The word COWARDLY does not begin to describe it. If you want to see the eyes of evil, look into these girls’ eyes. 8 people beating 1 person? Over what? Some stupid little thing I’m sure. I’m sure their punishment will be much less than they deserve. These are BAD people. Straight up. BAD. They will only grow up to make this world a more hateful place. Thanks a lot bitches.

No matter what a person says or reguardless of who they are whether they be snob of the town or b**** of the century NO ONE deserves this!!!!!!!
Imagine if it was you and your hearing and vision may be permanently damaged which could have so been preventable!!!!! you wouldn’t be saying tough apples then and no it doesn’t happen that often where people get jumped for 35 minutes and it causes irrepairable damage for the rest of your little life. Not only will she always remember and be affected but she will have to learn to live with the consequences of these ugh… whats the word for them animals yes thats it sick animals, their not humans they don’t have any heart!!!

I feel so sorry for what happened to Victoria and I think that it is just gross and disgusting that youtube would allow people to put such horrible video on the internet, I think that is irresponsible. They should start to screen all the videos that people want to put on there website. I would like to get a contact address or email to tell Victoria how my heart goes out to her. Please send it to my email preciousdynasty87@hotmail.com

oh, another thing… a lot of people like the sheriff are saying the beating was “animalistic behavior.” In all honesty, animals don’t really do things like that. In the wild they hunt their food, or dogs will attack for protection or if taunted. But only human beings have the planning capacity for this
>> Plan / Coordinate / Capture,
>> Forced car kidnap
>> 30 minute repeat tag-team torture
>> gloat / preen / laugh about beating

Guys, I know you all mean well by calling this “animalistic behavior.”, but in truth, animals are not really capable of that level of brooding evil.

Yep, pretty damn gross —
You six abusive a-hole girls — you could have just given her a few bitch slaps for temporary redness - no other injuries. Im not advocating violence at all, I’m just saying at worst it could have been 3 or 4 slaps. Yeah — you six would have still gotten arrested, but it would have been under breach of peace / probably would’ve been nollied out of court as a little cat fight. Victoria would have learned her lesson about trash talking (if thats even what she really did) and you six a-hole girls could then be proud of yourselves like the queenie-cheerleader-demons you truly are. Heh… enough wasn’t enough for you… aye? You six filthy beasts gave yourselves good jail time over this Victoria stunt. Idiots. It would be pretty cool if you six girls got some good vigilante justice in prison… example… big mama serving you girls a good smelly luvin…. ahhh, you’ll probably end up liking it. You should make some good friends in womens prison, so actually you six chicks can look forward to a good life pleasing skank women behind bars. You six girls really really suck. F.U. All

I can see both sides of this debate. I grew up in a bad neighborhood of Chicago and recently moved to Iowa. (Huge change) Im not sure however that ALL of this media coverage is based on Victoria being white or female for that matter. I believe its the shock it created within the community. I can say first hand it is shocking to hear of a heinous crime in a small town. In the bigger cities it is more common and less “interesting” to the public. It is a dream of us to believe a person’s religion, race, gender, age, and even sometimes money wont offer more “interest” throughout the nation. I think both sides have great points and its a hard subject to side with. We can only teach our future this isnt right, it shouldnt happen, and if you chose to do so you will be facing consequences.

Well, about video recording fights and posting on the Net, consider these recent CNN broadcasts:
>> some months back a cell-phone video of an arabic 17 year old girl getting beaten/stoned to death in her village for loving a 17 year old boy from another religion
>> some months back some black girls recorded a girl beating, good samaratin driving by in his car stopped the fight
>> last month 6 cheerleaders beat up Victoria

See, all had air time on CNN. Arabic, Black and White. All had the vids posted on the net. But I firmly believe the reason that Victoria’s beating is getting so much more attention is because it hits home with White America. Of course we expect muslims to stone a girl to death. Of course we expect some ghetto black chicks to beat a girl down. But… we really do not expect cheerleaders to act like pitt-bulls and maul another girl. Its shock value, and CNN knows it. It draws more viewers, and of course CNN profits from it. That same girl-beat-down video from those black chicks did get some attention, true. But that black-on-black-girl-video simply cannot capture the media attention the way Pretty White Cheerleaders can. I bet most of you already forgot that video of the black chicks, right? I didn’t forget it, because it was disgusting and horrible to watch, just like the Victoria attack.
See, the news doesn’t help. They make money from Victoria’s suffering. Poor Victoria, I don’t care what she said about those other cheerleaders, she didn’t deserve that kind of beating.

Well, there was a 22 year old white girl that was found dead from being shot did you hear about that one? The only reason you even heard about Victoria is because they were stupid enough to tape in and post it on the internet.

Well, what ChupaCaBrooklyn is true. Pretty White Girls have more TV/CNN/etc broadcasting power. Thats the reason why the vid is so popular, it draws viewers to the TV who in turn watch the high cost
Toyota Commercials. Seriously, it all comes back to the dollars. If it was a group of Latino or Black chicks, the viewing public would say “”"oh well, thats what to expect from a bunch of ghetto home girls”"”. But the Suburban Pretty White Cheerleader has a special shock value, one that brings money to the broadcasters. I will say this…. White/Black/Latino/etc girls gang beating another girl is very disgusting, sickening to watch. My point still stands, White Cheerleaders bring more media attentions.

I really dont understand why people are thinking way too much into this…about the racism… if you think no one would care, do it, tape it and post it on the internet and shut the hell up.
It doesnt matter what color she is, how she really was, or what she did. Maybe they could have hit her once but no one deserves to be beaten like that. By the way they were kicking the crap out of her you would think she killed someone.

I hope the victum, Victoria gets better. This was too brutal for just some minor comments on Myspace. At the very least it should have only been one on one. In the video, the girl is trying to leave and not even given the chance because three of the assailants are blocking. They are even beating her as she’s trying to leave. That’s just outrageous. There should more laws to prevent the showing of humiliating events like these on the internet. I saw on the news one of the accused’s familys has even enlisted a sleazy media lawyer. I hoped those charged are also convicted.

I pray that Victoria will come to a place where she is stronger and more powerful than ever. I pray that she won’t consider the world to be this cruel and that she will separate those 8 kids from the good people who are out there. They are few and far between, however, they do exist. She is an Angel and was put in a pack of wolves. I’m sorry for her experience and I know I speak for MANY when I say “I wish I were there. I wish I could have given a punch or two back. I would have done everything possible to protect you”. Victoria, there are kids all over the world with similar experiences and were’nt video taped. Please come to a place where you can speak out for these victims and stop these heartless crimes. God Bless and I’ll be waiting for your interview on Oprah.

@linda:

Well, Linda, I’ll up you one and say if this was a bunch of young men, nobody would give a shit. To say that race isn’t a factor on how much press this is getting is just naive. 19 y/o Samantha Padilla got shot on the 110 Freeway in L.A. yesterday. Were you aware of this?
