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.

serious issues….
Well, unless she has a time machine, that didn’t happen.
I have no idea. I don’t spend my time in podunk bars.
I misunderstood.
But you’re still an idiot.
Thanks swj.
Hmmm… you seem to know a lot about that. You’ve been googleing terms like “how to cure impotence”, haven’t you?
Can we turn to R.Kelly now?
And travis.
Cut it out now, please.
I’m civil to a point, Travis. Please, I would prefer not pass that point with you.
Well, apparently YOU are the one that thinks having a “life partner” is an insult. I’m merely pointing out that a man who leaves lifting to his daughter is obviously more feminine than his daughter, thus he may have a…ah…uh… significant “friend”.
Travis – I believe you need to read the terms of use policy
Maybe read it twice.
I’m just guessing here, but I’m pretty sure you’re careening towards the guardrails….
He went through them a while ago. Now he’s doing donuts in the dirt.
.oO(waiting for those words I just love – buh-bye)
I’ve posted as a response. You want my to stop? Then stop responding.
Translation: I want the last word so I can brag about pwning a conservative black sell-out.
I’m not going to defend my stance anymore than I already have. You’ve turned this thread into a Bbsh 30 pcs thread and you actually agreed with me about Akon.
You misunderstood my comments and didn’t ask for clarification. You’ve pretty much proven that you are an angry individual with deep seated issues regarding race and what it means to be black.
You sound like my sister back when my husband and I moved into a pretty upscale neighbor in PA. She was helping us move in which happened to be move in day for our neighbors who were black. She denied that they were the neighbors. They’re just the movers she said. Boy did she have to eat crow after that turned out not to be true. She couldn’t afford to live there. So, in essence neither could other black people. I was only able to move in because of my white husband, according to her logic.
But you see, she says whatever she has to say to make herself feel better, kind of like you.
So, I don’t take what you say personally. I actually pity you.
I think i’ve pwned a lot more than that here today.
30 – you’re the epitomy of class.
Love ya!
Thanks for making my point.
Travis,
I say this with great enthusiasm, you are a liar. You started with an attack on 30 with post #27. It was unprovoked and you spun it into character assignation.
Someone wake Rick up.
Well when you wake up Rick, hide post #28 first–
Soap –
Actually – Travis is correct in stating that 30 made the “I say this as a black person” comment before he started in on her…
But he immediately associated her statement with ‘appeasement’ of whites – insinuating that she was trying to fit in with conservative whites by proclaiming her ethnicity and at the same time agreeing with the majority here.
So: Timing – Travis is right…
Ideology – Travis is sadly wrong…
Thanks jrl. It’s not easy. I’m actually trying very hard but I deal with his type anytime I speak with my brother. Smart enough to know better but won’t do better.
Travis, the person you have said more about than anybody today is yourself. I just wish you had sense enough to realize it.
No problem, 30 – you know all of us a FOMM have your back anytime you need it ( and even when you don’t ).
I’m just wondering – does MikeB have a brother-of-color he doesn’t know about?
Seems to be the same ‘attack mentality’ we’ve dealt with in the past, except this time it’s towards you, not Michelle.
They need to stick electrodes in this guys head and study “whacko” level.
Is not an invitation to be insulted and she did not provoke him to anything. 30 has shown class while having her character impugned.
The sad part is, if/when he gets the boot, judging by his remarks, he’ll say it was because he’s black – and most likely those like-thinking friends he associates with will believe him….
Wow, I had forgotten about MikeB and his inanity.
At least DK’s skewed ideology allowed for cordiality.
Soap and jrl, I’ve actually used I’m a black person in a couple of posts. Never have I been accused of using it in some effort to pacify you guys. Maybe because you guys are smarter than that. Oops there I go again…
Travis, doesn’t have any problem with attacking the intelligence of the posters here. I guess that’s all he has. Attack first, asks questions later.
Soap – You are 100% correct.
30:
“You guys” – is that like “You people”?
Oh my – I’m insulted… too bad I don’t have a mouthpiece to help me picket your house….
Surprise, surprise.
Isn’t that the reason you resort to those action, 30?
Or maybe you’ve finally gained access to the highest pantheons of white suburbia. mission accomplished.
Truth is never an insult.
Starting the countdown…..
