I saw this video the other day and
immediately wanted to see this guy get arrested. Didn't care about
race, age, location, previous life experiences. Nothing. Just arrest him.
This 16 year old kid named Leon Balfour was at a pool party when this
68 (some places say 69) year old lady named Nancy James in North
Lauderdale, Florida asked them to turn down the music at a pool
party. There is video of all of this so you can see how many people,
about 200 of them, are there just making a shit ton of noise. This
isn't at a park or club. Its an apartment complex. So while she is
there with her two dogs this kid comes up behind her and lifts her
off the ground. They fall and she lands on her shoulder. No one steps
in to help or stop this. Way more important to film and post it
online. Leon then picks up the old lady and throws her into the pool
with himself while everyone cheers.
You can say he slipped and dropped her.
An accident because he went down as well. But, and this is the
important part, he shouldn't have even touched her. This kid had
absolutely no business touching this lady let alone lifting her
off the ground for any reason. And the fact that he didn't stop at
dropping her and then tossing her into a swimming pool makes it that
much worse. Nancy suffered bruises on her shoulder and thigh and has
been released from the hospital. In an interview she said “No one
should ever, ever, ever, ever, have to go through that, you know? It
just shouldn't happen. The kid has not evolved yet into what you're
supposed to be as a human being.”
