You’ll Want To Close Your Eyes For This One

I can’t believe what I just witnessed. I just viewed a video of a gang of kids beating up a defenseless teenage girl. Why did they do it? To get the bragging rights to having a shocking video on YouTube.

The article I read told the story of eight teenagers (EIGHT!) who lured another student into a home…and simply beat her…for 30 minutes.

Besides YouTube being involved, MySpace was somehow at the beginning of the story. Apparently, one of the attackers hacked into the victim’s MySpace account, not once, but twice. I didn’t see any details about that activity, but when you hear something like that, it’s usually because the hacker wants to defame the account and/or pretend to be the person (the victim in this case) and start something.

During the attack, the girl was pleading with them to stop. She tried to leave, but was kept from the door. Two boys were outside keeping watch, while the six girls remained inside taking turns using the girl as a punching bag. At one point, you could hear one girl in the background, “Not the shelf, not the shelf!” That must have been the girl who lived there and didn’t want her stuff messed with. Beating the girl was okay, but the fragile glass shelf had to be protected.

I am sickened by this and I hope in some way that this finally causes people to wake up and realize just how bad things are with some children today. They’re desensitized to violence, have weak and distorted values, if any. They’re willing to throw their lives away in exchange for a few minutes of one infamous event.

I won’t link to the video, but I have provided the video of the parents who have spoken out against this tragic event. At the end of the video, the father said that at one point his daughter was pleading to be beaten by just one of them. The response by the attackers was, “No, we’re all going to beat you.”

Pure evil.
