WTF do you do with people who act this way? :mad2:
Apparently some of them were arrested.
i would hunt them down individually and HURT them :(
Those seven would get eaten alive in jail. Bring them there for a while.
Um.... it's a fake.
maybe it went too far and the kid needed stitches, but how in the hell does a 7 -on-1last over three minutes and get such good video coverage? they were posturing. They were youtubing.
No wonder no charges so far.
I disagree (shock)
We'll see. I appears that names, numbers and addresses are being posted on the attackers now.
It is also being reported that most of the assailants were Asian as well; ruling out a racially motivated crime.
That really doesn't look fake. Fights like that happen around here all the time, and are routinely video'd by their friends or bystanders.

“We’re pretty confident that we’ve got the makings of wrapping this thing up,” McCarthy said. “We’ve got six people in custody. We’ve got two more people identified, who we’re out looking for right now.”
McCarthy said the attack was not racially motivated, but was in retaliation for an earlier incident, in which 20 people attacked two teens.
“It appears to be retaliation for a previous assault. We’re confident that we’ve got the right people in custody. We think that we’ll be charging them very shortly.”
“This isn’t new, unfortunately. This is a dynamic that’s been going on for a while,” McCarthy said. “Almost common, let’s put it that way. We just had an incident with a homeless getting man knocked out on a train platform, right? We were able to make arrests on that very quickly, but it’s the same exact thing. They did it on purpose, they taped it on purpose and then they put it up on YouTube.”
Asked if that’s just an invitation taunting police to find the suspects, McCarthy said, “I don’t think they think in those terms, I don’t. I think they’re thinking, you know, ‘Let’s brag about this crazy stupid thing that we’re doing.’”
“Looking at these kids, you think they know what consequence means, quite frankly?” McCarthy added. “I don’t think they know what consequences are.”
McCarthy said charges will come shortly against the six suspects now being held, and the other two wanted people are expected to surrender.
There were some incidents similar to this one where school students would record other students being beaten up and then put it up on youtube.
The solution ended up being that if kids were seen in these sorts of video's, whether they were the attackers or just bystanders, were expelled. There haven't been any more recently.
That's not to say it's not still happening, but just out of school uniforms, although i think the incidence has really dropped after a huge amount of publicity in the media about it.
I really believe there should be (if there isn't already) some kind of task force in the police to deal with this kind of behaviour. It's just disgusting.

No necessarily. "Asian" is very broad. Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans are quite capable of mutual racism.
idiots, what where they thinking? ganging up on him was one thing but recording it?
there's really no shock value here, find a boy hasn't gone through highschool without getting bullied and/or bullling? chances are that he was extremely lucky to slip between the cracks and chances are it means he saw a lot without getting involved. with the rare exceptions,this is just part of highschool life: girls give each other eating disorders and boys beat the crap out of each other, not always but for the most part these stereotypes exist because every highschool in the history of public education has strenghened them.
Um.... it's a fake.
I don't think so. This is a local story. The word is that the person taking the video was part of the group doing the attack.

I agree - I was paraphrasing the articles as I was reading them.
I think the implication was that it wasn't a black/white/asian/red/gold/star/ type of racism ;)

You hope they eventually meet up with someone who goes all Fat Kid on their ass:

Sounds like they were following Zip's advice.
I don't get the whole gang beating metality. It used to be people would fight one on one. There's no honor any more.

You haven't seen West Side Story have you? Or Braveheart for that matter.
Meh, they should just kill each other. Fewer hotheads for the future.
We just had
this happen in our neighborhood last weekend. And last month a few blocks away, another beating took place with 6 guys on one. No deaths that time, though.
They just need some redirection, like towards Wall Street.

Tony and Bernardo fought one-on-one. Sure, it was right after Bernardo offed Riff, but it wasn't a gang-up.

we all have our e-penises these days, so people don't fight in order to prove themselves, they fight in order to beat the crap out of whoever they are fighting. and when the whole proving yourself bullshit is out of the way, there's really no advantage that isn't fair game.
