Report: Teens Behind Florida YouTube Attack to Be Charged as Adults

By now most of America is aware of the scandal and controversy about the 6 teens in the state of Florida who all conspired to lure a former friend to their home and enact an "animalistic attack" as retribution for this individual "talking smack" about them on her Myspace page. These six teens as a result of there stupidity and desire for notoriety by posting the video on You-Tube are now being charged as adults with felony battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping in which all charges carry a hefty prison sentence. To take a critical look at this incident we must first factor in many components. Since the story caught wind it has been sensationalized by the Media and to some extent has become larger than life. If we were to removed the media aspect of this incident would it be viewed with the same magnitude its has been viewed to captivate audiences? Its safe to say, No. But if this is any indication or reflection of the current state of teens in America.. Thomas Hines may have had a point after all. But seriously i will never condone nor find any grounds to justify what these teens did to their unsuspecting victim god only knows would could have happened if these individual had a more sinister objective in mind. But this one isolated incident cant not be viewed as it would be viewed 10 or even 5 years ago due to the current climate of our country and advances in technology. In my personal opinion all 6 of this teen are fucking stupid .. first off someone insulting you on their own myspace page does not warrant a beat down. If how people view you and think of you weighs that heavily on your mind you need to take the time and re evaluate some of your personal issue, like your self esteem and self worth. Two for you to have the audacity to put the video on the world wide web as a badge of honor shows no remorse for what you've done and although i don't feel these children should be imprisoned for the remaining duration of their lives they deserve a good hard slap on this fist. And to the parents of the accused who justify the actions of their children and don't see why this incident is ," such a big deal". The state of Florida should impose a fine on you or at least mandate some type of psychological evaluation and find out whether these individuals are suitable parents. Stupid is what stupid does and this whole thing is stupid.. really really stupid as if America doesn't have more pressing issues to worry about than 6 teens beating the crap out of each other..... by the way does anyone know when the wars going to end... heres an idea this teens are so eager to fight suit them up and ship them out that's one way to settle a score lol
