What Not To Do If You Get In A Fight At School: Post It On YouTube

Three Proviso East High School sophomores are the latest in a growing group of dumbass teens students lacking good judgment: they're in hot water over getting into a fight and posting it on YouTube. From the Sun-Times:

Two are charged with felony aggravated battery and felony mob action, while the third, who admitted filming the incident, is charged with mob action. The charges were filed Tuesday.

The fight happened Feb. 19 in the cafeteria of the school at 807 S. First Ave. in unincorporated Maywood about 12:40 p.m., the release said. In the video, one offender is seen walking up behind the victim, a 16-year-old sophomore, grabbing her and slamming her down on a lunch table.

In case you're wondering if this was some kind of gang-related incident, you're wrong. According to what the attacker told the police, she went after the other girl "because she just didn’t like her." Well that makes perfect sense. Clearly, the camera-wielding teen does not take any film classes: the video is jittery in a Blair Witch kind of way and the angle is sideways for a good portion but there's enough there to get the gist of it.
