She was 14, so out the gate your facts are wrong. Criticism pales in comparison to the level of anger the public felt. Outrage is a better description. The other parts of the quote, such as the location, or age of entry into the club (which as a former DJ, I know are meaningless, just about everywhere) are irresponsible and irrelevant. You’re taking the responsibility off of Akon, and putting it on the victim, or the club in some random country. Added the music video: It has clips of the outrage on the news and the girls age. https://youtu.be/ynMk2EwRi4Q https://youtu.be/ynMk2EwRi4Q

> so out the gate your facts are wrong. Didn't you write "went to jail for banging a 13 year old"? Do you have proof of this?

  Are you asking if I have proof of a claim that I corrected because it was incorrect?

    Simply pointing out the fact that you yourself made serious false allegations against someone, then criticise someone else for getting their facts wrong.

      Considering at that point, we had all taken a closer look at the facts, any incorrect fact is less understandable. Apples to Oranges. Why don’t you save your energy for more productive endeavors.

Dude, you're really in no position to be lecturing people on facts. "Criticism pales in comparison to the level of anger the public felt. Outrage is a better description." You literally didn't even know what actually happened until yesterday. The other parts of the quote aren't meaningless. I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, but it doesn't look good for you at all.

  You know I was thinking the same thing. You have no idea what you’re talking about, whereas I misspoke and corrected the record. You’re trying to tarnish my judgement when here you are, adding nothing to the discussion. You literally compared me to a guy who dry humped a little girl. It’s not me who needs to worry about looking good in this interaction. It’s you.

    Please stop perpetuating flamewars on HN. It's not what this site is for. We've had to warn you about this before, and you've been doing it repeatedly. That's not cool, and we ban that sort of account. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended from now on. That means for curious conversation, not smiting enemies. If you're pissed off at someone because of how wrong they are or you feel they are—please don't post until that subsides.

The quote came from the Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akon Not my opinion. If she was actually 14, you should amend the Wikipedia article the correct facts and a source. I am not arguing that Akon is a good guy or that he shouldn't be punished. I am just saying that you're spreading falsehoods.

  No I’m not, I misspoke and corrected the record. You however seem hell bent on defending this disgusting behavior. That’s just... off putting. Also if you keep referring to Wikipedia as some original source, your mental fact checking model is, broken to say the least. It is not my duty to update Wikipedia when your facts are wrong.
