News.com have this story on a bashing incident which apparently occured at Woden Plaza and for which the footage is now up on Youtube.
Anyone know anything about this?
It’s a rather sad indictment on society that such actions provide such entertainment (and, yes, I’m aware of the irony of me posting information about it here and, thus, potentially ensuring more people are “entertained” by it).
[Ed.(Jazz) this came in from a few people, including Toriness who actually found the vid in question. I suggest its not for everyone if you are thinking of watching it]
HORRIFIC footage of a group of teenage girls bashing a mother at a shopping centre is being examined by police.
Graphic footage of the fight, which appeared to have been filmed on a mobile phone by a teenage bystander outside of a Westfield shopping centre, has been viewed more than 140,000 times since it was uploaded onto the internet last week.
An ACT Police spokesman said the incident appeared to have taken place at the entrance of Westfield Woden, but was unsure when the attack occurred.

The spokesman said a formal report was not made to police over the incident.

I can never fathom the stupidity of people placing footage of a crime they committed online for the world to see – I guess in this case it was a bystander, but why on earth didn’t they step in to help? And the rest of the cowards in the crowd doing the same, and even worse cheering these teenrats on???? What is wrong with people!
