8 teens are accused of videotaping the beating of another teen, to post to the web.Lakeland, Florida (CNN/WTSP) – Police say eight Florida teenagers are under arrest after they were accused of beating another teen, videotaping it, and threatening to put the video on the internet.

According to investigators, one girl was jumped by six other girls when she arrived at a friend's home on March 30, 2008.

Police say two boys waited outside as lookouts during the beating.

The girl was taken to the hospital with a concussion, damage to her left eye and ear, and numerous bruises.

The victim's father says the girls wanted to create a video that would become popular on You Tube.  But the mother of one of the arrested teens says the victim provoked the attack by threatening and insulting the girls on My Space.

This must be one of East Memphis' Ad hominem statements...you know, addressing substance rather than name calling!

Hey gmoney, this isn't my nightmare.  Since 73.52% of the population of Lakeland, Florida is white, the law of averages would pretty much dictate that white people commit a greater proportion of the crime there.  Memphis has a black population of 61.41%, so correspondingly, the majority of crime in Memphis is probably committed by blacks.  That’s just logic.  It has nothing to do with dreams or nightmares.  The following links are where I retrieved the figures.

Actually it was humor, given the Lord of the Flies behavior here, but many here seem incapable of understanding humor and sarcasm.

OK I know when I have been beat - you've got me - I am a miserable white male with opinions not formed by the MSM.  I know when I have met my match.  Please have mercy.

East- I personally love sarcasm. I think that it is a tool that too few use. Sometimes, you really do seem serious. I think you need a signal word so we don't start thinking you've gone nuts.
   I find it interesting that all the people that think they are so big and bad always have to take along so many friends. Then they always pick people that aren't the best at defending themselves. If these girls are so big and bad, why don't they make it a real fight and take on a worthy opponent?
