THE 
June 7, 2007 Akon’s Going Down For This One!
Well, well, well, looks like Akon will get his dues for that last bit of ridiculousness he pulled. In our previous post, we showed you how the whiny crooner slammed a concert goer into the crowd of onlookers. This time, people may be going for moolah.
Detective Lt. John Berlingieri said the concert goer tossed by Akon was a 15-year-old resident of Harriman, Orange County. Fishkill police know the teen’s name but would not release that information.
On Sunday at Dutchess Stadium, during a concert staged by Fishkill-based WSPK (104.7 FM), the 15-year-old boy was plucked from the crowd by a security guard, hoisted in the air by Akon and hurled back into the crowd.
Abby Rosa of Delaware County, on whom the 15-year-old landed after Akon tossed him, said she has retained an attorney and spoken to the Fishkill Police Department about the incident. Rosa said she suffered a headache immediately after the incident; then blurry vision; and was later diagnosed at a hospital with a concussion…
Rosa said the teen who was tossed and hit her didn’t appear injured. But, she pointed out, she was injured and doesn’t have health coverage.
“Somebody is at fault and it’s not my fault,” she said. “I definitely want an apology from Akon.”
First you viciously hump a 14 year old girl, and then you launch a 15 year old boy into (and onto) a crowd of screaming teens. Suburban teens at that. I smell a potential lawsuit in the air!

I saw this comming a mile away. And so the did the cop in the audience that was in the video. How dumb can you be? Akon is taking this “Konvict” too seriously.

He is going to pay big time for this. By the time he is done settling lawsuits and paying attorney fees, he will be lucky if he can collect food stamps.

Anybody who was involved in that would be stupid not to file a lawsuit. And for him to do it in Orange County of all places?! All of those kid’s parents have $$$. He won’t go to jail but he will have to pay up for his antics.
