8 teens charged in videotaped attack
Is this going to become a new teen fad? Attack someone, videotape it and put it on the internet?
Error Page - Yahoo! News 8 teens charged in videotaped attack Tue Apr 8, 9:39 AM ET LAKELAND, Fla. - Eight teenagers have been arrested on charges alleging they beat another teen in an "animalistic attack" so they could make a videotape to post on YouTube. Seven of them remained in juvenile detention Tuesday, authorities said. A boy who was charged as an adult had been released on bail. Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30 by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, authorities said. One of the girls struck the 16-year-old victim on the head several times and then slammed her head into a wall, knocking her unconscious, according to an arrest report. Later, according to a clip of the video that was released by the Polk County sheriff's office, the teens can be seen blocking a door and hitting Victoria. "It's absolutely an animalistic attack," Sheriff Grady Judd said Tuesday on NBC's "Today." "They lured her into the home for express purpose of filming the attack and posting it on the Internet." Victoria's father, Patrick Lindsay, said the teens intended to post the video on the video-sharing Web site YouTube. Christina Garcia, mother of one of the defendants, said her daughter had turned the tape over to police. The sheriff's office said that after the attack, three of the teens forced the victim into a vehicle and drove her to another location, where she was told she would be given a worse beating if she contacted police. All eight suspects were arrested April 2 and charged with battery and false imprisonment. The three teens who took Lindsay to the second location are also charged with felony kidnapping. Lindsay was treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, police said.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. "Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. "I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up." The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

This type of thing is actually an initiation tradition for Hispanic female and male gangs here in California. You get beaten on by the gang for a short period of time, then you are in the gang.

Of course, you can also be "jumped out" of a gang. That is actually more of a sever beating.
