Video of the Day
April 9, 2008 by Marc Lamont Hill
Today’s video of the day comes from Lakeland, Florida, where 8 teenage girls brutally beat a classmate. Apparently, the girls videotaped the beating in hopes of creating a popular video on MySpace and YouTube. Thoughts?

LOL @ ting, blaming it on the gargoyle…
but wait i must ask…is this a trick question?…do you want my honest opinion or do you want a broke down makeshift version?
fuck it, i can only give you the real…
first, i’d like to start by saying, i do not condone violence…
to my understanding, the young lady was lured to a house by some bullies right?…that is the reason why, she should of unleashed the fuckin’ dragon on those bitches…first of all, what the hell was the girl with the dot on her head doing??? WTF?!…god bless her soul…because, i know if that was me and
i told them, i wanted to leave and they didn’t let me…i would of straight up, turned into the HULK and started biting bitches heads off!…god bless ‘er…and what i don’t understand is…why was she at the door explaining herself to those whores?…man, i wouldn’t of been explaining shit..i’d have been like, “yeah i fucked billy. And?”…and just start mollywopping those bitches…white people are different, i swear…damn, i wish i was there to have “white dot’s” back…i swear by god, it would have been raining white girls…those heifers would have been getting tossed like rice…
i’m glad to hear that they were arrested though…because that little bitch in the pink, thought she was ALI…

LMAO @ WYTLK!!!! You are a mess — the chick in the pink thought she was ALI?? LOL
I cant beleive these dumb asses video taped this. How stupid was that? I do think that criminal charges are a little harsh but they beat that girl like she was Rodney King.

I dont get why the victim never fights back. From this video they were fighting her one on one for the most part, she could’ve gotten a couple of licks in somewhere. There is no way in hell I’d let some chick beat my behind then talk to me about it…wtf?

LOL! WYLTK you got me at work with tears about to run down my face from holding in my laughter! I agree completely. I don’t know what pisses me off more, all those kids beating up that girl over some bs or the fact that she didn’t even try to take one of them down with her. WTF?!

bullies usually, by their very nature, don’t pick on people they think will defend themselves. but, wouldn’t you love to know?, thanks for the new word, “mollywopping.” it’s a real humdinger!

Also, it would be interesting to see what these kids are eventually charged with. I have a feeling that they are going to get off lightly.

I wonder will this inspire an endless loop on FOX and ‘nem…

Because of the shock that white girls are capable of such actions (sarcasm), this will have a endless loop on “FOX and ‘nem” for the next few days but then everyone will forget about it by the weekend. Mainly because it’s white on white crime and everyone is desensitized to white on white crime in America unless it directly effects them. Now if this was a bunch of white girls “mollywopping” a black girl (or other minority) or vice versa then this would be an endless loop on every channel.
Quick questions:
1)If this was a black girl in this same predicament as “white dot” girl, would she be “black dot” girl?
2)What if it was an asian or hispanic girl?
3)If it was black girls bustin’ up “black dot” girl, would the term used still be known as “mollywopping”?
4)Any predictions on timing of the made for TV movie?

WYLTK……………..I mean, WOW!! You are crackin me up, but I was thinkin the same thing. I would been “mollywopping” too!! I aint never heard that word before, but it fits. I must creat a new internet ID mollywopper@yahoo.com

sam,
the “white dot” reference, was for the block, they had on the girl’s face…it was a white dot…so if a black girl had a white dot on her face, she’d still be “white dot”…
“mollywop” is slang for a really HARD punch…so anybody can be mollywopped, even you…it’s not just limited to white girls…trust me…
i just didn’t feel like saying, sucka punch, supa sock, drill, dawg, or any of the other slangs used for fucking people up…mollywop fit, how i felt, best.
so please, don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit…

I don’t remember white girls being that tough when i was in school. Were they really doing this kinda cruel shit to each other behind closed doors? I’m shocked…they seemed so friendly and happy all the time.
I’ve been bamboozled!
WYLTK: I was actually laughing out loud at your first comment. I found myself getting heated while I watched the video. I was thinking “I wish those b!$^#@^ would try some shit like that with me niece.” She woulda took at least three of those scrawny chicks out!

