Damn I’m Cute’s Douchebag of the Week!!!
Yes I know, it’s Tuesday- but we already have our douchebag of the week/weekend.
Let me introduce the great golf-playerJack Nicklaus’ alleged grandson: Beruch Zegeye. This 17-year-old douchebag attends Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida. Shocking ey? Anyways, the rich bitch is accused of killing a motorist in a DUI crash on Sept. 13. Before he murdered the motorcyclist, he was on his gramps boat that had booze and drugs!
So Beruch decides to party it up ont he boat with a bunch of bros and hoes. Then he’s like eff this shit, I’m going to drive daddy’s porsche around and act like a complete lunatic. And when on the road he rams into the back of a pizza deliveryman’s economy car causing a motorcyclist to go through a windshield.
His bail is $200,000. I bet the dumb f*** is already out however we should cross our fingers that he gets life in jail.
Whether somoene has a million dollars or someone has one dollar- there is absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS in manslaughter.
Update: The person who died was NOT on a motorcycle, he was driving the car. His name was
Paul Krommendyk.
Police said Paul Krommendyk was stopped at a red light at the intersection of PGA Boulevard and Prosperity Farms Road in Palm Beach Gardens on Saturday night when 17-year-old Beruch Zegeye slammed into the back of his car.
Police said Zegeye was driving his Porsche at about 80 mph in a 45 mph zone. Paul Krommendyk, whose car was then pushed into a third vehicle, died instantly. ( Thanks Jay & Palm Beach Post)
Uhm, and what is really fishy is how Beruch was released on $50,000 bond AND he’s allowed to go to school, church, and the doctor’s wearing an ankle bracelet. Bull shit. Palm Beach County’s law enforcement obviously doesn’t care much about deaths caused by wreckless teenagers.

The douchebag in question is not related to Jack Nicklaus. The man who was killed was not on a motorcycle he was the pizza delivery man in the econmomy car.
September 23rd, 2008 at 4:58 pm
My Bad Jay, thanks for pointing that out. I just re-checked the news and they were more specific this time. Thanks again.
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Pardon me while I correct your false, poorly written, and absurd “article.”
Let me fist start by pointing out that Beruh Zegeye is NOT the grandson of Jack Nicklaus. Judging by your obscenely poor grammar I understand that you might not be literate enough to read the newspaper or a website, so I will cut you some slack, bro. But I must warn you that such accusations in the written form are considered libel and is punishable by up to 1 year and jail and a $1,000 fine.
Secondly, you should credit Jose Lambiet, for using using his “economy car” NS “daddy’s Porsche” line.
Beruch Zegey is REQUIRED to attend school, no longer his past school, he is allowed to go to church, which is a right that no one can take away, and allowed to go to the doctor simply because you cannot leave a 17 year old kid alone to diagnose himself.
Once again I must point out another one of your incorrect “facts.” THERE WERE NO DRUGS ON THE BOAT!
Following up on your last comment about Palm Beach County law enforcement not caring, I must inform you that it is the judicial system that sets punishments, and not the police.
Finally, after reading your article and absorbing the absolute bs that you wrote, and although you are not a celebrity, I would like to conclude by officially naming YOU as “THE DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK/WEEKEND!!!”
September 23rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
a pretty easy solution: NAIL HIM!!
September 24th, 2008 at 9:16 am
First of all….If you are going to drag someones name through the dirt, you migh as well have your facts straight: Beruch Zegeye is not Jack Nicklaus’ grandson, but instead is a schoolmate of Billy O’leary who IS Jack Nicklaus’ grandson. They were on one fo Nicklaus’ boats earlier in the day, and then went to a house party, where this kid took it upon himself to leave and then get in a high speed accident….all of this is unrelated to Nicklaus! The real douchebag of the week should be the idiot that can’t get his facts right before he opens his mouth and tarnishes someone elses name INMHFO!
