This whole thing seems very odd to me. After getting beat on she continues to try to argue and reason with the other girls. Why not make a run for the door, or a bathroom, or something? It's like she isn't even trying to escape or fight back, and barely defending herself.

Unsupervised teenagers can be prison-mentality savages, especially in groups. It's good that these eight girls all got arrested, but this shouldn't be some "what is our culture coming to?" moment for us. We've been here for a very long time. Worse happens week after week, month after month, year after year. Frequently it only starts to be considered newsworthy when the targets decide to take some people with them before killing themselves. Sad.
