Thug singer Akon charged in boy-hurling case
Back in June, thug R&B singer Akon was involved in a stage tantrum involving a boy whom he hurled from a stage. Here’s the vid:
Today, Akon was charged in the incident:
Police have filed several charges against hip-hop star Akon for tossing a teenager off the stage onto another spectator who said she suffered a concussion as a result.
The charges stem from an incident June 3 at Dutchess Stadium. Audience members said a spectator lobbed something at Akon and the singer asked the crowd to point out the culprit. A security guard picked out a 15-year-old and sent him up to the stage, where Akon hoisted him onto his shoulders and flung him into the crowd.
The boy landed on Abby Rosa, who told the Poughkeepsie Journal she was later diagnosed with a concussion. She said she has hired a lawyer and spoke to Fishkill police about the incident.
Akon is scheduled to appear in Fishkill Town Court Monday morning for arraignment on a misdemeanor charge of endangering the welfare of a minor, and second-degree harrasment,a violation, according to a news release issued Thursday by Town of Fishkill Police Chief Donald Williams.
More background here.
The unhinged kid-tossing debacle came on the heels of Akon’s videotaped girl-humping escapade, which led to Verizon Wireless dropping the jerk from its ringtone service and abandoning sponsorship of his concert tour with Gwen Stefani–as well as a failed attempt by his record label to stifle criticism of his behavior.
Meanwhile, the Akon empire continues to thrive.

(still waiting for some intellectual honesty from Travis)
Thanks feebs. I guess today was my day.
lmfao.
She was directly quoting you, moron!
Self pwnage is the best pwnage.
You said, and I quote:
Well, you can wait all night… i’m out.
PB, I’m still waiting for some proof of intellectual ability from Travis…
lmao….oh, boy.
Feebs you are a riot. cha-chi.
You bring a weak game, but you knew that deep down inside.
Sleep tight.
Guys like that can’t understand a mirror. He thinks it’s a photo of somebody else!
#209 – OMG, that is FUUUNNNYYY.
Image of a parrot right now with a mirror…..
Oh and last thing:
“okey dokey” is pronounced OH-KAY DHO-KAY.
Its pronounced OH-KEE DHO-KEE, meaning the spelling is Okie Dokie.
Do try and keep up.
#211 – not in italian its not…
have fun tonight, come back a changed person…
and before you hurt yourself, “Dokie” is not a word.
since it’s a colloquial term, there are a NUMBER of accept spellings.
Much like it is possible to correctly spell “Travis” in the following manner:
okay now, buh bye…buh bye.
Meeting travesty you realize what the police are up against in New Hampshire.
Quibbling over the pronunciation and spelling of slang? I know a professional linguist who would have a ball taking you apart.
lol.
And btw…
It is “Okey Dokey”
See here
Gods your fun.
Good beat down. Seems almost unfair since Tragedy does have full use of the right side of his brain.
$10 bucks he practiced this in a mirror before posting it…..very sloooowwwly.
I always thought it was okey dokey pokey…. lol
lmao feebiebabe…. #221
Someone please water that poor little geranium and feed it or it will die where it stands.
He would argue it while conveniently ignoring his own gaffe. Deflect, deflect.
ling!
There was a standing site gag on an old tv show back in the 60s, where the host was dressed as a beseiged cavalry officer.
Every week, the same gag. The officer would open the door and his SGT would come in with about 50 arrows shot through and through. A walking porcupine.
Officer to SGT: “What is it Sarge?”
Same reply every week: “Injuns!”
The only person full of more holes for obvious reasons is Trav-a-ree-no.
Oh kee D-ho-kee? am i missing something?
so it must be, OH KEE Doh KEE, not OH KEE DHO KEE. D-ho isnt a word.
In case you havent heard evil knievel died today.
go ahead, AJ. tell us your joke about being his cuz…
If its a colloquial term then the spelling follows from its pronunciation. In other words, mine is correct. You didn’t even manage to look up the right term.
trav-o-ramma.
Thought you were leaving us pumpkin?
trav- o -ramma….the trav-miester…traven’ around…. the big travers,….TRAAAVESTYYYYYY….. truckin’ travie…..
(a tribute to SNL skit…cuz its Friday)
Travis, refer back to what I said about the professional linguist.
Just thought I’d see how far down the evolutionary continuum you guys have made it since my last post. Still nuckle-dragging…
just not feelin the love feebs…
Well, it seems that ole travisty crawled back into his hole.
Man that BBQ was good. Glad to see feebs was her usual winning self.
LOL, 30P. I wouldn’t pay it much mind. The lad is obviously obsessed with race – but then again he’s also obsessed with “okie-dokey”. This kid is deep, I tell ya!
BBBBZZZZZZZ sorry, wrong answer, but thanks for playing! Merriam-Webster and dictionary.com and American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary disagree with you entirely and think it is spelled okey dokey. English is a precise language regardless of what those who regularly butcher the language to be cute or trendy think.
