It was horrifying because of her age and the fact that a large group of young teenagers cheered on her attacker as she was slammed on the ground before sent to the pool. At her age bones break much more easily and that attack could have LITERALLY killed her if she'd fallen in a certain way from the body slam.
I just said I am 64- and very graceful thank you- - but this is NORTH FT LAUD. Know your environment- she is at a public hotel... what right she has to tell anyone anything? Like the old dude that shot the man dead because he texted in the theaters or the old dude told a teen to tone down the music at the 7-11 parking lot. and shot the boy -
Florida is FULLLLL of snowbirds and retirees,,, go home if you can't accept this is a tourist party state!

OK- here is a better version: James is a board member at the Player's Club Townhomes in North Lauderdale. She said this all happened Saturday when the music at an unauthorized social media pool party got too loud. She walked to the pool with her dogs to ask them to turn down the music. board member goes to an unauthorized party -full of teens-
1- talk to an adult- 2- call the cops- this is a crowd of unauthorized people--
3- she is a board member and has no idea of her surroundings/ or protocols _ I do not venture to North FTL- I know my areas-- put herself in harms way- sorry- and I was a apt mgr in hollywood- I know.
Victim blaming and you tell two different stories within a minute of each other.

Sheer stupidity.
Wrong. At some point people have to be held accountable for bad decisions. I never say this, but I am saying it today: tinytrump is absolutely RIGHT on every last thing that they said in their posts. No one is "making excuses" for the idiot who threw her in to the pool - he deserves being arrested and charged, but the "victim" put herself there when she had no business being there. It was not something she could handle.
She should have called the police, not march down there with a crowd of out of control teens and think that "asking" them to turn the music down would have resulted in compliance. Let the cops handle it.
And again, if someone doesn't know how to swim, (and we don't know that she didn't know how to swim, people are projecting their own lack of knowledge on to this lady), do not go near the water, regardless of what you "expect" to happen.

It is North Lauderdale and it is not a place I would want to live.
Obviously, the teen should be charged for "expressing" himself this way.
However, the lady should have just called the police. If the party was unauthorized, why would anybody expect those people to be respectful?
