NBC NY - Despite their combined age of 182, two feisty New Yorkers should be kept far, far apart after a recent skirmish in Sheepshead Bay. Gersh Goffman, 83 years young, stands accused of beating 99-year old Steve Pulwers with “The Club” – the steering wheel anti-theft device – in a dispute earlier this week. Pulwers, who is nearly blind, was left with a broken nose and cracked ribs after a beating spurred by his asking the younger Gofman to move his car, “which was blocking his building’s driveway,” according to Sheepshead Bites. His wife, 74-year old Josefa Pulwers, told reporters that the attack itself wasn’t even the part Pulwers remembers most vividly. Rather, he told her he was even more shocked when he thought he was being attacked by another Jew. Pulwers is a survivor of Stalin’s corrective labor camps. Gofman was arrested on charges of assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon – The Club. Pulwers was sent to an area hospital where we he was fixed up and sent on his way. His 100th birthday is in late March.

Mandelbaum! Mandelbaum! MANDELBAUM!   Nothin like some good old Jew-on-Jew violence to kick off the weekend.  Ordinarily I’d say you’ve gotta be pretty fuckin heartless to beat a blind 99 year old, but when you’re 83 years old, thats kinda like a fair fight.  I mean they’re probably in the same weight class. Its practically a pick ‘em.  Somebody just tell Gersh to put down The Club and fight like a honorable hasid.

PS – How bout that son of a bitch Pulwers??  99 years old and stickin it to a 74 year old minx.  You know what kinda game you can run and what kinda pussy you can pull when you survive Stalin’s corrective labor camps?  Josefa heard one story about Pulwers surviving that shit and her panties were an ocean.
