8 Arrested for Beating Teenage Girl

8 Arrested for Beating Teenage Girl - 6 girls beat up a teenage girl while 2 guys stand guard at the door. They were arrested and will be charged as adults due to the brutality of this beating. Video courtesy of the Polk County Sheriff's Department.

According to law enforcement officials in Lakeland, Fla., the six girls -- aided by two boys who stood guard; they're all pictured in the mugshots here -- were upset at the victim, 16-year-old Victoria Lindsay, over "trash talking" that occurred on MySpace and via text messages.

The girls ask stunningly stupid questions as they beat her -- they essentially want to know, Why don't you like us?, which you'd suppose would be obvious, what with the fists et al. The worst part comes about a third into the video, when one girl cautions another not to hurt the furniture as they beat Lindsay.
