For those who say YouTube and other sites like Facebook aren't to blame for the Victoria Lindsay beating, what do you say now?After all, after the Lindsay beating, I reported on another beating in Fort Worth, Texas.
In Clarksville, Indiana, another beating, one which police believe was inspired by the Lindsay case. This one took place on April 12th. At Thunder Over Louisville, the opening event in the Kentucky Derby Festival, a group of girls arranged the ambush in a parking lot. One suspect called a classmate to meet her there. When the girl arrived, she encountered five other girls.
The victim actually threw the first punch, but she soon found herself at the receiving end of a beating as the other girl bashed the victim in the head with rocks.
Clarksville Police Chief Dwight Ingle said, "She grabs those rocks ... I mean, this kid could have been killed. There's a possibility of deadly force being used there. She was hit at least two times we could make out on the video with the rocks."
The fight lasted only a couple of minutes. The video, recorded on a camera phone, soon made it way onto Photobucket.
"We're having more and more problems with what the kids are putting on the Internet, it's like they get in a fantasy world," Ingle said. "There's consequences to this."
Police say the victim suffered extensive head injuries and a chipped tooth. What's unsettling, is that according to police at least three adults stood by and watched but didn't try to stop the fight. All the girls involved, including the victim, ranged from ages 12 to 14 years old.
