YOUTUBE and MYSPACE didn't gang beat her.

Many of you know about the girls who ganged up on their former friend and proceeded to beat her for trash talking them on myspace. They even taped it to supposedly post it on youtube. I just want on touch on a few different opinions I have noticed.

First, these girls deserve to be tried as adults, even the ones who didn't beat her. I saw an interview of one moms of a girl who just watched and supposedly warned the victim before hand. The reporter asked her how many times her daughter called the police. And in that question lies the truth. The ones who didn't touch her and only watched are just as guilty for letting it happen and doing NOTHING! And the ones who did beat her caused so much damage that they should be tried as adults.

Now some think that the girl deserved the beating for talking trash about her former friends. While I don't believe she was right to talk trash about the other girls, the beating she received wasn't justified because of it. That kind of mentality is exactly what is wrong with the world. If it was just a slap to the face then it would have been justified, but beating her unconscious and then beating her more is horrible no matter what she said.

And for those of you who blame youtube and myspace for what was done, you are not placing blame where blame is due. These websites didn't cause the violence, the six girls caused the violence. The problem is that people blame society and not the guilty or the parents. Didn't these parents teach the girls that this kind of behavior is wrong. Shouldn't these girls know better than to do these things. Stop blaming society and start taking responsibility for your actions and blame the people who commit these crimes.
