Dude it's in florida. Near Orlando even. Those are some dumb motherfuckers living down there, for real. All old people and Wal Mart types. The prosecutor was talking about Jesus.
I bet they hang.

Yeah, and everyone from Chicago like Marsupialized is a goddamn Rhodes scholar and a font of enlightenment.

Will you stop this "People from the South are so dumb" crap? As if that's any kind of an explanation or excuse for all this. My observation has long been that there are stump-dump people everywhere, with a few bright people scattered freely throughout.

way to go.

when I got beat up when I was a kid, I just went home and went about my life

Were you hospitalized with a concussion? Did the people who beat you up knock you unconscious, wait for you to wake up, and then beat you some more?

In all honesty yes, more than once
You get up and go home, and start plotting your revenge.
a coward would go home and call the fucking police. I'd have been run out of town.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

Why do I feel an Elliott Smith song coming on?

I can't help but think these girls did this BECAUSE they wanted a real fight. I mean, wasn't this beat down just the first move? Now they gonna show them prison bitchez what they made ov.

Seriously, Marsup. I get your "life is tough, quit bein a pussy" thing -- but by your logic, isn't this going exactly the way you would want it? Plot your revenge or no, if you're a tuffass, you do this shit because you know you want to take it to another level. Would you deprive these girls of that? Would you seriously want them to stay minor league, when they're totally primed to hit the supermax circuit?

Yeah, we're all the richer for that exposure to mindless, indoctrinated violence at a young age aren't we? Be a huge blip in the learning process if that didn't occur. Really rounds out a character nicely.

Yes, you would desperately try to find some way to learn from it afterwards as it's your one and only coping mechanism. Same way that you would from anything unjust and cruel. Outliving your own child after a brutal stabbing, for example.

Marsupialized, just 'fess up and admit that the only problem you have is that they involved the Police.

hilarious!

Thankfully Marsupialized isn't one of those PC people who are against child abuse...

Some people seem to be of the mindset that children need to be coddled and protected from every harsh reality of life at all costs. Let them make no wrong decisions! Let them never learn of the consequences of said wrong decisions!

Tell me, what happens when they grow up and leave the smothering nest and someone fucks with them? What do they do? Curl up in a ball in the middle of the street? Let the person have their way with them, then run and tell?

What kind of person will come out of a childhood like that? This is not a nice, cozy world we live in. If you step into the wrong situation you are likely to be fucked pretty hard. To raise a child away from any sort of hardship whatsoever at all costs, it's not doing the kid a service. That kid will be eaten alive.

To perpetuate this whole 'Oh dear lord they are yelling and punching this poor helpless girl, how brutal! Send them to prison for life!' Is not doing anyone any good. Kids see this and all they think is 'well, I will never have to take personal responsibility for any trouble I ever get into, I will just do whatever and I can always go and tell if I get into trouble'
Why isn't anyone saying 'what was this girl thinking hanging out with these wacked out trashy ass chicks to begin with?' and they say they beat her ass because she was talking shit about them. Maybe she learns it's not such a good idea to talk shit about a bunch of wacked out violent ass white trash chicks you go to school with.
Maybe next time be a little more careful about the situations you put yourself into and the people you find yourself around. Those are just about the most important skills I can imagine a human could have.

I thought you were opposed to the legal system getting involved. If they face charges, then aren't they learning the consequences of their wrong decisions? If you let them get off scot-free for their wrong decision to beat that girl up, then aren't you coddling them?

Yes it's so brave to run and tell on someone when they are fucking with you. That's what we need to teach people, to be more of a crybaby pussy unable to stand up for yourself and fix your own problems. Run to the police. Yes they usually fix things.

Run to the police, or handle it yourself, either way - anything beats just taking it afraid to do nothing - although they beat the shit out of her, they didn't *fully* intimidate her - that's what I'm getting at - good for her.

But then again:

Any child that shows up in a hospital with signs of a beating immediately sends up all the flags. As it should.

OK - good point... perhaps that's more like what really happened...

That's fine for you to say, but not everyone is wired to be capable of that, and I can't believe that you honestly think everyone is, or could potentially be.

Sup, do you think these girls should get any jail time for the beating?

Of course, it's assault and they stupidly videotaped it.
They should be tried as minors is all I'm saying.

I just realized that this fucked up cat fight was over the girl not adding them to their myspace friends list. listen to the audio closely.
