sims is also charged with felonious assault. She is to go on trial March 16.

Okay, now just think about this for just a second.


I think that it was a horrifying display of cowardice that these people stood around watching this insane bout of unwarrented aggression. But I think that the anger I'm seeing toward them is a little overzealous.

Did you see the friggin SIZE of that behemoth.

You're obviously not going to reason with that animal.

And there was not one single solitary person in that line who appeared to be a 'man of action', so to speak.


They looked to be exactly the type of lotus-eating cowards that they turned out to be in reality. And using that as a baseline, I can only come to the conclusion that all that would have happened differently if one had stepped in, is that one more person would have gotten their asses sent to the hospital.


Now, put yourself there.

Would you have stepped in? I would like to think I would - but at the end of the day, I'm not sure that I would have. I definitely would have for a friend or family - but I'm not so sure about a stranger... Surely, I would sleep better at night if I did, but who really knows for sure until I'm there?




What I find really find despicable is that this raging sociopath is going to be released on society in a mere four years. And his b¡tch girlfriend too, who also needs to be euthanized for the benefit of mankind.

Her name is Prestina.

It's amazing what happens to a behemoth when you stick you index finger into his eye up to your knuckle.

Sorry - just watched the video and those guys who stood there like buttheads should get the death penalty. (Or at least have their voting rights taken away)

You don't just stand there like an idiot and watch someone get the crap beat out of them - you just don't. When I read Tox's assessment, I was expecting the onlookers to be these skinny CPA types - but these were beefy dudes and obviously no strangers to fights themselves. They could have easily ganged up on this animal and taken him down. Chicken crap rednecks.

And that pig of a woman - people like this should be able to be shot on sight. No trial, no lawyer bullcrap - just put them down like you would a rabid dog.

And I'd love to catch this bad lady in a pizza parlor and kick her ass in for her.

My feng shui is off today and I'm feeling a little testy.

Boy - look at all the cusswords in that post. Must fix...

Jones and Sims should both be sentenced to four years of liposuction.

The problem here is that an ex-con gorilla, possibly hopped up on 'caine or PDP, was whaling on a white dude. Who would really have stepped in on this? Too bad Akron doesn't allow concealed carry.

Hard to say unless you're there, I guess. I would like to think I'd have landed a few on "Pristina's" face though ... before she went out front and brought her sisters in to kick my ass.

white people are so scared of black people.​

they bulldoze out to the country,​

and put up houses on little loop-d-loop streets.​

and while america gets its heart cut right out of its chest,​

the berlin wall still runs down main street separating east side from west.​

and nothing is stirring, not even a mouse,​

in the boarded up stores and the broken down houses,​

so they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps​

just to prove they got no manners, no mercy, and no sense.​

and i wonder then what it will take for my city to rise.​

first we admit our mistakes and then we open our eyes.​

the ghost of old buildings are haunting parking lots​

in the city of good neighbors that history forgot.​

i remember the first time i saw someone lying on the cold street,​

i thought, "i can't just walk past you, this can't just be true."​

but i learned by example to just keep moving my feet.​

it's amazing the things that we all learn to do.​

so we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter,​

serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water​

and the old farmroad's a four-lane that leads to the mall​

and my dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall,​

and i wonder then what it will take for my country to rise.​

first we admit our mistakes and then we open our eyes.​

'til nation's last taker succumbs to one last dumb decision​

and america the beautiful is just one big subdivision.​

WOW! That's bad! The video didn't even show me all the blows that guy suffered. People are losing touch. It truely is a mad, mad world.

Selective breeding??

times haven't changed much......... you'd think they would've

34 years ago, my youngest brother got beaten to a pulp by at least 6 other boys, on a sidewalk, in a shopping center (across from our HS) in front of dozens of adults. The bozo's that beat him literally walked all over him after they beat him down to the cement. His clothes were tore up from it. It took weeks for him to mend.

Did anyone come to his aid? no.

society sucks.................

Bah - they looked like a bunch of fat slouches to me.

They could have easily ganged up on this animal and taken him down. Chicken crap rednecks.

I agree with you to a point. I don't think they could have easily taken him down. Dude is 300 pounds if he's an ounce, and at least 6'3" - and he's quite obviously in a berserk state. Perhaps they could have taken Mr. Rage down. They most definitely should have at least tried.


But put yourself in there. You want to help. You know you should help:
But can you count on the people around you to join in and help you - because you KNOW that if you go in there by yourself, you're going to get the crap kicked out of you.



So yeah - I think the people in that crowd are a bunch of weenie-cowards, but I still think the rage I see directed at them in this thread is overmuch.

A friend of mine from high school was on a date and was beaten up for being with a "pretty white girl". They didn't even rob him. Plus, they took a few whacks on his date. UNBELIEVABLE!! These big crazy inner city punks beat both of them up for no reason at all and that was more than 15 years ago!! I think I would rather stay the hell home!!
