Why akon throws kid

Hip-hop star Akon pleaded guilty Wednesday to harassment for tossing a fan off stage at an upstate New York concert last year. The year-old singer threw a teenage boy off the stage during a June concert at a minor league baseball stadium near Poughkeepsie. Another concertgoer said she suffered a concussion when the teen landed on her. Witnesses said a spectator threw something at Akon during the show at Dutchess Stadium. After he asked the crowd to point out the culprit, a security guard picked up a year-old boy and sent him up to the stage.

As previously reported, the RnB singer previously pleaded not guilty to charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment in relation to that earlier incident. A kon then manhandled Smith and ultimately threw him back into the crowd. That event was caught on camera, as was this new one on 30 Aug in South America. The video shows Akon dive into the crowd and attempt to crowd surf to a podium further out into the audience. Showing a staggering ignorance of the incriminating power of YouTube, Akon pleaded innocent to charges of second-degree harassment and endangering the welfare of a minor.

Meanwhile, dozens of concert-goers posted videos on the internet — with Akon's mighty lob in full display. The rapper appeared at the Fishkill courthouse yesterday in a grey suit and power-blue shirt. Should Akon be arrested again in the next year, he will also have to reappear in Fishkill.

According to the Poughkeepsie Journal, the fan met Akon outside the courthouse. He walked up to the singer, shook his hand and said, "Thanks".
