Yeah, right. Actually 8 teens are in a bit of trouble after the videotaping of a beating handed to a 16-year-old girl.

POLK COUNTY, Fla. – Six teen girls from Mulberry High School videotaped themselves delivering a nice beating to Victoria Lindsay, 16, in a home while two teen boys stood lookout outside. The purpose of the beating was to embarrass the girl by posting the video to MyspaceMySpaceMySpace and YoutubeYouTubeYouTube. The girl was beaten so badly she had to go to the hospital for treatment. For a detailed description of what transpired, keep reading.

Victoria Lindsay, 16, was staying at the home of Mercades Nichols, 17, during spring break. At approximately 8:00 pm, Lindsay arrived at the residence and was met by Nichols, and Brittini Hardcastle, 17, who both began yelling at Lindsay and threatening her. Lindsay went into a a bedroom and was met by April Cooper, 14, who began insulting and threatening her. Cooper, who had been hiding, then struck Lindsay several times in the face, and slammed Lindsay’s head into the bedroom wall, knocking Lindsay unconscious as others were videotaping.

When Lindsay awoke, she was on the couch in the living room surrounded by Cooper, Nichols, Hardcastle, Cara Murphy, 16, Britney Mayes, 17, and Kayla Hassell, 15. Lindsay said it was at that time that all of the suspects began hitting and yelling at her while it was being video taped. At one point in the video, it is plain to see that the suspects blocked Lindsay from leaving the residence.

During the incident, two additional suspects, Zachary Ashley, 17, and Stephen Schumaker, 18, acted as “look-outs” while the attack was occurring. After the attack was over, three of the suspects forced Lindsay into a vehicle and drove her to another location where she was finally released with a threat from the suspects warning her not to contact law enforcement or she would be beaten even worse. Once at a friend’s home, she called law enforcement and was transported to Lakeland Regional Medical Center by ambulance for injuries sustained as a result of the beating.

All of the juvenile suspects were transported to the Juvenile Assessment Center without further incident. Schumaker, who found out the difference between 17 and 18, was taken to the Polk County Jail. All suspects were charged with Felony Battery and False Imprisonment. Mayes, Hardcastle, and Nichols are the three juvenile suspects who forced Lindsay into the vehicle and drove Lindsay to another location. They are charged additionally with Felony Kidnapping.

All of this info taken directly from the Sheriff’s News Release On Arrest Of Teens In Attack.

Good luck with the Myspace hunting. I found a couple, but got a headache and quit. You can see some of the raw video here. It’s nowhere near the worse I have ever seen, but they do get a few good punches in.

    What ugly cowardly bitches. I bet not a one of them would have fought one on one without the other skanks backing them up. I abhor girls like these. They are tough like this in a group, but alone they are shit. I hope their sentencing involves some time actually spent locked up. Then we can see how tough they really are. Stupid little whores.

    And the guys, LOL! I hope they got some good practice being lookouts. Because they look like they will need to be really good at watching their own asses the whole time they are behind bars. Jeez. Was it really worth the chance for anal rape?

    Is it just my imagination, or did the girl in the white tank top who did the majority of the beating look pregnant? If she’s not pregnant, she could sure as hell stand to do a few sit-ups.

    I hope all of these cowardly bitches (and that description INCLUDES the guys) get their asses beat in jail. Repeatedly…

    What is with these dumb shits who fantasize that they live in a confrontation-filled, cut-throat world in which homies stand beside each other and will fight for each other, and so forth. You’d think they were combat soldiers from the rhetoric.

    They are all fat, soft, and out of shape. They aren’t fighting anything but the requirement of clearing a path to the couch to lie down and sleep.

    Now, I’m fat, soft, and out of shape, too. But I don’t pretend that I live in a Hot Landing Zone and have to constantly watch my back.

    Pathetic fantasies of genetic wastes.

    Not one of them has a normal set of eyes! Step-stairs, wide-aways, raisens, doll’s eyes, paint-ons – it’s got to be the damn photographer, otherwise, we should patent and market DD’s ocular profiling and make some bucks!

    ROFLMAO!!!!!! But…..if we take her actions toward this girl into consideration, the latter is at least as likely as the former – maybe more likely…… Would you like fries with that?

    Looks like they picked on the smallest girl in the home. I could not hear what was being said in the video. Is that true for everyone? Do we just get to watch and not hear what the fight was over or is it just my computer?

    I would love to know why all of them decided suddenly to gang up on an invited guest. Why didn’t which ever girl was pissed just go one on one with the thin girl? And the thin girl should have put more effort into fighting back.

    The one who does most of the hitting in the video, I’d imagine a good shot to her big nose would have calmed her ass right down. She was there for show, not a real fight. If she really had wanted to kick her ass because there was a REAL problem, she wouldn’t have hit her some and then stopped to start flapping that mouth. My guess she is the resident “bad ass” and one of the other girls was actually pissed at the thin girl, but got “bad ass” to do her fighting for her.

    Victoria should have fought harder, damn. She needed to get something in her hands to even the odds. I would have done my best to show the “bad ass” some of her own blood. My guess, she wouldn’t have been too bad, at that point, most of them freak when they’re the ones losing blood.

    Victoria should have went to the kitchen instead of a bedroom. At least there, she would have had something to fight “ALL” of them with – knives, frying pans, lots of good weapons in the kitchen.

    And the sissy boys that played look out – hahahaahahahahahahahaha. I don’t even know how to comment on that, so pathetic and such a joke. Enjoy those brilliant choices you made boys – hahahahahahahaha.

    If those guys were where I lived, boys there age would just be waiting on them to make bail. They would get such an ass kicking – just for being SISSIES! I’d love to hear the jail house explanation for, “what are you in for?” Dumbasses.

