Steven Dana, the 70-year-old man accused of trying to drown an injured 21-year-old at a Hopkinton, Massachusetts beach was released on bail Friday.

Dana is charged with attempted murder, strangulation/suffocation and assault and battery on a disabled person. Video shows him slapping the young man on crutches at Sandy Beach Wednesday before a struggle in the water ensues.

Framingham District Court Judge Michael Callahan said the video is "disturbing in many ways" but said he could not grant the prosecution's request to hold Dana without bail because has never been arrested or charged with a crime before. The judge set bail at $7,500 and ordered Dana to stay away from Sandy Beach and the alleged victim.

The 21-year-old is Matt Duffy. He said Dana was annoyed that he and his friends were riding a jet ski in Lake Maspenock. Only Hopkinton residents are supposed to use the boat ramp to the lake, and police say Dana allegedly "accosted" Duffy over the residency issue before "forcefully holding the 21-year-old under the water."

"He tackled me into the water, then we were fighting, and then he shoved my head under and was not letting me breathe until my friend came up and pulled him off of me," Duffy told CBS News Boston. "I just knew I couldn't use either of my arms or my leg as they were both broken and it was just praying that he let go or my friends pull him off of me."

Duffy said he went to the hospital after to see if the incident has made his injuries even worse. Dana is due back in court on July 13 for a probable cause hearing.

Quite frankly, I think everyone involved in this situation should die a horrible, horrible death.

A pox on all of them.

The judge should be put on a raft with the Nigger in the center of the Atlantic.

Yeah, fuck this boomer, going after a dude in crutches and drowning him because he's a rude little retard like any young dumbass is when they're with their friends. Of course he went after the most visibly debilitated one of the group of young adult males to feel like a real man for a second, Also god forbid zoomy debt slaves get to go play with a jet ski at a lake on the boomer's watch, they should be at work making sure most of their income goes to artificially raised rent prices and federal income tax to be trickled to the boomer's wallet while he stares at an oversized puddle of water all day.

Yeah boomers are the worst they will sit there and purposely make everything private and zero access and scream at people who cross 1 inch over a property line because they have nothing better to do.

Quite frankly, I think everyone involved in this situation should die a horrible, horrible death.

A pox on all of them.

Ask and ye shall receive fam.

The boomers remind me of a description about a nature documentary I read, where a giraffe bull so old it was sterile kept killing virile young males; it was too impotent to continue the herd, but strong enough to doom it, thus the humans made the hard decision to kill it from a distance so the young could thrive.

These worthless old fucks make Logan's Run seem reasonable.

Wait how was he on a jet ski with broken arms and a leg? I don't understand this story at all. His limbs were broken before the incident and yet he was riding a jet ski? Isn't that insanely dangerous because of the possibility of falling off?

It looked to me like he, specifically, was just hanging out on the beach.

It's like the old joke.

"Well, you're fucked now."

Boomers : Stupid kids never go outside anymore. They're all addicted to their Tik Toks and Twitters. We should force then to go outside!

Also Boomers : Go into a homicidal rage when you witness a kid being outside and enjoying the nice weather.

 

[Iron Jaguar]

Who the hell goes on a jet ski with broken arms and legs?

 

[Angry Alt Right Nerd]

Uhh this is fake news, I was told that only minorities get released after committing serious crimes

 

[Archduke of Sneedinheim]

Who the hell goes on a jet ski with broken arms and legs?

From what I could tell the crippled guy wasn't, probably just hanging out while his pals rode.

 

[DoomsdayElite]

A Masshole boomer? Oh man. Tie an anchor to each ankle and dump him in the sea.

 

[Vibralldo]

"70 year old attempts to drown crippled 21 year old" is a perfect encapsulation of modern times

HOA perks

Roundhouse HOA members. Throw HOA members off a bridge. Burn HOA members.

You know the copypasta. Fuck HOA's and fuck HOA members in triplicate.

Take the fucker out back and show him eating lead is all his lead brained narcissism deserves

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

Old Man Strength is real. Plus the boomer was a Negro, so he has a +5 chimpout modifier. Even if he hadn't been on crutches, that white boi would have a hard time with the old guy.

 

[monstrous bubo]

Old Man Strength is real. Plus the boomer was a Negro

Are we looking at the same video? Boomer is white - no black man has an arse crack that pale. Plus he looks white in the court footage, complete with what looks like a red birthmark down the left side of his face. What am I missing?