I just read through this entire train-wreck of a thread and have discovered that Travis apparently wasn’t held enough as a child.
But I would like to find one of those super duper jump-the-shark-with-freakin’-lazer-beams-on-their-heads things that Travis uses to magically divine the race, integrity, and value system of anyone he posts with online for more than 30 seconds. That would be sweeeet.
freakin’ sharks with lazer beams…love it. loooooveeee it!!!

Nice try, but it’s not a multiculturalism issue. This thread was about Akon assaulting a fan, it’s not about simulated sex with teenagers on stage. I don’t condone either.
To answer you question about whites doing similar things(assaulting fans):
GG Allen used to throw feces at fans. GG wasn’t West African.
Axl Rose has dived off the stage to fight fans. Axl isn’t West African.
That’s just off the top of my head. I can’t imagine who I’m leaving out.
For Gabe to make this issue about lack of assimilation and the failures in reaching out to multiculturalism displays an obvious level of ignorance. I doubt he would have made the comment if the singer was Motorhead’s Lemmy(British), or Billy Idol(British), or called them Barbarians.
Bear:
It’s #10, since you’re so busy. I do think you have “jumped the shark”. You used to have well thoughtout posts that were reasonable although I disagreed with them. Your posts on the thread in support of ASSUMING the nasty women in the video were illegal hispanic immigrants based on statistics and demographics were pathetic. Good luck protecting your family from those unsanitary women who are illegal hispanic because you say so. You twisted yourself in a pretzel to support MM.
Be careful, Buck. They’ll start saying you’re a liberal, or a troll, because you don’t assume people to be illegal, nor assume them to be a threat. You actually look at people individually, rather than concocting some blanket ideology to fit your own biases.
Travis
I know, man. I know.
Ask me if I care 1 iota about you buck i. Low class vermin is all you are.
I can’t even put that quote in my post – Buck – you need to be booted – “suck an egg” is hardly the equivalent of what you just spewed.
You should, and hopefully will, be booted from this site.
Totally uncalled for.
We shall see.
No apologies.
Riiight, Travis -
You’re an expert on not judging people, right? The same guy who has done nothing but spew garbage towards a female poster because she was black and didn’t ’say the right things’ – which made her an apologist to the whites….
BuckI
There is absolutely no justification possible for your comment about AJ and his mother.
Buh Bye
Agreed Tim. The comments section is supposed to be a place for debating the issues, not a competition to see who can hurl the vilest insults.
Then perhaps YOU should stick to that.
Laddie, nobody should, since Gabe is 100% correct. This is more than obvious when one looks at the quote he was responding to – which you refused to note, much less address.
The childtossing/humping thug offers as his “excuse” for his ongoing disgusting and illegal actions:
“When I first came to this country I didn’t really understand the whole culture, you know me coming from Senegal, West Africa and all that”.
If any of the above were bright enough to note the painfully obvious, as Gabe did, they would have been roundly applauded. Not “condemnded”. We can only hope they’ll learn to be more on the ball.
You owe the commenters here a truly penitent apology. You also owe one to Michelle for abusing her hospitality to viciously and shamefully attack others.
I do stick to that, travis. What I could say, and what I am sometimes tempted to say, is much worse than what I actually do say. Do not let that mislead you into thinking I will not berate a person for boorish behavior. I will.
Sir, Really?
Did I imagine this?:
Sounds like an insult to me.
Any of us would debate you if you presented valid arguments. We’re not afraid of you but you have both revealed your true nature by your personal attacks and vile comments.
Your selective moral outrage is the real issue here, not ours. It looks to me like you get more enjoyment out of stirring the pot then trying to hold a rational discussion, and exactly what names did I call you Travis?
The only one I recall was Travisty. Wow that must have really stung you, poor little fella.
#253
Painfully obvious? That’s Rich.
I heard Akon’s statement. He said it before the object was tossed. It wasn’t offered as an excuse by Akon. Watch it again. Or stick to lying.If it was a white
singer, the words assimilation and multiculturalism never would have been typed, but of course you know that.
Oh…I could find more like this.
If I get banned….it was worth it. Thanks for lying to me about the Akon video though.
Thanks purplepeep. He removed all doubt…and still at it I see.
BuckI the martyr????
NOT!!!
Hey Tim,
You pulling an all-nighter?
No 30, these two aren’t worth it. I’ll be calling it quits in a little while.
Indeed – it was his setup excuse. Of the “I’m predisposed” to do it out of ignorance of how decent people live variety. It’ll be interesting to see how well that excuse goes with a judge and jury. My guess is they will be somewhat less impressed with that defense than are you. Somehow I suspect “hey, I’m new in town, I didn’t know throwing and humping kids was unacceptable here!” likely won’t carry the day.