    You have some LOW standards.

    But odds are, every last one of them would be willing. So I say your chances are pretty good.

    Give the two guys a week in lock up, and I bet they’d be more open to letting you fuck them too.

    I was disgraced by this since I attended Mulberry Senior High School class of ‘07, But yet the sad thing is that all you are saying is true. Every last one would be willing, they are mostly cheerleaders, and they are pretty average looking for born and raised Mulberry residents.

    Mulberry is a small town just outside of Lakeland where just about everyone is related for one reason or another. Every single person here knows (or thinks they know) everything about everyone. It’s a gossip town. Plus everyone has to brag about their achievements, which is why they recorded it, proof. The average age group of a mother is 14-20. I can actually go through my year book and the majority of my graduating class and the class below me either already had a kid or was pregnant. The fight count is ridiculously high. At least once a month there was a bad fight that someone was getting charged or going to the hospital since I was in seventh grade.

    All the students are so super high strung about everything, I was threatened on multiple occasions just for looking at someone “weird” or calling them a bitch with my eyes supposedly. This fight doesn’t suprise me. I actually recall once in 8th grade a group of students ganging up on this one girl and beating her so badly she was in a coma and they thought she wasn’t going to survive, she ended up paralyzed from the waist down and her family and her moved far away. So the only reason this has become a big deal is cause it can be an internet crusade.

    It should have been a big deal for the girl who was paralyzed. Those people should be in jail. Please tell me they prosecuted them. Please don’t tell me her and her family just ran away without seeking justice for their daughter.

    The people who beat her up where in juvi until recently which was a pretty big deal in Mulberry.The parents also got a settlement for the hospital payments, but the purpose of the fight was stupid. The girl was talking to “the bad ass”’s boyfriend. I mean this is the town where the football teams quarterback was arrested for attempted murder the same year he graduated second in the class. Mulberry is it’s own flavour of special.

    I bet all these girls where in Key Club too.

    God, that turns me on. There’s nothing better than fucking a teenage boy that has one of those “I’m-A-Man” mustaches. Especially if you can face a mirror with him.

    Yeah, he has the ’stache of a man, but when his lower lip is quivering, and he has those pain-tears rolling down his nubile cheeks, any pretensions of manhood are shoved right up his ass (along with some other things).

    I keep trying to get to him as I jerk off to their mugshots, but I make it to the blond with the tight mouth, and I can’t even get past her to the hotness with the braces and furtive, downward glances.

    What a bunch of “LOSERS”. I swear I laugh at their dumb asses. Enjoy juvi and jail. It’s funny; they think they’re tough but have NO clue. Wouldn’t last a minute outside of “Mulberry”. Pathetic. Hope victim is alright and I too wish she could’ve got her hand on a weapon and smashed a couple of noses.

    Are those girls at least 14? Because I would fuck every last one of them.

    LMAO. Low standards? Maybe.
    Question, when you eyes are closed what exactly is the difference

    What do you see as the reasons for this? I bet high school students there weren’t that say in the 1930s or the 1950s or even the 1980s. What’s going on there that’s made it into a pretend-gangsta camp?

    There has been a recent increase in drug usage as well as the severity of the drug type in the four years that I was there.

    That and during my stint in Mulberry they super cracked down on a lot of rules like amazing hard. plus this is a community where everyone grows up knowing everyone, so as previously stated everyone knows everything there is to know about everyone creating a lot of tension.

    everything is so hyper pressured from teacher student relationships to student student relationships. It is also a low income town so everyone has to fight to show who is better since they can barely play the clothing war.

    Also if you look into Mulberry’s past there is the expectation that you will marry someone from mulberry get your own place in mulberry and raise your kids in mulberry…cycle repeat. Youth afraid of the cycle = more pressure. so few people actually make it out as i barely did (though i was not born even in Florida let alone mulberry) it’s a place that sucks you in and once you are in you struggle to get out and hopefully the city won’t eat you alive.

    Do know that two or so years ago Mulberry High School was in the press once again for having a teacher who was having inappropriate relations with students. His name was Christopher Ellis; An Algebra, Criminology, Calculus Teacher and Swim Coach. So Mulberry is rather friendly with the media.

I hope their asses are crying now…..”I wanna go hooooommmme, mommmmmy.” I heard one boy this morning on the news, I believe it was Stephen, complain about spending the night in jail when all he did was be at the wrong place or some such shit….sounded like he was just a poor innocent bystander. Bitches…..they’re all little bitches including that sniveling little idiot boy.

    Damn that’s the whole entire link. I just copied and pasted. This has interviews with the sheriff and the Nichols girl’s mom. Earlier, when I watched it – the victim’s face was the only one blocked from view. Now when I went back, the other girls faces are altered or blocked, as well.

    AHHHHHH!!! How could she not hit that obnoxious bitch back???? Mind you, I know she probably did the right thing as they probably would have killed her, but how could you have someone doing that to you and not try to strangle them????

    I remember some crazy parking girl attendant started going psycho on me because she said something to me in Spanish, and my Spanish isn’t that great. So anyway, i got out of my car and was asking her what the fuck her problem was. Some guy that worked there kind of seperated us, and I turned to walk away, and I felt her slap my hair. I lost it and attacked her lol. I didnt get a chance to hurt her or anything thank god, the guy grabbed me and dragged me away, but it taught me just how little self-control I have in situations like that. It was scary, but a learning experience.

    I know what you mean, but it’s so sad that the world has gotten to the place where we urge kids to be violent. Maybe she is just too refined or sensitive to get into bitch-beating.
