WEST OF LAKE WORTH - The woman on the video is 85 years old, holding a chrome .22-caliber gun and delivering a startling string of profanity.

"This is for all the pigs," and "I'll shoot you," she says in one of her more decorous remarks. Behind her, Michael Alfinez, 18, is directing her in what to say, according to a detective's report.

Alfinez was arrested Tuesday for abusing the woman on the video, in which he is also seen with two men firing shots from a car with the same gun, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said. He was charged with abusing an elderly person, discharging a firearm in public and improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon.

Alfinez, who lives west of Lake Worth, admitted to investigators that he dressed up the woman and got her to say things for the video even though he knows she is senile. He also admitted to placing a black mask on her head and firing shots while driving a car near 20-Mile Bend, the junction of State Road 80 and County Road 880, the report said.

Florida man charged with filming 85-year-old woman for gangsta video

APRIL 23--A Florida man is facing elder abuse charges after he allegedly filmed his senile 85-year-old grandmother wearing a ski mask and holding a gun for a "Gangstas and Thugs" street DVD series. Michael Alfinez, 18, was arrested yesterday by Palm Beach sheriff's deputies, who began their probe after a troubling video was seized earlier this year during a traffic stop. According to a sheriff's report, a copy of which you'll find below, Alfinez admitted filming his grandmother, Marie Huertas, and placing a ski mask on the senior citizen. He also acknowledged telling Huertas what to say on the video. Alfinez is pictured in the mug shot at right; Huertas, in a ski mask, can be seen in the adjacent video screen grab. The report notes that Huertas, who is holding a .22-caliber gun and appears "disoriented" in the video, makes a series of profane threats and statements like, "F--- you if you don't like this," "I'll shoot you," and "Palm Beach County, bitch." When investigators showed Huertas the video, "she appeared to be shocked" at her recorded comments, and remarked, "they are making a criminal out of me." In addition to the abuse charge, Alfinez is facing weapons charges since the video also shows him (and two pals) firing a gun from a moving vehicle. Alfinez said that he got the idea to film his grandmother from an earlier "Gangstas and Thugs" production (which apparently featured another pensioner). Alfinez told investigators that he "knew my grandma could be like that too or better."

I, for one, as speechless as to how stories like this just keep a-comin’-—and can get “spun” so easily by this lowlife’s own parents. Is “blood” thicker than “the law”??
