Diomonte Demetrius Jean in the news

Last year we wrote about Diomonte Demetrius Jean who pretended to be an Air Force PJ. He made the news in Florida this week when he was caught on Homestead Air Reserve Base pretending to be an airman

Jean’s godmother says he has pretended to be in the military for years, worn fatigues and even talked about going off to training.

Brian Entin: ā€œIs he believable?ā€

Talmecia Minnis: ā€œVery. Very convincing.ā€

She says the latest incident took things to another level.

Talmecia Minnis: ā€œIt’s escalating bad. Very bad.ā€

Last year, Jean was arrested in Florida City for openly carrying a gun that was reported stolen. In his arrest report, an officer wrote Jean said he got the gun from a ā€œfriendā€ when they ā€œā€¦were shooting in the military base.ā€

And, in a court document, Jean listed his address as ā€œHomestead Air Reserve Base.ā€

We found Diomonte Jean at a house in Florida City.

Brian: ā€œDiomonte Jean?ā€ (Jean shakes his head no.)

At first he denied who he was — but then agreed to talk.

Brian Entin: ā€œHow were you able to get on the base?ā€

Diomonte Jean: ā€œHow was I able to get on the base?ā€

Brian Entin: ā€œYeah, not being in the military. How were you able to sneak on the base?ā€

Diomonte Jean: ā€œCivil Air Patrol.ā€

His latest Facebook page says he works for an Air Force ROTC detachment;

I’m guessing that he will never stop until he gets shot for forcing his way on base.

    Impersonating a military officer should be enough to get him arrested; why has he not been prosecuted yet?

  2. Gravel

    He obviously has mental issues, what with pretending to be in the Air Force and all that.

    ***ducks and covers*** LOL

      Like I told an Army buddy when he asked, “Why did you go into the Air Force?”. My reply “Because I tested high enough to have the choice.”.

      1. Club Manager, USA ret.

        When I left the Air Force to accept my Army warrant appointment in 74′, I raised the IQ of both branches.

            Funny shit. As for Diomonte Demetrius Jean, I agree he’s a whack job.

            1. Diomonte Demetrius Jean = is the definition of a wingnut

                no…a “lug nut”! šŸ˜‰

              A name like that is likely to break the Whiz Wheel ®™.

              1. Claw

                The Whiz Wheel®™ posted a basic score for him last year when he made his first appearance, but in light of the latest wave of stupidity, that score is updated to:

                Diomonte Demetrius Jean (Manning) (FRPR*) 55 x 8 = 440

                * Full Retard Past Rutabaga (Hat Tip to API)

        Testing positive for ā€œtoo scared for combatā€ is nothing to brag about.

      Shame on you Gravel, you should duck
      ???

    It sounds like he is suffering from Schizophrenia. Pretending that you are in the military is very common with that disorder. A friend of mine has a son who thinks he is a Navy Admiral. (I jokingly address him as Admiral Jones)

    1. Deplorable B Woodman

      Is his first name “Davy”?

      1. The Stranger

        And does he hang out with guys named Mickey, Peter, and Mike?

        1. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

          Well, I’ll be a Monkey’s Uncle if he hung out with Mick, Pete and Mike.

              are they on the last train to Clarksville?

  4. HMCS(FMF) ret

    Maybe he and Cody Sterner need to hook up, get into their JROTC uniforms and play “Call of Booty – Anal Buttsekkx Warrior” together?

    This does not strike me as that unusual; in my neighborhood at home, we have two “eccentric personalities”….one is a nice little lady about 60-70 that goes everywhere in town wearing a ball gown, tiara, beauty pageant sash, and a somewhat scary Rapunzel length wig.

    The other? An obviously challenged individual that wears nothing but military fatigues..but, he does alter the camo pattern to match the seasons in Minnesota.

    All that aside, I didn’t see an issue with Mr Demetrius until the part about firearm possession and sneaking onto a Military facility….that’s going to be a problem.

    1. Gravel

      I’ve had a similar experience.

      A very long time ago I was a cop in a small city in Ohio. There was an older man (older being subjective… I was in my mid 20s and he was probably late 40s) that lived in a halfway home for people that were semi-functional with minor to medium brain function issues. He always dressed in BDUs and spit-shined boots and walked around his neighborhood. Never any trouble.