I hear the famous MikeB circus music again.
jrl, what happens if I say I didn’t get the memo. Does that absolve me of guilt?
So you admit that you’re calling out 30′s character based on her race and her political beliefs?
Thanks for being honest about your racial-centric ideology.
Hilarious!
Uh, no. I’ll say it was because you could not defend your position, thus you did the very thing you rail against the college dems for doing, and extinguished differing opinion.
The fact that you find anything wrong with #28 tells me that you truly are an under-educated dolt.
Please, just go away. You will make this a more intelligent place simply by leaving.
And one more ill word about 30pcs (or anyone else here, really) and I’m afraid I’ll not be able to continue my civility.
Show you have some decency/class. Any amount will do.
I’m still trying to get over the fact 30pcs is black.
&
Anybody’s fault but his own. Boy, does he sound like my brother. Robert is that you?
That’s a typical college dem response. Your SAT verbal score wasn’t that high, was it?
Aj, love the sense of humor.
Shes having the same difficulties.
30 pcs,
don’t you see? He’s still trying to get over the fact your black. He just can’t believe it. Isn’t that a shame?
So, you now accept that 30 is a black female?
Progress.
So – according to you, Travis:
A black person must not correlate black ethnicity and criminality, even when the criminal is black, otherwise they are simply pawns of the white establishment. “Uncle Toms” of a sort, right?
Is that not what you’re saying?
It’s not proper for someone, who is black, to use that fact in a statement, otherwise they are ‘apologizing’ for that fact to the white establishment, is that correct, Travis?
Was that in responce to 30? You insult her AGAIN?
Travis, grow up. Either you are too stupid to realize he is being sarcastic or you are desperate for someone to agree with you about me. It’s probably both. You see, I knew you were just mad because you didn’t fit in.
Ok jackass, since you’ve shown you’re entirely unable to behave in a polite manner, I’ll cease my efforts to do the same.
You are calling an intelligent, successful, moral, ethical, witty and (IMHO) stunningly attractive black woman a sell out.
Does that suggest that you, along with others who have not “sold out” are feckless, morally turpid, intellectually bankrupt?
Are you suggesting that someone with class isn’t “one of you”? Would that by extansion suggest that “the rest of you” lack such redeaming qualities?
Or ANY redeaming qualities?
You’re a toad. A troglydite. A worthless pile of crap that were I to step upon it I’d burn the shoe before wasting the effort to scrape it off.
I’ve had QUITE enough out of you, you POS. Shut the frag up, and go the frak away. You contribute nothing to this blog, and I suspect you contribute nothing to society as a whole.
Your passing would only serve to increase the average IQ of the global population.
Travis – what position are you defending? All your comments are racially inflammatory or insinuate sexual preference. You’re adding nothing to the topic except your own racially skewed views of how ‘black people’ are supposed to act.
WOW!!!
30pcs, my respect for you grows by leaps and bounds everyday. I don’t remember who said it, but you are the epitome of class.
Sorry I wasn’t here to help, but I think you were in good hands with AJ, bear, soap, swj, backwoods, jrl, PBoiler, and anyone else I missed. Thanks guys. Great job.
Travis, buh-bye.
She can be in my hands any time she wants…
Why would post #28 have to be hidden?
Is our young beret-wearing Travis drinking shoe polished strained through bread?
Or is incoherence a debating skill?
Just askin….
Very good. Hopefully we will come to a point where we no longer feel the need to publicize races.
Remember, hes rap artist Akon, not black rap artist Akon.
I love those words!!!
Swj… lol
ROFLMAO
Sarcasim? or Freudian slip?
LOL Bear
artist? thats where you lose me… ROFLMAO
So, by that rationale, do you feel a twinge every time you hear about the “white rapper Eminem”?
Can’t we all just get along, Travis?
ROFL jrl
Thanks guys. Travis isn’t worth getting kicked off of here. He is not worth much of anything at all.
You guys have my utmost respect. Travis is a joke.
Thanks Tim.
travis is not worth the effort – You are 30!
Eh. It was Ok. Nothing to write home about. You didn’t really use anything i said against me, just kinda puling stuff out of the air and putting it on me. Anyone can do that. Lets see some more creativity next time. NEXT!
