Victoria Lindsay Beating Video

Extracted from http://www.digitalalchemy.tv/2008/04/victoria-lindsay-beating-video.html

Victoria Lindsay is the victim of a vicious attack by her classmates, who took turns beating her and filmed the entire incident for YouTube. The 16-year-old cheerleader at Mulberry High in Lakeland, Florida, was targeted because of "trash talking" on MySpace and text messages.

Cheerleader Beating
The video, intended for posting on MySpace and YouTube, (scroll down to see the graphic video footage) shows the aftermath of a 30 minute ambush and beat down. As it starts, Victoria is being punched in the face by April Cooper, the 14-year-old leader of the group of 8 teens (6 girls and 2 boys) who attacked her. Why so vicious? April explains, "That's what you get, mother******!"

Victoria tries to get off the sofa and escape through the door, but April blocks her exit after another girl lands a couple hits in. The cameragirl provides running commentary on each hit, "Oh yeah, baby! Oh yeah!"

As April resumes her beat down, another girl (you can't make this up) says, "Don't hit the shelf!" Worried about furniture damage, April backs off a little and gets into a short discussion on fairness with Victoria. During the entire attack, Victoria never fights back.

Blame MySpace
According to the Polk County Sheriff's affadavit, the six girls involved were April Cooper (14-years-old), Britney Mayes (17), Cara Murphy (16), Brittini Hardcastle, Kayla Hassell (15) and Mercades Nichols. Two boys, Zachary Ashley (17) and Stephen Schumaker (18), provided cover while the girls delivered the beat down. Do they feel any remorse for what they did?

Following their arrests the girls joked in a holding cell. One asked if she would be able to make it to cheerleading practice the next day, while several others joked that they wouldn't be making it back to the beach anytime soon, he said.

"They seemed to have absolutely no remorse at all," Judd said. "They were just going to beat her. And beat her they did."

According to her father, Patrick Lindsay, Victoria, the victim, had a "history of anger problems" and was even put on probation after a fight with her mother. Of course, he blames MySpace for the beating: "As fair as I am concerned, MySpace is the anti-Christ for children."


some comments:

Ohh yeah baby, ohh yeah. Just simple kids stuff. You're all idiots for blaming Myspace. Grow a pair and get a grip on reality. Our children do this kind of thing all the time and have for years. Has nothing to do with Myspace at all. Ahahaha "anti-christ for teenagers" stupid oblivious christfags.

Youtube existing has no influence on wether or not they would have done it....having a video recorder has no influence of what they did...a bunch of girls beat up another girl...because the victim was a bitch and thought she was all that...she probably threatened them....no they shouldn't have done that! im not on either side... i believe they should have roughed her up a little bit...not kicked her ass...Cheerleaders today are about ego...always have been... multiple girls have probably had this happen to them...we just hear about it because it's on youtube... im sorry but Myspace shouldn't be banned because numerous amounts of people use it as a power and security blanket..and we shouldn't block youtube for allowing usually funny, awesome, famous videos to be posted...the creators weren't creating it so they could get as many crazy anorexic cheerleaders to kick their friends asses or so people could talk trash to one another...adults are worse then kids about talking crap... go to a girlscouts meeting or a little tykes beauty pageant....there are more fights and verbal abuse then in high school!!Don't blame the millenium for popping out devil children who have no morals...blame the sixties for producing babies who get addicted to crack in the seventies have 8-'s babies who get drunk and high just so they can have sex with the hottest person..producing another generation of children whom parents...don't love their spouse, smokers, addicted to drugs, alchohol, and all-in-all, just don't care...some people(high schoolers) are trying to make it right...stop blaming US!(the kids) FOR OTHER PEOPLES ACTIONS!!! that's prejudice...like saying that all germans hate jews.. not all highschoolers are immoral just because stupid cheerleaders(not all) decide to teach a girl a lesson in the most brutal disturbing haneous most innapropriate way possible..but i agree education these days sucks and maybe if they spent more money with fine arts, and sports kids wouldn't have to spend their time insulting the other