September 25th, 2008 at 5:31 pm
First off, your article is the most falsely stated and absurd article I have EVER read, shocking ey?. All of your facts are completely wrong, starting with the title!! Ask yourself this one question? How is it that Jack Nicklaus has any black children with the last name Zegeye when his only daughter’s last name is O’leary and she is married to a white man? You are an idiot and should think before you write articles. A motorcyclist was even involved in the crash, let alone go through the windshield! There were NO drugs on the boat and if you are wishing life on any 17 year old boy who made a mistake than you are a sick person, which we already know. Maybe you can join him for a year like Speak The Truth said? Whose the douche bag now?
P.S. if you knew ANYTHING, which you don’t, then you would be fully aware that you only pay a certain percent of your bail… not the whole thing.
September 25th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Well, apparently you are all friends of him
by “you”, I mean posts #3-6.
Let’s start off with the fact that you people didn’t even acknowledge that your friend killed somebody. If any of you are Christian, well you know where I am going. He SHOULD go to church, drop him that info next time you see him on the streets pretending to be Speed Racer.
Another point I want to pull, the enlighteded, self proclaimed “Speaker of Truth” should watch his threats, for they could be hypocritical. This is a public forum, blog if you wish. What else is a blog? Social networking. Social networking = Myspace and Facebook. Seeing how you knew how to post on this, you should have some prior experience, maybe commenting perhaps?
The point is, the percent of you having never slammed somebody on a PUBLICLY VIEWABLE wall is extremely small. So you could be sued for Libel as well, mon amí.
And another thing you should get used to doing, if you ever wish to pursue a degree in law. Look closely at the article, more specifically this sentence:
“Let me introduce the great golf-player Jack Nicklaus’ alleged grandson:”
If you still haven’t found the writer’s safeguard, look at this word: “alleged”
shows uncertainty on the writer’s part, and that this information was found somewhere else, henceforth clearing said writer from charges…hopefully you learned something from this to use on FB and MYSP
September 29th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Man I was friends with this kid when he used to go to my school when he lived in Potomac, MD. Its fucked up what he did, and I feel bad for all three involved.
October 14th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Ummm Plato, and all you other none knowledgeable losers No one cares!!!! And yes Beruch is my “FRIEND” and dearest cousin. First of all, he didn’t go out with the intention of killing someone…And our family in Christian correction: Ethiopian Orthodox so thanks, for you’re concern. So don’t judge him by our families success, he made a mistake, shit happens life goes on… And just because you read “Law for Dummies” doesn’t mean you have frightened anyone. Enjoy you’re day!!!
October 14th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Didn’t intend on frightening anybody, just letting you know young people (I’m 16), like Me, can be very aware of our surroundings. You are right, Mr. Me, shyt does happen, and I’m glad we share a faith-to an extent, for I am Roman Catholic. And there is no need to for mockery, I don’t have time to read “Law for Dummies” when I’m studying physics and calc all day.
Oh, i would like to congratulate you on your families success, may you bask in it gaily.
October 15th, 2008 at 12:21 am
And I’m happy that you’re an aware young fella. I’m sure you never mistakes. And no one is mocking you…. Bad judgment was made and he feels extremly bad, we’re not going to sit and throw stones at the kid, becuase in the end he is still a ‘KID’ I myself am a Med School Student ‘Ms.’ and I wish you all the luck with you’re studies and what not, and THANKYOU I sure will continue to bask in my families success, and soon my own!!!! So stop judging you don’t know him.
October 15th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I am sorry to have given the impression that I have judged him, but I really cannot judge him without knowing him. And that’s that.
Also, good luck in your pursuit of a Ph.d(?) in a medicinal career. May you gaily bask in your own success soon.
October 16th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Judging murder is okay with me. Even if I don’t know the person. And the jury doesn’t know Beruch either.
