Caught on Tape?

Street fights are the last thing that I would expect or want to see captured on video. However, that seems to be the current trend these days. See a fight…stop…join the crowd of spectators…then pull out your cell phone and start recording. **crickets/side eye** I seriously don’t get it. **shrugs shoulders** It can’t be an age thing. Standing by and recording a fight at 13, 17, 23, 53 (no matter the age) isn’t okay! This type of reaction lacks common sense. Do people really enjoy watching other people get beat down? Whatever happened to calling for help or finding a nearby adult to break up the fight? I guess for some that’s no longer the right thing to do. Wouldn’t want to miss a prime YouTube posting opportunity right?

WRONG! This week, two brutal girl fights were caught on cell phones. A New Jersey middle school student is recovering from injuries she suffered after being attacked by another student this past Monday. And what was the fight over you ask? Her braids...yes her braids. Crazy right? I don't understand what could make someone so upset that they would beat up another girl because of the way she wears her hair? A Chicago sophomore at Bogan High School, says that she was attacked and overpowered by a group of her fellow peers at a bus stop. Her hair was pulled from her head when the girls tried to drag her off the bus. Watch the two videos below to see the victims and their family’s reactions.
