I guess garbage and idiocy like this is exactly why Florida has its own tag on Fark. Dad always said, Air Conditioning and Disney World ruined Florida. I used to think he was crazy, but now I see just how right he was.
I have two girls, 11 and 4 and when I watched that video I couldn't help but think, 'what if?'. Afraid I'd have to get some serious equals if that was my baby taking that beat down.
And remember, we ain't even until I'm ahead. By a long shot.

even if she was outnumbered, did the thought of grabbing something to use as a weapon and defending herself ever go through her mind? She stood there like a punching bag.
Not trying to sound like a smartass, but anyone with common sense woulda tweaked the odds to their favor by arming themself. Then proceeding to use whatever amount of force necessary to defend themself and gtfo of the trap.

In that situation, for whatever reason, 99.9% of people will just take the beating without really doing much. That's like saying why didn't the Jews fight back against the German guards at the death camps - I mean they were going to die anyway. People just don't - I think it's in the why we are wired/not wanting to upset the herd or something.
Edit - weird it put stars for the word J e w s. Didn't know that was a bad word.

Not only did she get beat up by all those girls, loose sight in an eye, hearing in an ear, but there were 2 GUYS standing guard outside the front door so noone could get in or out.
honestly, this makes me more mad than anything else.
the girls are horrible for doing what they did to that other girl. But the fact that there were 2 teenage guys outside not only letting this happen but keeping her in there, makes me want to beat the **** out of them. How the **** could they do that. THEY need to get sent to ****ing jail also. worthless pussies
I almost got the feeling from the story, tho I don't know why, that maybe she somehow understood or thought that seriously fighting back would make it much, much worse for her. That, however, might be totally off base, you would think getting knocked out would mean you would think it was as bad as it can be.

It was probably better for her that she didnt. If she grabbed some thing as a weapon then it would probably be taken & used against her. I think she may have been beaten even worse. This was pre-meditated kidnapping & assualt, she didnt have a chance.

Yeah but for the majority of the fight/beating, the aggressors were practically taking turns. All it would take is a nice smack to the head with a blunt object, and see how fast the rest of em let you go. Smarter move would be taking the camera too. So if they try to blame you all you have to do is show the tape and say "It was X against one, obviously an uneven fight. All i did was even the odds. Then i escaped."
Now, if you had the opportunity to leave, but stayed behind to brutally punish everyone, then ya might have a harder time in court. Which brings us to another lesson in self defense. "Dead people cant file lawsuits."

I dont care what the situation was in that house. The minute you sit there and take the beatings, your odds of winning/surviving drop to 0. Start fighting back and you'll better your chances.
Never, EVER, go down without a fight. Cause if they plan on killing you anyway, take as many of them as you can with you.

Just because they did it at their parents home doesn't mean its the parents fault
I mean I don't know enough about these people but if they were generally good kids otherwise what are you supposed to do as a parent??
Keep your kids locked up all the time?
if you are a responsible parent, your kids aren't gonna go around kidnapping people and beating them up... that's like saying, "well, he may have commited a drive-by, but other than that, he was a great kid with great parents."
well by that logic, the parents and grand parents of every criminal out there should also be in jail
sounds good to me. All the people I've ever met who were/are trash have trash for parents without exception. Sometimes the kids turn out good despite trash for parents, but I've never seen a crappy kid without crappy parents.

There was an awesome special on the Today Show on this. Basically the mother of one of the girls, who is complete trailer trash, tries to defend her daughter by saying the victim shouldn't have "run her mouth" (used those EXACT words) on myspace, and that the victim is just as guilty as everyone else.
Basically girl talks trash, and these cheerleaders get pissed so they decide maiming her is the best punishment. The mother says her daughter did none of the beating, none of the video, and tried to convince the victim to not enter the house..basically trying to make her daughter appear not guilty. Matt Louer questioned "So, how many times did your daughter call the police?" Hilarious, lol
I love how the fatty is the one beating her up. I didn't watch it online, only saw the Today Show special online.

So you'd sit there and take the beatings, assuming theyll let you go sooner or later? They already have the upper hand, why make it easier for them? It was obviously a set up, so how do you know what their true intentions are? Id rather not take that risk. "Maybe if i sit there and be a good little punching bag, theyll get bored and let me go"
Or, "Hell idk wtf they have up their sleeves, but so i know i dont like it. I'm getting outta here, no matter what it takes."

You saw that? Was the mom a fat piece of trash or what?
100 bucks says she was!
not fat, but a bit chunky. Her hair was blonde, down but all frizzed up. Whenever I hear the word trailer trash thats exactly what I think of. I can't find a picture of her though to explain
When the girls were brought to prison, none of them had any remorse and we joking about it with each other. One of them even asked if she was going to be able to make it to cheerleading practice that afternoon. Therefore, I say try and convict them like adults
Unless they DON'T plan to kill you, and you smashing one of their faces with a lamp causes them to go crazy and knock you out and then smash YOUR head with a lamp, a chair, and everything else within reach.
I believe that's called escalation. For example, you pull a knife which prompts me to pull a gun, which prompts your buddy to pull his gun, etc etc.
It's always easy to say that you WOULD do something, but until you are in that same situation you have no right to judge or talk. This girl has probably never been in a fight before in her life, and to get jumped by a large group of people that had planned the attack would be a nightmare for her.

yeah yeah, we know, you'd start eating their snatches. we've heard this story before.

I like fight videos, but thats just bad. I always say never hit a girl but watching that video I wouldn't mind walking in and smashing some heads. 6 Vs. 1 ? Wtf is that.
I just think it's easy to say you'd fight back while on the Internet, but there's a reason it VERY rarely happens in these situations in real life.
Have you ever seen those videos from the wars in the Balkins where they just march perfectly strong and capable men into some field, tell them to kneel and then walk down the line shooting them in the head and nobody tries to fight back? I'm talking about trained soldiers that just take it.
In spite of what you're saying here, probability strongly suggests you would have done the exact same thing this girl did.