October 18th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Me wrote, “Bad judgment was made and he (Zegeye) feels extremly bad, we’re not going to sit and throw stones at the kid, becuase in the end he is still a ‘KID’” …well Zegeye may genuinely feel really bad, and he used really bad judgement, but bottom line, the vicitm will still be dead no matter how bad this “Kid” feels… It wasn’t just a “mistake”, it was vehicular homicide… If one is old enough to take on the responsibilty of driving, one is adult enough to bear responsibility for becoming an impaired driver and KILLING someone by crushing them to death with a car/ being so messed up that Zegeye couldn’t even be bothered to brake/ was going 79 mph, and then had the audacity to tell the cops at the scene that the two stopped cars at the red light “pulled in front of him” at the last moment…. And his buddies at the school who are so quick to say it’s not their fault, well, somewhere along the line, a culture of “it’s ok to party and let others drive drunk” must have been allowed to fester, helping this “kid” make his “bad decisions” and allowing him to drive…sorry but I am not going to feel sorry for Zegeye…Paul is dead for ever…feel sorry for him and those who loved him… I am not judging Mr. Zegeye’s worth as a human being, but rather his actions, which are pretty easy to judge….By his negligence, he murdered someone with a car, even if he “didn’t mean to”…shit doesn’t “just happen”, life does “not go on” for the vicitm…Mr. Zegeye put himself in a postition for it to happen/ made it happen by spending the day illegally partying.. so it doesn’t matter if I know “the Kid” or not, he may be a fine person otherwise, but he does deserve to be judged (and punished) for his actions…
October 18th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
and further more, to all those who say that this has “nothing” to do with those who owned the boat, one must wonder why underage folks were allowed access to a private spot to party (be it a boat or a private residence later in the day) without proper supervision that could have prevented illegal partying… and “DJ Morris”, again it is a cop out to say this “kid” “took it upon himself to leave and get in a high speed accident” (ie DRUNK DRIVING)… yes it was Zegeye’s ultimate responsibility, but the fact that others had driven for him earlier in the day becaused he was too messed up certainly indicates that they were aware that he was not able to make good decisions for himself at that point, so really wasn’t truly able to “take it upon himself” (and it wasn’t just a “high speed accident”..it was negligence due to impairment/ drunk driving vehicular homicide)…if dumb teens are going to party in a group, then the group needs to police itself/ take keys away from drunks…this wasn’t an “accident”…it was a stupid situation that was ALLOWED to happen, and resulted in a death of an innocent person….
October 18th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
and to the person who posted as “YOU are the true douche bag”, while it is true that a motorcycle was not involved, the victim was indeed SMASHED into his windshield so severly that it required a special team to extricate his remains (and his poor brother had to witness this/ will be haunted by the scene forever)…and while you say it is “sick” to wish a life sentence on the one responsible for this one “mistake”, may I point out that it makes me ill that the innocent victim has already been given a death sentence for his “mistake” of holding a second job that happened to make him be stopped at a red light at the wrong moment…
October 20th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
“if dumb teens are going to party in a group, then the group needs to police itself/ take keys away from drunks…”
all i have to say is that people DID take his keys. you DON’T know the story and you WEREN’T there. you DON’T know anything about the party or what happened there. his keys were taken AND hidden and no one is stupid enough to let someone like that drive. he stole his keys back and left. MANY MANY people tried to stop him. EVERYONE feels horrible about what happened to paul and no one is saying it wasn’t a horrible horrible thing that happened… but imagine if it were one of your friends? you can’t help but feel bad and stick up for what you know is the ACTUAL truth
October 21st, 2008 at 9:45 am
Imagine if the person who died was part of your family.
October 24th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
So I wasn’t at the party but I do know the TRUTH that those at the party should then have called the cops to stop him before he killed someone if they couldn’t get his keys… I don’t have to “imagine” what is was like to lose Paul/ he WAS part of my family… I KNOW the Truth….He is dead forever because a bunch of stupid kids were engaged in illegal unsupervised partying… Yes Beruch is probably a great kid otherwise, and I am sure he feels very bad and his life is changed forever/ he didn’t mean to kill anyone, BUT HE DID…and his friends should have done EVERYTHING in their power to stop him, including calling the cops….so stop trying to say you bear no responsibility / or that we should pity you all or your “friends” because we weren’t there… you partied all day and are not even 21 so it was ILLEGAL in the first place…that is the TRUTH….
