Violence Among Girls Increasing in U.S.?

BALTIMORE (AP) - Twelve-year-old Nicole Townes is out of a coma but still struggling to recover after being pummeled and stomped at a birthday party in a beating that was shocking not just because of its savagery, but because it was meted out by other girls.

hmm...kids these days . If you're going to theorize that violence among girls in the USA is increasing, you may want to include more than one news report. That's just one incident. I have yet to see a fight between girls where I live.

Another thing is, they dont mention race. It's probably the black girls.

that wouldn't suprise me in the least.

Up here at HSU a couple black girls beat up a cop a few weeks ago. Of course the multicultural center claimed teh girls were oppressed because they were drunk and at a party when the cop was called to break up a fight that was already in progress.

Of course the cop was in the wrong because he was a white male doing his job.

There's a lot of angry blacks at this place. Even the girls, bring their gang drama crap up here from L.A. and other places in southern CA.

Girls that fight are normally nasty fighters too. Something thrilling to watch if you aren't involved. That sounds sick, but they beat the hell out of each other no holds barred. One of the things that I've heard and never seen about the schools here in the inner city US are that the girls will carry razors in their mouths and cut another in a fight so that they scar the other girls face.

I remember when I lived in the US, Once a friend and I drove to watch this concert. Unfortunatly, The neighborhood was HORRIBLE. One of those typical black neighborhoods you see on movies where people look like they are ready to kill. So at a red light, We saw this 2 black girls teaming up on this white girl, They where pretty nasty fighters. They where just kicking her in the ground.
