  • Attackers allegedly apologized

    Attackers Bought Victim Drinks At CVS After Videotaping Beating:

    More from the story that refuses to die.

    According to the article Victoria Lindsay was taken to a local CVS after her infamous beating. Some of her attackers allegedly apologized and bought her drinks.

    Did they think they were ‘all good’ now? Because you know the proper response to trash talk is a beating by 6 people. That’s sarcasm by the way.

  • Michael Gray sentenced

    Man sentenced for having sex with minor he met on MySpace:

    Back in October I posted about the arrest of 30-year-old Michael David Gray of Grover Beach, California. He was arrested for having sex with a 15-year-old girl that he met over MySpace and supplying her with drugs. All sorts of people came out of the woodwork defending Mr. Gray saying there’s no way the charges of true because he’s not capable of such a heinous act.

    Well, the court seems to disagree as he was sentenced to 60-days behind bars for unlawful sexual intercourse, aka statutory rape. He’ll also have three years of probation and 20 hours of community service. He also can not have any drugs or alcohol or have any contact with the girl.

  • Lindsay family hires famous attorney

    Gloria Allred to represent videotaped beating victim:

    From the ‘Nothing good can come of this’ department comes the latest about beating victim Victoria Lindsay.

    Her parents have allegedly hired famed feminist attorney Gloria Allred.

    I commend Ms. Allred for taking this case because I am sure she is doing it pro-bono. However, I’m leery of attorneys with an obvious agenda. For everyone’s sake, I hope Ms. Allred puts her client’s well-being ahead of her agenda.

  • Beating vctim’s family says there’s no official support site

    Beating victim’s family fears fake web pages:

    The family of Victoria Lindsay is saying that there is no official support page and that there are dozens of fakes popping up. Some are even asking for financial support.

    They say they don’t want to give the impression that Victoria doesn’t need support, but sending messages, or even financial help to the wrong places is no help at all.

    “I feel like she is being victimized again, but in a different way,” her stepmom Talisa Lindsay told FOX 13 at her home on Sunday.

    Remember kids, not everything on the internet is true.

  • Dr. Phil backpedals

    Dr. Phil Show Bails Out Teen Charged in Vicious YouTube Attack:

    The Dr. Phil show is now stating that the representative that bailed out Mercades Nichols violated the show’s rules and they will not be going forward with that story.

    “In this case, certain staff members went beyond our guidelines (re the bail being paid). These staff members have been spoken to and our policies reiterated. In addition, we have decided not to go forward with the story as our guidelines have been compromised,” the statement read.

    Uh-huh. Sure. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the court of public opinion coming down on them like a ton of bricks.

  • Did Dr. Phil bail out beating suspect?

    REPORT: Doctor Phil paid to get YouTube beating suspect out of jail:

    I don’t know how true this story is but at least one Florida news outlet is reporting that Dr. Phil paid the bail of Mercades Nichols. Nichols is the alleged ringleader in the recorded beating of Victoria Lindsay. Allegedly Dr. Phil’s people tried to get other reporters to leave the jail as Nichols was his exclusive.

    If any of this story is true then Dr. Phil should be run off TV especially if he’s paying her. Crime isn’t supposed to pay.

  • Bail set for beating suspects

    Bail set for teens in YouTube beating:

    The suspects in the recorded beating of Victoria Lindsay have had their bail set at $30,000 each. 18-year-old Stephen Schumaker is already out on bail.

    I guess the rest of them are trying to take out mortgages on their double wides.

    Here are the bail conditions

    Bail conditions for the teenagers forbid the six girls from seeing each other or contacting one another in any way. They are also not allowed to contact the victim, Victoria Lindsay, 16, or the victim’s family. The girls are home arrested, being allowed to leave their homes only to come in court. Visiting Mulberry High School, as well as the Wing House restaurant in Lakeland, where Victoria has worked in the past month is also forbidden.

  • Vigilantes and Clowns

    Contact Information Posted In ‘Cheerleader’ Beating, Families Seek Protection:

    There’s a lot of dumbassery to go around in this article.

    First, are the internet tough guy vigilantes who thought it was a great idea to post the names and phone numbers of the suspects in the Victoria Lindsay beating to YouTube. To whoever posted the video and the subsequent yahoos who harassed their families, you need to grow up. You’ve stooped to their level. And in the meantime, a family who had nothing to do with was harassed in the process. Did it accomplish anything except feeding your basement dwelling internet tough guy ego? That has probably made things worse. It could possibly make a jury more sympathetic to the suspects rather than the victim. So, way to go assclowns.

    Speaking of assclowns let’s go to one Stephen Schumaker. He’s the only suspect released on bail and acted as one of the lookouts. He doesn’t see what the big deal is…

    Schumaker, the only one of the eight arrested to be released from jail, told Local 6 that his family is receiving death threats from all over the United States.

    “I don’t see why I’m even in this whole situation,” Schumaker said in an interview for Local 6.

    What are you, stupid? You took an active part in a savage beating. It was your job to make sure that no one interrupted it. As the only ‘adult’ in the group, you should have known better but obviously, your mentality betrays your adult status.

  • Beating suspects charged as adults

    Report: Teens Behind Florida YouTube Attack to Be Charged as Adults:

    All 7 suspects in the beating of Veronica Lindsay who are juveniles will be tried as adults.

    Mercades Nichols, 17, Brittini Hardcastle, 17, and Britney Mayes, 17, face charges of felonious battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping in connection with the attack. Cara Murphy, 16, Kayla Hassell, 15, April Cooper, 14, Zachary Ashley, 17, and Stephen Schumaker, 18, face charges of felonious battery and false imprisonment.

    Since Schumaker is 18 it goes without saying that he’ll be charged as an adult.

    The article states that three of them have been charged with tampering with a witness but it doesn’t say which 3.

    Hopefully, this means that it’s gone beyond ‘a slap on the wrist’.