October 24th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
and apparently you all WERE “stupid enough to let someone like that drive” as the evidence shows, he DROVE…. When dealing with a drunk, you HAVE to stop them, even if it means calling the cops if he finds his keys…. so quit trying to absolve yourselves… bottom line, you partied with him all day and then YOU LET HIM DRIVE , even if you “tried” to stop him… that is not enough… Had just one person found a way to really stop Mr. Zegeye / called the cops, no one’s life would be gone or even messed up forever now, including your dear friend that you are all so quick to point to as the only guilty party… I actually do feel sorry for Mr. Zegeye, but not because he killed someone, but for having friends like you all…
October 24th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
and if you had really cared about your “friend”, you would have found a way to stop him, be it calling the cops or letting the air out of his tires or something, as he could have just as easily have killed/ injured HIMSELF with his drivng instead of an innocent victim… seems to me that you all are more concerned about defending YOUR role/ your school in this rather than truly being concerned about Mr. Zegeye…
October 24th, 2008 at 2:10 pm
but of course, none of the “insiders” at the party who’ve posted here were going to call the cops because then they would have been in trouble too since what they were doing was illegal… so “hello” and the others at the party, quit trying to defend your group’s selfish actions in the name of defending your friend (which I reiterate doesn’t really seem to be your true agenda as much as covering your own asses…) It doesn’t matter that I wasn’t at the party as a witness…there shouldn’t have BEEN a party…. if you all want to take on adult activities like partying (and driving) then take responsibility for the consequences like adults… (and I might add, I don’t “hate” Mr. Zegeye or think that a long prison sentence will bring Paul back… I will let the Justice stystem decide, and I hope that Mr. Zegeye does find a way to go on and contribute to the world in a more postive way, as I do understand that his life/head is forever f*cked up for one day’s stupidity…. but again, it wasn’t an “accident”, and for that the justice system must prevail..) But that doesn’t let those he partied with off the hook…
October 24th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
nor does it allow the adults (ie parents/ grandparents/ guardians/ whom ever…) connected to those teens who were at the party off the hook either… If these young people, who even now are seemingly not willing to take responsibility for their actions, were not adult enough then to handle adult partying and the responsibilites that go with it, they should not have been given adult access to adult spaces like boats and private homes where they could party in private.. (and I am assuming without adult supervision/intervention….and if their parents had no clue that this was happening among this peer group, that is really sad because then they just must not have been paying attention or are turning their heads the other way…I was a teen once too, and know from experience that drunk and/or tranquilized teens are pretty easy to spot if one is looking… )
October 24th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
and “hello”, I don’t know how to convince you and your crowd tht is was not merely a “horrible horrible thing that happened…” When a bird shits on your car , that is a thing “that happened”/ is a random event… When a group of young people party are allowed to party all day, and given access to cars, that is NOT an accident…it didn’t just “happen”… it was a bad situation that was allowed to go on with tragic results that were inevitable, not because of fate, but because a drunk was allowed to get messed up in the first place, and then was allowed to drive…
October 24th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
and “hello” since you go to such great lengths to defend your group’s actions/ provide the detail that you even hid Mr. Zegeye’s keys, I have to cynically point out that you all must have done a pretty shitty job of hiding those keys if an impaired person who was so out of it that he perceived a red light with two cars stopped at it as “green with 2 cars suddenly pulling in front” of him could find them… Perhaps you all were just as messed up as he was????… But of course, I don’t know since I wasn’t there, so I shouldn’t be allowed to point out that partying when you are only 17 is ILLEGAL in any case… and I want to add that not only were you all allowed to party which may not be your fault but rather your parents’, you all did MAKE the CHOICE to party as well irrespective of what was allowed/ ignored by your parents… and that IS your fault even if you are only in high school…
October 24th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
