I definitely had to look that up, and both the standard and "urban" dictionaries referred to it as derogatory. Just sayin...

This doesn't excuse anything or make it less vile. But there are several sides to every story and it's easy to judge when you don't know the people. the situation or the circumstances. Of course these kids should go to jail and be punished extensively, but to all the many people wishing death and brutal torture and other violence to these attackers, realize that you were manipulated by what you see and make rash judgment without all the facts. That in essence is the problem with most media.

This was a terrible thing to watch, but unfortunately this kid of thing happens all the time everywhere between rival groups of thugs and this crime just happened to be caught on video so thankfully the perpetrators will be caught. Unfortunately the "FOBs" that committed acts of violence will not.

Just wanted to put some perspective to things. Doesn't make the video any less disgusting though. This is a prime example of the never ending cycle of violence that gangs and groups like that create.

PS I don't understand why you're making the N word an issue here. That should be the least of our concerns when it comes to this video. The N word didn't bust this guys face.
I can understand the mentality if it was true. If you ever got jumped or marked by a group of men, you would understand getting even is worth more than letting it slide or calling the cops WHO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING AGAINST HIGH SCHOOL MINORS. Who calls cops when they were being bullied in HS? However, the beating that the kid got was over what was called for. You never hit someone who is down. Playground rules.

First of all, my heart goes out to the victim. There's nothing funny about seeing someone being assaulted. But, I have to admit, looking at how weak those goons were, made me laugh. He wore them all down, without throwing one punch. Who would have thought that one mark could be so outmanned, and still have the strength to outrun his perpetrators? I wish he wasn't so scared. He could have actually beat all six of them. I'm sorry, but they were sloppy and out of shape.

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen similar and worse in person, and there are hundreds, if not thousands of more horrendous videos on the web if you know where to look.

I'm glad that at least one person is with me on that. I thought I'd be blasted, once again, for my twisted sense of humor. But, in all fairness, I'm a lover not a fighter. I couldn't stand the sight of watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship. My only reason for watching this particular video is because it was on City-Data.
