The councilman's camp says de León was handing out toys to children at a community center when a group confronted him in an aggressive way. De León tried to get away from the group, and he was head-butted by the man prior to the video being taken, his office says.After the video surfaced, de León spoke to Eyewitness News about the altercation.
"Then at that moment I let him go. Another melee ensued. He turned the corner, he threw a punch at me - a full blown punch, hit me right in the face, threw a second punch at me, missed me." "Kevin de Leon is a disgrace. Video footage clearly shows him and his supporters initiating this assault while Mr. Reedy stands with his hands up. Not only has Kevin de Leon lost all political legitimacy, his claims that he was the one attacked here simply underscores how he's lost touch with reality."
"The escalating rhetoric is hitting a fever pitch, transcending from verbal threats into actual acts of violence and must end before more serious harm or loss of life occurs," de León's statement said. "Violence is not free speech and has no place in politics or democracy."
Todo un Latino RACISTA contra los LATINOS !!
LA will still allow him to re p represent them, Hilarious 😂
Leave kdeleon alone! Poor guys he’s been through a lot. It’s not his fault he was at that meeting that night. Wrong place at the wrong time. Period.⚫️
This country is looking more like a 3rd world country with each passing day. I miss common decency.
Someone really dropped the ball on this perfect opportunity to bring back Worldstar and no one yells it out
Kevin just assaulted that man
He assaulted yet another person because they asked him a question
If the city wont hold them accountable the people will.
Reading some of these comments, most people do not even blame the guy with the phone, he was totally instigating the whole thing by being in Leon's face and reopening a door Leon closed. I am going to love all the people that going to defend him going to say.
ABC 7 always with the lie headlines.
Quickest fall in political history. He should of owned it and just laid low for a year or so. Memories would of faded. 🤦♀️
He’s such a disgrace. What an embarrassment.
Terrible journalism, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Yet again using passive voices to provide cover for elected officials and their blatant violence caught on camera. Racist criminal Kevin DeLeon shouldn’t just be terminated from his position, he should be locked up.
That was a sustained assault, not a passive involvement
The hateful and intolerant left
Councilman involved fighting lmao. KDL actively choked out a protestor.
kdeleon needs anger management classes therapy and jail time!
KDL lies when the cameras are on. He needs to go and The Democrat Party must remove it. Worst human alive is kdeleon resign and get out! Your no longer wanted or needed! Racist bigoted jerk!
.abc7 how was he involved?
passive voice going hard at work i see
How was he Involved? 🤔
Deleon is being a narcissistic at this point. Getting attacked was not ok but dude read the room. Go.
He should have used his 'ghost gun' that has the ability to shoot 30 caliber clips in half a second.
Involved in *another* fight during an event, video shows. ResignKDL
LA IS BACK! EnronChairman
KDL shoved a Black man who did not touch him and continued to keep his hands up as he was attacked.KDL has a history of assault.
How was he “involved”.
Too much egg nog
It's almost like people don't want him.
So now all MSM take credit for posting a half assed video not showing the full events of what transpired. 🤡
How was he involved ?
Bro - just resign
This guy needs to go! Disgrace.
Too bad Kevin is okay. He's the worse.
This guy is a pompous prick with the nerve to wave after being forced to leave the meeting. Good he got clocked in the face. More evidence that he needs to go!
You mean Kevin Leon? He added the “de” to lie to constituents. He is a grifting, lying, vile man.
1) Dont believe anything he says: “This is a ghost gun. This right here has the ability with a .30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. Thirty magazine clip in half a second.” If he was doing charity work, there were tons of cams going. He’s a liar.
The fact that Democrats allow such a rabid racist to remain on the city council while collecting 200k plus a year shows that racism is acceptable to them.
I don’t see any swelling or blood on his forehead At least some redness Where’s the lady who got the elbow Does she have any Proof Kevin I’ve seen numerous videos of KDL laying hands on people though. RESIGNKDL
Pillow fight. Guy is a racist, end of story.
RESIGNKDL
Self defense. Leave him alone
Total loser. Resign now
KDL is not the pushover you thugs thought he was.
Sounds like this protestor fucked around and found out.
Lmao was he supposed to politely tell the gentleman “please don’t headbud me”. People think it’s okay to assault people in high position and expect them to not react.
Violence, (in any form) shouldn’t be tolerated no matter who it is! Respectfully, perhaps individual who chose to physically attack KDL specifically along w/ his Staff was expressing their understandable frustration involving Councilman not resigning?! 🤔
not the first time
Time for the Racist to Go !!!!
He escorted that paid antagonist out, on his head haaaaaaaa. Show what led up to this
his xmas hat fell off, sadge
The hero we need.
Bro let it go. Get off the coka
Looks like assault & battery by an elected official to me
Dude head butted him and assaulted a few of the volunteers! Good job KDL!!
KDL is crazy and nuts needs to be in jail for assault
Resign Kevin De leon
Looks like he attacked someone
How was the council member involved?