and “hello”, please indulge in me in one last chance to offer an accurate observation of the situation and the group of teens that partied, or as you put it, to “stick up for what (one) knows is the ACTUAL truth”… (even though apparently according to you I am an IDIOT who should be SHOUTED AT as I was not there to witness the party and therefore seem to have no real right to speak about events that are public record/ reported in Zegeye’s actual police booking report …) the TRUTH is, had Beruch’s good friends earlier in the day that saw he was too messed up to drive from party spot A to party spot B and therefor drove his car for him merely taken him and/or his vehicle home at that point (or even somewhere else where he could sober/clear up) rather than on to another party where he could get his keys back (and presumably get more impaired than he already was), he possibly would be facing punishment from his parents that would “suck”…but that would be a lot better than facing prison like he is now … (and from having to live the rest of his life with the guilt of killing an innocent person which I do know will screw his head up forever if he really is the great guy that you all report… and please understand that I don’t get any satisfaction from knowing he will be tormented by this the rest of his life.. I do have compassion for him on some level as that must be an awful thing to have to live with the rest of your life (although I do point out that he IS lucky to still have a life / BE alive unlike Paul)…but at least he has tried to apologize and take some sort of responsibility for his actions unlike those who partied with him and post here in an effort to distance themselves from any guilt…)…so please stop pretending that you all have/ had his best interests at heart, but that he is solely to blame for the events of that day…. You all were part of the same party culture that allowed this to “happen”… (real) FRIENDS DON’T LET FRIENDS DRIVE DRUNK/ IMPAIRED….
October 25th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
and “hello”, while I implied I’d shut up soon, I am sorry but I just can’t get your self-righteous, self-centered, self-serving post (and attitude) out of my mind… I am sooo sorry that I DON’T know what actually went down at the party / wasn’t there first hand to witness and praise the many “heroic” (failed) efforts that your MANY MANY friends made to protect your impaired friend from harming himself and/or others. Your group’s deep concern about Mr. Zegeys’ impairment at the time was heartwarming, and you all really should be commended for feeling that way. It did a world of good at the time!!!!.. You are right, I have no idea of what I am talking about or what went on at the parties across the day since I WASN”T EVEN THERE; furthermore, I am stupid for not understanding that underage high school students DO have the right to party all day as long as they do their best to TRY to make sure no one who is impaired drives, and if someone is “inadvertantly ” killed, it’s real real nice to know how you all “feel” it is a horrible thing (that happened)… I do appreciate your statement of remorse for the death of Paul..oh wait, you didn’t say how sorry you all were for his death or even for his family’s loss (which you could have done even without acknowledging your guilt/ role in the party situation)….. you instead note how HORRIBLE it made YOU / EVERYONE “feel”… I hope you can get over feeling bad about this terrible “thing that happened” (and I might add, apparently “happened” just by some wierd co-incidence that you all had nothing to do with) in time to make it to this weekend’s parties….it is a real shame, I feel really bad that EVERYONE that was at the party is hurting so… They HAVE experienced a great loss…that is, NO more parties on boats or at private homes anymore I suspect… LOL… (in case the irony is lost on you, let me make it clear…. you didn’t really express any sort of remorse for this preventable death, or even offer your condolences to those who experienced the loss, you instead framed this as all about how it upset you all/ how it made you “feel”… (and I get the sense that you are not so much upset by the senselss loss of life as you are by the fact that you’ve had to deal with this “horrible” (seemingly random) “situation” that in actuality your peer group’s partying help set in place)…..How incredibly self-centered!.. apparently it IS all about YOU and how YOU poor little kiddies “feel”, which is further supported by your statement to the effect that we should imagine what it feels like to have a friend be in such trouble (that you all had nothing to do with)…. God, it must be really rough….I FEEL really horrible for you….LOL…. Again, I say I really do feel sorry for Mr. Zegeye for having friends like you…
October 25th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Oh yeah, didn’t really mean to imply empathy / to say I feel horrible FOR you, but more precisely I feel horrible about the terrible thing that HAPPENED to you all… poor babies…. it truly is SAD that you won’t get to party on the boat anymore… (and believe me, no one is saying that having your party scene wrecked wasn’t a horrible horrible thing as well…LOL)

accidents happen and everyone makes mistakes.that’s why they are called accidents!
