Girls Record Brutal Attack On Teen To Allegedly Post On YouTube
wftv.com

POLK COUNTY, Fla. -- Video was released late Monday afternoon showing a brutal beating at the hands of a gang of teenage girls. Their motivation for the attack was apparently so they could post the video on YouTube.

The victim reported the attack after she was beaten so badly she had to be treated at the hospital. That's when the sheriff's office started looking into it and learned about the video.

When 16-year-old Victoria Lindsay arrived at her friend's house where she had been staying, six girls were waiting. Immediately, they started yelling and one girl began pummeling the victim.

On the video, the girls can be heard encouraging the fight in the background, even taunting Lindsay to fight back, all while one of them held the camera. The victim's family has said it was an elaborate plot to injure and embarrass Victoria Lindsay.

4. The entire South should've been let go. I had one Republican tell me earlier today that...
if we had to lose one city to a terrorist attack or some great calamity--I can't remember which--he'd rather it be San Francisco. I asked him why. He said because they were too liberal. I live down here in Mississippi.

Sometimes I grow weary of this nation's future as a single entity. I fear, in the next century or two, this nation will splinter apart in acrimony and civil war.

6. Over at...
http://majorgeeks.com they run something called "Florida Friday", a collection of High Weirdness and Brutality news stories out of The Sunshine State. It never lacks for content.

I lived down there for a while. I knew I would never figure it out when I experienced my first Florida springtime, when the rains hit the cow manure and the psilocybin mushrooms appear as if by magic. The whole city of Gainesville was tripping, it seemed.

11. Too bad the rest of Florida isn't tripping on 'shrooms.
It would be a much more pleasant place.

9. My guess is that at least one of those kids is a Charles Manson type
charismatic sociopath who can use a combination of charm and threats to get people to do what s/he wants, and the rest are dumb followers without the inner strength to resist.

That's probably what will come out in the trial. One of the kids proposed the idea and the rest were so in awe of being "allowed" to be in his/her august presence that they went along with it.

It's also likely that some of those kids came from abusive homes and learned that "might makes right."

12. At least they were stupid enough to make damning evidence freely available to prosecutors.
Off to jail for these shits.
