This is just awful

Watch until the end.

Such senseless violence, and someone lost their life because of it.

There's a DC thread about this same topic - here's a shitty VICE news report about it.

A dispute between two high schoolers in Georgia escalated on Friday to the point that nearly 50 people showed up at the house of a 15-year-old girl. What happened next was closer to a combination of A Clockwork Orange and Kids than your typical schoolyard scrap: Video footage shows young women hitting one another with fists, young men assailing each other with bats, and a rogue Dodge Charger almost running them all over.

Demajhay Bell, an 18-year-old, was fatally stabbed in the neck during the skirmish, and nine people have been charged with his murder, as the Augusta Chronicle reports. Among the suspects are the 15-year-old girl's mother, and another parent who apparently drove her daughter to the fight.

Local authorities are suggesting social media––basically the desire to end up on a site like World Star Hip Hop––might be to blame for the violence. Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree told the Chronicle fights in the area have been getting larger and more intense as of late. "With everything they do, (teens think) it has to be elevated so the world will take note," he said.

The mob was certainly a spectacle that required some effort to coordinate. But it's hard to explain Bell's murder, as he was apparently a non-participant who hid in a house for most of the fight, and was allegedly stabbed by a friend, 21-year-old Demetrius Lamont Harris Jr. A tenth suspect is still being sought.

Sheriff Roundtree told the Associated Press the fight started over a boy and some "racy photos." Apparently there was an original scuffle on campus, and lingering resentments played out on Facebook and through texts. Each girl gathered friends and relatives to settle the dispute in the streets, setting the stage for the tragedy on Friday.

In the two-minute video that's been circulating online, Bell can be seen running past the camera while bleeding from the neck as bystanders scream, "Call 911!" The mother of the 15-year-old girl has suggested she tried to drive him out of the fracas, but got out of the car when another scuffle broke out. Bell reportedly attempted to take the wheel himself, but ultimately a police officer took the teenager for the hospital, where he died Sunday.

"This is the epitome of a senseless murder," Roundtree said.

The sheriff suggested the charges were intended to send a strong message. Each of the nine arrestees is accused of aggravated assault and felony murder—or murder committed in the course of a separate felony. In Georgia, felony murder does not require intent to kill, but it does carry a life sentence.

You don't really see anything disturbing. Aside from the fact people are stupid

Seeing a kid get stabbed and then run past the camera with a fatal wound isn't disturbing to you?

Depends on what you mean by disturbing.
I was expecting major bloodletting.
Sure, you don't like to see stuff like this and it's sickening by definition ..but when you watched World at War as a kid,watching a dumb scirmish on film isn't so bad.

I guess I'm more referencing how disturbing it is to see someone lose their life over, what I'm understanding, was a very minor issue. I mean what the **** were these kids doing in the first place? Swinging bats at each other.. one guy had a knife, and the person in that Charger was trying their damndest to run those kids over. Looks like something out of GTA 5.

This is what you get when you combine uneducated stupidity, lack of parenting and unchecked obsessive,controlling disorders all in one. Most people just deal with one of these things in their life and usually have a minor support system to counter it.
And let's not forget bring a race that people expect this from and write it off as such. They can't win and choose to ket it ride that way.
People were worried punk rock anarchy was a real thing lol.
This is anarchy but the kind that implodes on itself and changes nothing for the better.

It's just ****ing stupid because cameras are being used in sad ways instead of good moments all the time.

He's stabbed around the 1:35 mark. Right after the car goes plowing through the front yard.

Dude with red shorts and a white/gray tree runs up behind him, and yeah.. it's all on the tape.
