My Take On The Florida Cheerleader Beating...

Dear Diary,

Ok so I'm guessing that alot of you have heard or seen the recent news on the 6 girls who brutally attacked a 16 year old girl named Victoria Lindsay. I didn't know this happened until a friend had said something about it in her blog. I don't watch much TV so that is why I'm just venting on this now. I've viewed a few videos of some of the beating, the courtroom, ect. I have some points I would like to make...

*This is the worst and most brutal attack(from what I have seen) on anyone..specially between teen girls. Beating on her for 30 minutes...they could have killed her.

*This attack was uncalled for!! If these girls did not like what the victim had posted on her myspace/facebook accounts...then talk to her about it. They didn't need to beat her up..alot of teens think that bodily harm is the only way to get their point across to the victim.

*The 6 girls that were arrested for committing the crime were still laughing, joking , and asking police officers if they were going to be out in time for cheerleading practice the next day!!!!! Yeah...ok how DUMB can those girls be??? Don't they realize the seriousness of what they did???? They need to be a taught a lesson and trying them as adults is the only way to make it clear to these girls-the seriousness of their crime and to learn that their actions have consquences!! If I had a daughter that was one of the attackers-first off-I would not post bail for her-I would see to it that she be put in lock down, go to a real prison to spend a night or two there to learn if she didn't shape up-that is where she will spend time, sent to boot camp where she will learn respect for herself and others, and other consquences the court would add. Right now I only see a slap on the hand for what they did!!!

*Where are their parents??? I see these girls as the type that think I can do whatever I want and not get into trouble-I blame the parents because it's obvious to see they never disciplined them when they were kids, they were never taught right from wrong, and they believe anything their daughters tell them. What gets me about this case...is the parents of the attackers putting all the blame on the victim when she didn't do anything other then make a remark their daughters didn't like so to get back her they beat her up and then the parents defend their daugthers-DISGUSTING!!! Let's just say "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"!!!!

*There have been incidents before with the same group of girls before from what I have heard. I'm betting a couple of them already have a criminal record. Anyway, they need to be tried as adults and they need to go to prison to serve time. I tell you this-criminals that are already in prison...don't like you for the crimes you did to get there. They will beat you up and even kill you. These girls would be crying and wishing to be back home with mommy and daddy because they would get a taste of their own medicine!!!!

*The attack was pre-meditated because they lured her back to the house, all the girls were there, and the two boys standing out front to be on the lookout. They intended to do her bodily harm and all for what? Some comment they didn't like?? Then to say they were going to post on youtube/myspace??? All I have to say is "dumb girls"...they should know better to know that the authorites would get this tape and now look what's happened???

This whole incident DISGUSTS ME!!! Ok enough said...I'm done venting!!!

Until Next Time,