      The local Papa Johns used to donate several pizzas on Monday nights for me to take to the halfway house. You never saw so many faces beaming with delights as they did on Pizza Night. šŸ™‚

      Now, obviously, I consider that guy way different than ‘stolen valor.’ In fact, I can’t ever remember him claiming to have been in the military. He just liked to walk around in BDUs and talk with anyone that would chat. But it does make me wonder if Diomonte Demetrius Jean has some sort of underlying mental issue(s).

      1. rgr769

        Sounds sorta like Billy Bob’s character in “Sling Blade,” but wearing BDUs.

      Delta Dawn, what’s that flower you have on, could it be a rose from days gone by and did I hear you say, he was going to meet you hear today and take you to his mansion in the sky.

      1. desert

        A “faded Rose of days gone by” lol

  6. Daisy Cutter

    He self identifies as an airman.

    I thought in today’s society we are all required to participate in the fantasy?

    1. Ex-PH2

      I self-identify as a Space Shuttle Doorgunner, and I have a certificate from the school, so you can’t prove I’m not!

        If you’d like I’ll send you a video to back up you certificate…

    If Billy Idol wrote a song about this guy, it’d be called “Nose without a Face”. Look at that fuckin’ thing. Holy shit.

    1. Jay

      If he takes a deep breath, we are ALL fucked.

  8. Sparks

    Security folks on base have some splainin’ to do.

    1. Usafvet509

      Agreed. What the actual fuck, Defenders?!

    2. thebesig

      Diomonte Demetrius Jean, phony Air Force Officer, phony Airman, phony Marine, came onto the base with the Civil Air Patrol, then he was able to get on the base with just his driver’s license.

  9. Brown Neck Gaitor

    When/if he does escalate and someone gets their head broken, there will be a rush to blame the gun, lack of mental health funding and the NRA.

    Might I add the Miami Date Justice revolving door?

    1. Mason

      Wish that this were an isolated case. Felony charges constantly get pled down, then the mope gives the judge a sob story, so the judge then stays the jail time, fines, or both.

      Don’t go watch a day of misdemeanor bench trials. All these turds taking a plea, admitting their guilt on the record, and walking out with a $50 fine they have 180 days to pay. Then you get the business man who was late to work go up to fight a speeding ticket and he pays the full $180 fine.

    2. A Proud Infidel®™

      Yeah, let him do something serious and it’ll either be the gun’s fault and/or some snotnosed liberal Defense Attorney with a lollipop up his or her ass will play the “Victim of Society” card versus trying to get him the help he needed before he got that bad.

    3. rgr769

      Naw, the proggies and their propagandists have stopped yapping about the lack of mental health funding. Now it is just the evil “GUNZ” and the NRA that are at fault.

    4. 5JC

      Wait, he smokes marijuana? Shocked I am.

  10. 26Limabeans

    Brian Entin: ā€œYeah, not being in the military. How were you able to sneak on the base?ā€

    Diomonte Jean: ā€œCivil Air Patrol.ā€

    That right there is something I have heard before and it is scary.

    1. Mason

      Don’t they have some limited base access? I thought they could go to uniform sales at least.

      1. Commissioner Wretched

        CAP members have access to base only if the base commander authorizes it, and they can only visit Military Clothing Sales. Anything else is a violation of Air Force and CAP regulations, and should be harshly treated (in my never-to-be-humble opinion).

    2. sj

      Chevy was Civil Air Patrol too.

    3. Commissioner Wretched

      This clown isn’t a member of Civil Air Patrol. He accompanied a CAP member to get on base one time.

      Doofuses like him are a big reason CAP is looked down upon by some in the military community.

  11. Ex-PH2

    He’s in the wrong business altogether. With a trombone hooter like his, he could hunt for truffles and make a real name for himself.

    1. Atkron

      lol

    2. Commissioner Wretched

      Come on, Ex … a spew alert would have been nice!

      1. Ex-PH2

        Sorry! My bad!

        I was thinking an omelette with truffles and shredded cheese.

    Thank God for the under the sink water purifier I had replaced last week so I don’t have to drink the Florida tap water and possibly end up as a poser on this site.

    1. Gravel

      You too can be a “Florida Man!”

      I got lucky and left the state before my water purifier crapped out.

  13. Jeff LPH 3, 63-66

    Tony Curtis is turning over in his grave with all these “Great Imposter” peeps running around stealing his act.

  14. John Seabee

    Batshit crazy Haitian… That and a soft on crime “Turn them loose Bruce” mentality in their judicial system.

  15. Green Thumb

    Disturbing in a lot of ways.

  16. C2Show

    Reserve SFs lenient anyways. Not surprised. Matter of time.
