It Has Often Been Said That...

that criminals are not the smartest people in the world, and this bunch further proves that supposition.

On March 30, 2008, the victim, 16 year old Victoria *, was lured to a home in Lakeland, Florida. These individuals thought that to achieve fame and notoriety via YouTube, they would assault Victoria, and videotape the brutal beating of her. Although some blogs have posted the complete names and ages of the 'alleged' perpetrators, I will not post their names or ages, nor will I post their victim's name in full. I will however, post the perpetrators mugshots and their videotape, not to further their illusionary claim to fame, but to illustrate a claim of notoriety as criminals who rightfully deserve prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

I have no sympathy for these teenagers (except for the victim), none what so ever. Zip...Zero...Nada. What they did was beyond contempt. This was not some random 'schoolyard fight', but was plan...a plan to hurt a young girl that did not deserve this, no matter what. I care not what their parents or their lawyers might say in order to excuse the behavior of these moral degenerates, for said excuses will fall on deaf ears for me. I cannot fathom the pain and fear this young girl experienced, and the mental trauma she will endure for the unforeseen future.

These teenagers are nothing but thugs, and should be treated as such.