However, the crucial point here is you cannot deny Gabe’s correct conclusion that the thug _still_ hasn’t learned; as has been noted, it’s patently obvious by his own actions. You just have no defense against that undeniable fact.
Now, with that settled, you just need to offer some sincere apologies.
Hiya, 30P – I always get kind of a giggle when someone presumes to tell a person what they should think. e.g. ‘you’re black – here’s the party line for all black people”. It’s a racist view of people. I’ve never met two people who thought alike on everything – not even twins!
Purplepeep.
It wasn’t his excuse.
Maybe you’re not lying. Maybe you just neglected to watch the video.
Akon says:
Then the object was thrown on stage. Which pissed off Akon, so he stopped mid-sentence. Next, he had the boy pointed out and brought on stage. Then he tossed him off(committing a possible felony), then he went back to his original statement as the video ends. Watch the video if you care. If you decide to “spin” what your own eyes and ears realize, there’s no hope in further discussion. Just say Buck I, I’m not gonna tell the truth, here. I’m gonna lie, just cus.
A jury of his peers, right? Isn’t that the line? A jury made up of people like you, probably jealous of the success of blacks like Akon because they are “thugs”.
And will the kid who threw the object be charged with assault? perhaps we should take a page from the Jena case and charge his with attempted murder, then put him up against a “jury of his peers”.
So what difference does that make and what legal defense would apply here in this case? Certainly self defense would not apply and your asertion that he committed a possible felony is ridiculous. Throwing someone off the stage is “Assault with intent to do great bodily harm” and possibly even Assault with intent to murder, both of which are felonies.
You both seem to be the one spinning the facts and Peep is right, the “I’m new here excuse” will not fly with any jury in this country.
Buh-Bye
What my “eyes and ears realize” (lol) was your complaint. Let’s look at again so your eyes, ears, toes, belt buckle and moustache can examine and fully comprehend:
You, quoting Gabe’s #10 -
“The barbarian still doesn’t. This is a real reason to get rid of this worship of “multiculturalism.” If he had been better assimilated, this stuff would not be going on.”
Your complaining in response:
Now, the burden – and I admit it’s an overwhelming one – is on you to show how the thug has learned. Otherwise Gabe wins the debate by default. Unless and until you can, your bluff has been called and you just got pwned.
You can be as irrational and insulting as you choose but it just doesn’t change that fact. But as noted, it is an undeniable fact so I can somewhat understand your emotional explosions since you’ve painted yourself into an embarassing corner. Don’t excuse them, though – you still need to apologize to the good folks here and to Michellle.
Yep. Sounds about right coming from you. For him the justice system is just another instrument to mete out his bigotry. The kid who threw the object, nothing. Akon, attempted murder. Yes indeed, one standard applies to all. 30 pcs should be
bojanglingagreeing with you any time now…travis said:
(eh, who cares what Travvie said? Kids really do say the darnedest things, afterall.)
LOL. He’s demanding an answer to the post when the post itself is the problem.
Wow Travis, you are sounding like a professional race hustler.
Interesting. Did somebody forget to apply this “standard” to the “Jena 6″?
Buck:
What’s this crap about pulling someone’s mother into an argument?
And AJ should know better – way over the line.
I want to see apologies from both of you please.
Ricks correct, My comment to watershed was a mistake and I regret posting it, I’m sorry and it wont happen again. Unacceptable as well the egg business with Buck I, please accept my apology for that as well and lets all move on and play nicer from here on out.
aj
Please remove post #251.
travis,
One last thing before I ignore you.
In this country we have ONE Justice Systen, not one for some idiot to mete out his bigotry and one for the rest of us. If you can’t understand that then you are a part of the problem and you deserve to be shunned. You are a dangerous person and I do not associate with dangerous people.
Buh Bye
I am at a loss that AJ must apologize (and did) and travis got a pass.
What is up with that?
Oh my. Things got prety heated last night.
Aj, hat goes off to you.
Soap, that’s a legitimate question.
Travis’ posts never quite rose (or sank) to the level of the other two.
He was just plain wrong, not vulgar or obscene.
I dunno – for my money the continuous race-based attack on 30pieces (who is black) was both vulgar and obscene. And wrong. N’est-ce pas?
e.g.
#266
“30 pcs should be bojangling agreeing with you any time now…”
Wow, travis never sank as low as the other two. Face paint to lighten. Looking in a mirror and seeing Ronald McDonald.
By my count he made at least nine insulting posts.
31, 33, 36, 43(really bad), 49(really bad), 60, 91(really bad), 132, 266
Al least we can see for ourselves how far we CAN insult someone here. Just under 10 as long as half do go over some imaginary line.
The Fishkill cops didn’t do anything
cause thier Chief, Don [the wussy] Williams was wetting his pants over it
and didn’t know what to do.