As long as you’re not taking direct offense to my last post, then we’re good. I already knew what the words meant and I wasn’t directing it towards you but rather enjoying the hilarity of your word usage and asking hypothetical questions. So no worries nor was there any shit to start.
And I wonder if “white dot” girl would actually have a white dot on her shoulders if she was another race in the video. I’m not trying to make this a complete racial issue either. I usually see a blurred face or a black dot on most videos, so I just found it funny that a white dot was used. But maybe the person that created the video, only had certain tools in the program they used. Whatever the case may be, it was still funny.
And I’ve never heard “mollywop” before, but automatically knew what it meant as soon as I read it. I wouldn’t be surprised if that one gets used around my friends now. My laughter is toward the literal sense of the term. If I was gonna knock the the hell out of my white boss, would it would probably be “billywop”. If it was my brother, would I say “nuccawop”? It’s probably not as funny explaining it like this, but the original thought was funny as hell.

Interesting. I was wondering what people thought about the female analyst suggesting that the attackers shouldn’t be charged as adults for this crime, does anyone agree?

lets compare this to the Jena 6. Regardless of their ages, they were all tried as adults. Now we are contemplating weather this is a violent crime subject to the full extent of the law. I say put their asses away. Lets balance our social justic system.

clifton, anyone looking at this video can clearly see these girls are not adults. hell, for all i know, this video could be complete hoax. on top of that, it didn’t look to me like the girl was getting mollywopped that badly.

Just alone, I think they should be charged for the dumbness of taping themselves. Why would you incriminate yourself like that?
*Sigh*
This reminds me of when I was rolled on in 6th grade. Yeah, Rob, don’t think I forgot. I’m all grown up now, and I’ve been drinkin’ milk.

I can’t even watch this video. I’m so tired of this kind of shit. The world needs a Band-Aid.

LMAO@ WYLTK and Hal!
1)I feel bad for the parent that started shaking their head in disappointment when the news first broke, only to actually SEE the video and recognize their yellow walls, furniture, and bad ass daughter
2)Poor girl should have fought back (although she might have been ganged up on).
3)Obviously you ppl haven’t been in a black greek set! I didn’t even blink an eye w/ this video. But that’s a whole ‘nother story. Therapy is good.

kids gone wild…seriously nothing that I haven’t seen before…I have dealt with a similar situation in real life with middle school kids here in Bklyn…but this video taping mess took it to a whole other level since it basically demonstrated that everything was premeditated…horrible situation nonetheless…
I just don’t get why did this girl fight back…whether you’re the submissive type, the type not to fight back…how many knocks in the head would it take before you realize that these girls were out to hurt you…I seriously think there’s more to this…like this girl had to be in fear of some bigger issue coming to light that she probably thought would have gotten her into some serious trouble therefore the beating was the lesser of the two evils…
I’m sorry though after i heard that chick talk about don’t hit the glass believe nothing within my reach would have been unbroken…
so when are some of you regulars going to track down someone who posts on marc’s blog and give them a beat (oh don’t forget to tape it) just because you didn’t like a comment they made?

James,
They stated the young lady being attacked suffered a concussion. I agree with you that they shouldn’t be charged as adults. I’m assuming you agree the Jena 6 shouldn’t have been charged as adults for attempted murder (and eventually the lesser charge of assault i believe), right?

clifton, i was half kidding in my post. i think the age for being tried as an adult varies from state to state. if these girls are above the adult threshold in florida, then certainly, they should be tried as adults. and i think the age should hold firm no matter what, and be based upon negotiations around previous criminal records. however, i also think that perhaps there should be a uniform age across all states. not sure why states get to control all this age business when it comes to sex, driving and crimes, but something as benign as voting is mandated at 18 by federal govt. seems silly that one state believes children are adults at 16, and other states might say 18. i can’t really see what the logical basis for these discrepancies are. do children in lousiania, for example, grow up faster than children in florida?

i meant, NOT be based upon negotiations involving judgements about age involving previous criminal charges.
