Eight teenagers invite girl over and beat her badly

[bigboywasim]

This girl was setup by a girl who she thought was her friend from her school. She was kidnapped and beaten by many girls while two guys stood guard outside and watched. The video only shows her getting beat by one girl because this is the only part the police have right now. There are five more parts to this video. This girl got beat for 30 minutes and she got poked in the eye and got a concussion. These people are getting charged with felony battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping and will be most likely charged as adults.

The girl needs to use every means possible to bring the attackers to justice, starting with legal means.

Darn straight their being charged with everything they did. I can't believe the woman reporter, "do you think this is just bullying, or is it another level". I hope the girl doesn't get any scars on her face. It's going to be hard enough for her psychologically without her feeling like she's disfigured.

I hate hearing stories like this, I simply don't get what would drive people to do something like this. Did they honestly think they were going to get away with it after videotaping it and beating the poor girl up that badly? God ****** I wish I was a super-powered vigilante sometimes.

You gota ask what the hell goes through some peoples heads

there has to be somthing seriously wrong with them to do that, get them straight into cells, hopfully theyl relise the road their walking down and make a change.

[Jujujason]

'Make a change'??? WTF? I'm sorry KR, but when a dog has rabies, you don't try to get it to 'make a change'...you put it the f**k down. I hope the system hammers the shit out of these kids with the same mercy that they showed that girl.

:::SIGH:::: Sign of the times. It will be interesting to see how the details unfold.

This is a shame. It is one of the worst things you can do to somebody. Those people went to far.

Really going after them in the court system will not do anything, they will get off with hardly a mark on their record.

The girl that got beat will get better, the best justice served will be for her to forgive them and let God deal with them. God won't serve Justice on them if she seeks revenge(going to the courts and trying to sue them is revenge). She must forgive and forget. It is not worth her time.
May God have Mercy on thier souls.

I think they'll probably get adult convictions and some prison time out of this. The follow up story says that the girls were retaliating for nasty myspace messages the victim had been posting, but that video is pretty brutal and a good DA will use it to get a jury's blood absolutely boiling (note to criminal defendants: if you decide to commit multiple felonies, do not videotape yourself committing them!!). At the very least those girls (and two guys) are going to be very, very sorry for quite some time, if only for themselves.

Your notion of tolerance and forgiveness, easily espoused when standing back from someone else’s tragedy, holds no weight whatsoever unless the parties concerned share your belief system. I’m making an educated guess, especially bearing in mind their appalling actions, that the protagonists of this crime don’t. So whilst your notion of faith in a higher power may resonate with you, it will mean jack shit to stop these scumbags ruining someone else’s life in the future, or serve any justice to this girl, her family and her nightmares.

There may or may not be an afterlife, but we don’t live in it right now, we live in a world where crimes like these will ruin a life – this life. Your policy of justice in the next dimension will do absolutely nothing to prevent crimes of atrocity such as this in the future.

I didn't at any stage mention God so, no. If you believe that then no worries, but thats not what I said.

[JKDBrando]

If enough people are nice enough, if enough people are forgiving, if enough people do not commit crimes then they will not exist.

I agree that what happened is completely brutal and should not go unpunished. Which it won't but it doesn't mean your a Saint if you go and ruin their lives also. It is just as bad.

This is where we get confused in life that we want justice so badly that we will ruin another persons life to get it. How is that justice. Turing the other cheek is not what I am saying. Letting them know what they did is so wrong and forgiving them heartfully will actually hit them the worst.

It is a foriegn concept for us to believe it this way because all the brain washing that has been going on forever that most are doomed to be selfish little people whose highlight in life is being cool when they leave high school their reality will change when mommy is no longer there.

Tell it to Tibet. Can you give us one example of this in the history of mankind?

[JKDBrando]

eutopian idelaism is crap. That is not my view at all. Those guys creep me out but I do not dismiss them because they are different....

There is a thing called The Bible: The Old Testament, The Bible: The New Testament, The Book of Revolations, and all of the Gospels from the Witnesses of Jesus.

You have forgot about these? It is not just a cute story for you to read and believe is fiction. When the day comes and Jesus Judge's everyone what will his Judgement be on you? Wicked or Righteous. Who know's when that will happen, but if you have Faith you might be on the better end of the Judgement. You may not have the Faith of the Creator but be an overall nice person, who does all the right things because they are right to do and help others and stand up to the bad that also might be on the better side of the Judgement.

I am not promoting a religion I am just expressing how confused we all are. We were brought up this way which is not our fault. But if you are told that it is wrong and you go against it anyway then you have chosen your side. Being Righteous does not mean you can not have sex, fun, a friendly brawl or have nice things that you don't need. That is the misconception of humanism that makes being good bad.

Wake up guys. I know most see some of the points while disregarding others but that is up to you to learn and finding your way back to the good.

Why go to work for 40 years and then die? Why make ourselves obiest beyong belief, why go to war, why hate someone because they are different then you. This is all wrong.

If I had my way right now I would suggest a world wide stand off where as many people, I am talking billions just leave work for a week and collapse this whole world and start over. Go back to what is important. Food, Water, Family and Friends. Go back to the basics.
