Forums - General - Elderly woman assaulted at pool party while everyone is watching & laughing at her

I wouldn't call that assault but still uncalled for.

Are you serious?

I just watched a video of a boy slamming a woman on to a concrete surface (where she hits her head), he then returns to his feet grabs her by the leg and the front of her shirt, and throws her carelessly in to a pool with two dogs. 

That's unquestionably assault. Legally,  assault can be as light as verbal slandour coupled with the displays of physical intention of harm, ala raised fists with insults. This is quite a few steps beyond that. 

I don't understand the apologists here "oh he was just trying to..." He picked up a woman, fell over, then instead of apologising as the gravity of his mistake sets in, he forcefully, and indecently manhandles her into a pool with her two animals. It's just so utterly reckless and dangerous. He has already tripped once, has not assessed to see if she or the animals are hurt, has no understanding of her ability to swim (given the great display of his character, I can't imagine he was the acting lifeguard immediately after) or of any of her underlying health conditions.

Even if she was completely unscathed, this event will undoubtably be traumatic for her.

I dunno, I was expecting something much worse. I mostly felt sorry for the dogs. If the guy didn't slip over and the dogs weren't involved it would just be a video of a lady getting thrown into a pool.

Typical black people. No shame, no rules. And ofc it was her fault cause she was too racist asking to mute the radio.

Stop hiding behind an alt and use your real account.

To be perfectly honest, she wasn't slammed and I wouldn't call her elderly. She's in her 50s from the look of her. The dumbass guy was trying to pick her up to carry her to the pool and throw her in but he slipped, so both of them fell. He picked her back up and threw her/jumped in the pool with her. It's not as big as deal as it sounds in my opinion.

The black kids were extremely disrespectful to her and shouldn't have threw her in, though. On the other hand, the white woman had no sense going over to party full of black teenagers to tell them to turn down the music with all of the BLM crap going on and things being more racially charged than ever. She should have just called the cops to deal with trying to get them to turn down the music.

You could have made this same post without the words "black", "white", "BLM crap" and "racially", and made the same point. I'm willing to bet the same outcome would have happened if the woman was of any race or color.

Also, 50 is pretty elderly. By age 50, you definitely need glasses, you definitely need a ton more rest than you used to 15 years ago, and she's definitely bruised and in pain from when he dropped her. It's a pretty huge deal.

Well said.

Not to defend yourself? Or to threaten them to back off? But just to immediately kill one of them? :O

And if you kill one of them the others will kill you after, so yeah, if it's not to ultimately avoiding being killed yourself, killing one of them would just be her killing herself as well.
That's not how you solve problems xP

heh, yeah. One of the fastest ways to make a dangerous situation even worse is to start killing people

If you confront people like that, always have a backup gun, knife, or other weapon on hand to be able to immediately kill one of them

Easy there, judge Dredd. One thing is self defense, another one is rushing to murder. Pretty sure you can't really bring weapons into a public pool and if you sneak one in, she'll be in just as much trouble.

OT: Send these assholes to jail, no excuse for such behavior. Add an extra year for be so unbelieable stupid to record and post it. I mean, holy hell.

You are missing the point guys. Some times you have to take one for the team. Is the right thing to do.

That's not true. There's plenty of 50 year olds that don't need glasses. My dad (51) is one of them even!

Because he's blind.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Things like that happen every day, they just don't get reported so often. I don't see a particular reason to be outraged because of this single incident. Law enforcement and courts are responsible for any further action and I trust they'll do a good job.

Looks like someone hasn't seen British law enforcement.