Travis,
You are obviously jealous of our 30 pcs because she is an intelligent, confident, positive woman who exists without the need for faux assurances from people like you.
You too remind me of someone I met in the back seat of my police car. Perhaps it’s time for to grow up, leave mommy’s bosom and be a real man. Bet you can’t do it.
Nanny Nanny Boo Boo, Sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me. Something I learned when I was a child, taught to me by my Mom.
lol…Soap -
That’s just the picture I got reading swj… Bluto standing there – crouched and ready – spewing his diatribe….
Loved it….
My position has been stated clearly. And my opinion applies to all people, regardless of race. No one needs to go around apologizing for what people who have nothing to do with you have done.
Totally
Ridiculous
Another
Very
Insignificant
Shmuk
is lil Trav-a-reeno gone or what?
What?
No, he’s still evading mature dialogue.
White rapper Eminem? I’ve never referred to Em as such.
Guess you are not.
Your position has been stated clearly FOR you. Minor, but important, clarification.
Well if being a man includes shakin’ it for you… no, i can’t do that.
Funny, I’ve never referred to Akon as “Black Rap Artist Akon”. What’s your point?
Deaf AND dumb. Sucks to be you… I SAID IT SUCKS TO BE YOU!… ah, forget it.
Image:
Soap doing his best Bluto: Scans horizon to the left. Then right. Spots 30! Swoops down and hikes her up on his shoulder.
.oO(someone wake soap up)
Travis – I’ll try this again since you didn’t understand my coy attempt at humor.
You stated:
Who asked anyone to do that? Or was that just another incoherent blurb?
What a shame. Sounds like you’re more than a little envious of those that can shake it, you intellectual wimp.
Did i say you did?
That is the essence of 30 pcs “As a black person” post.
Deflecting is easy and we all know you are good at it.
How about you attempt an answer to the question?
Envious?
Intellectual?
Somebody got a thesaurus for Kwanzaa.
No, Travis – it’s not.
30′s “As a black person” post was more accurately directed at those with YOUR mentality.
Those that assume that all black persons agree with and stand up for black thugs and criminals and like rap music.
She simply stated that, as a black person, she is NOT that way.
But you took it a step further and assumed that her statement was meant to ingratiate herself with whites – that she was apologizing for being black.
You assume a lot – that’s the problem.
Thank you jrl. Had Tragedy asked for clarification, I would have explained that to him but I guess it’s more fruitful to keep a lie going.
I think this is as much attention he has gotten since he started posting. Eat it up Trav…
A lie, but you said yourself that you qualified your opinion with “as a black person” several times before. Another Freudian slip? Face it, you have a problem, and like many problems, they need to be exposed to be cured.
Well, children, it’s been fun – but alas, I have to go. Maybe I’ll check back later to see how many are left in this little game of tag….
As for you Travis – sincerely – you need to take off those racial glasses and realize that most of us here could care less about anyone’s race.
Like the man once said – paraphrasing…
“We don’t care about race – even if you do”.
I hope you can understand that someday. I really do.
30 – Aj – Swj – Bear – and all the rest – I’m out.
Gotta go out to dinner – maybe Denny’s… ( Some will get that joke – others will wonder for years… )
30, girl, you are all class….!
He’s easily intimidated and he won’t last long.
Damn, and all I got was the traditional Kwanzaa gift…
The book “What the Hell is Kwanzaa?”
You do know what a freudian slip is, right?
Because I’m really trying – you moron – and I’m unable to see any.
Please. Quote for me her slips…
But it put a smile on your face didn’t it? And no, it was for you. I know there are more than Akon and Mike Vick in the world, but, quite rightly, people like you don’t, so she used what she could, and it worked.
like rap music? what does that have to do with anything? you got a little too comfortable there, didn’t you?
Actually she took it a step further when she said “long ling of black celebrities”.
I’m gone too.
Travis… You need some serious help. I hope you find it somewhere. You can not continue to live a productive life with all the hate that you obviously hold inside.
All my heroes, have a great evening. I might check in later. See ya. Good job.
“ling”?
okey dokey.
Funny, you managed to misspell a word that isn’t even a word!
hey, cha-chi, go check out your post on #195, then get back to us puddin’.
(still waiting for some intellectual honesty from Travis)
