People suck, truly. Glad that guy installed a camera on his house. I hope our neighborhood starts doing that, too many car & house break-ins for my taste. I don't mind big brother in that instance.

It's a scary trend in the US and seems to be growing.

These young people know that there is strength and animosity in numbers.
Social media gives them their fame.

It's sick to think that youth today get their kicks out of randomly beating people on the street.

I saw this on the local news. The beating must not have been too bad because he got up and ran off with his attackers.

I don't know if it's a trend that is more prevalent nowadays or if the actions are being reported more prevalently than in the past. Who knows if this beating was random. Could've been a fight between a couple of guys that got out of control, who knows.

no, the problem is these stupid idiotic teenagers do this and because a lot of people are afraid to fight back, especially adults. I was just talking about this subject last night with someone when I saw a white teenager attacked by three black girls. She was 14. Anyways, I told him that if I was ever attacked like that that I would fight back. I think though that people are afraid they will go to jail if they do that though.

The minute any adult stands up and fights back against these morons they are instantly labeled "baby killers" and people cry about an adult hitting, shooting or killing an "unarmed teenager". Based on that video alone I think we can all agree that an unarmed teenager is able to inflict a whole lot of physical damage on another human being, no weapon needed.

I would hate to be stuck in a situation like that but I've got no problem whatsoever shooting back against any attacker who is kicking me in the head while I'm down, teenager or not.
