sorry but he should act in a moral and decent way around other people. He has no right to offend anyone on purpose if it is against the norm of society. Especially concerning children. I am surprised that anyone would support this man in any way concerning what he did. Lucky it wasn't my child involved.

What the guy allegedly did is despicable, but 41 year olds can legally live in The Villages, get a resident ID and use the amenities, including the pools.

Why can't someone 41,owning a home, not be able to get an ID?

I agree many are under 55, but many also are over.
So, it's not all!

What Do you mean by underage?

How about if he is chewing a cigar?

This happened around 6 PM. I was on the golf course and heard the obscenities coming from the pool. Language that would shock a sailor and very very loud. Saw the 41-year-old scale the pool fence on his way to his golf cart. Followed by the grandfather who scaled the fence too. There was much more to this event then reported.

I'm not sure why you refer to him as underage, anyone over the age of 19 is allowed to live in The Villages.
And unfortunately, he does have the right to a resident ID and to be at the pool.

Having said that, I hope the Judge throws the book at him and he spends a long time in jail. What a scumbag.

Chatbrat isn't serious defending this guy. He is just harking back to a previous thread where he was upset about a cigar chewing bar mate.

Why not?

I agree. There have been plenty of example of bad behavior by people over the age of 55. This is not about age. It's about personality and behavior.

Do you think this guy is going to be any different in 14 years?

If it had been my granddaughter the whatever age pervert would be seeing my equalizer.

Because this is what our society has become; people who will look the other way rather than risk conflict or injury.

"No he's entitled to his space in the pool & he's entitled to talk to offend anyone who is in his space--its their obligation to move-if they don't want to make his acquaintance"

IMHO - this is a very stupid comment! Free speech does not give anyone the right to "OFFEND" someone, let alone someone who is 41 dealing with a 9 yr old. And weather I'm in your space or not does not give anyone the right to strike someone. Which is why we have both Harassment and Assault laws. Because I wasn't there I cannot comment on who may have been more at fault. However I fail to see why a healthy 41 yr old male should need to resort to violence and perhaps offensive language to defuse a problem with a grandfather and his grandchild.

"My question is why didn't more 65+ pool people come to this gentleman's assistance? We may be 65+ but we could be formidable in numbers. Stick together in these situations. Don't ever let this happen again."

NOW THIS IS A COMMENT I TOTALLY AGREE WITH !! We all have cell phones; so get visible taking photo's, video's if u know how, call for help or just tell everyone to calm down. Even the simple act of standing behind the party you support can thwart a violent person from being more aggressive.

I'm impressed that the grandfather chased after the fleeing 41 year old. More impressed if he also scaled the pool wall.
