It will go a long way toward a guilty verdict however since one of the requirements for the charges is proof of harm. I would defiantly consider that some pretty good proof. Not to mention that this promising young lady is now being home schooled for the remainder of her high school years because she is to scared to go back.
At least its good to know that everyone hates these people and anyone related to it.(yay for humane justice!!). Hell if i were a local, i'd vandalize,harass and sorts of mean things. Sure i'd stoop to thier level, but nothing beats what i've said "humane justice!" :D.
Even if lets say one of the girls were "innocent." There was no reason for them to not do anything, even if they did. apparently they didn't try hard enough.
The thing about the boys ticked me off to. go to heck you boys!
I saw the video on myspace this morning. I got two words. DAY-UM
I don't mean to be blunt, but that girl should have fought back. She stood there trying to explain the situation but got her ass beat. She should have put on her big girl panties and fought her battles. She said the comment on myspace, they found it, got angry, and beat her ass. She should have owned up, and fought back. She would have lost because it was six against one, but she would have had a shred of dignity left in her. I swear, girls no days act retarded and have no common sense. Common sense would tell you to defend yourself-even if you KNEW you would lose.
Now for the legal stuff, those six teens should be imprisoned for quite some time. They had no remorse for the victim and were nonchlant about it. I think a max of two years and community service would do them some good. If not, let those prison inmates give those teens a REAL beating. Those girls couldn't even fight! Their punches were something my little sister would have given.
-I would rather die on my feet than on my knees.
Something that girl who got her ass kicked should remember. I say, you got the the balls to say it on myspace, say it in person.
That's a real ignorant stance to take. I hope your re-consider your thoughts. We don't know what comments she made on Myspace, or in what manner. She was invited over in a friendly manner, and did not expect to find what she did. It's easy to say from the comfort of your own seat that she should have simply fought back. I'd like to see what you would do in that situation.Quote:

Yet, if you are seriously threatened and beaten fighting back should really be on your 'to do' list. It's legitimate self-defence. I mean they beat her bad enough to give her a concussion. Not defending yourself in such a situation is a pretty stupid thing to do (if you can help it of course, many people freeze up in these situations).Quote:

Either way, it's our natural human instinct to either fight or flight. Most people, I think (depending on the situation), tend to cower in fear. This doesn't make them cowards. My point is exactly that, it's easy to say "oh why didn't he/she just fight back" from the comfort of our own chair. When you're blindsided into a violent situation yourself, it's not so easy to make quick decisions. Instinct takes over.Quote:

Stuff like this upsets me to think that they can be that cruel especially in a gang of girls instead of just one, they have ruined her life forever because of a lousy myspace comment!? and not even meant in a certain way they took it makes it even worse, i hope they are jailed for life or get limbs removed from them or something because that poor girl has lost her hearing and her sight in one eye and ear. Disgusting as it seems this happens everywhere which is the scariest thing, yes. This was more brutal than most attacks i hear of but still the fact that they filmed it proves them to be sick people beond imagination, i would never hurt someone that much to make them on the verge of death. (maybe not that bad) but still i hope you understand how i feel about this point.
Honestly, I do not feel as if my comment was iggnorant. Yes I agree it is easier to say "Oh I'll fight back" from the comfort of our chair, but if someone is threatening your life to an extent of serious damage, you need to defend yourself. I been in fights before, not like that but fights none the less. I would HONESTLY try to talk it out first, but if the person made their intentions clear that they would want to fight, Ill put my words away and start throwing fists. She may have lost the fight if she would have fought back, I know that. six against one is an unfair fight, but she should have at least got in one good punch. I don't care who they are. Someone who lays their hands on you says that they have power over you. I ahte when that impression is put upon me. So in the same situation, Hell yeah I would have fought back. I would have lost, but I would not have let them hit me either.Quote:
