Internet Justice: 7 Youths Charged in Brutal Assault
Jan 27, 12
Kids! Aren’t they adorable? Their cherubic little faces, their big dreams, their boundless energy — oh, and the way they gang up on helpless peers, kicking them in the face repeatedly while yelling racial slurs.
Such was the case in Bridgeport, a Chicago neighborhood, where six teens filmed themselves assaulting a 17-year-old Asian boy in an alley. The video shows them bashing the guy’s head with ice, dragging him around and choking and beating him relentlessly as he covers his face and protests. Finally, they take his shoes and his wallet, stealing $180.
They then uploaded the video to YouTube — brilliant, you guys! — then took it down, but it was re-posted (and removed) several times.
