Three guys beating up a girl. They must feel very proud and superior. What a group of losers they are. I hope she's doing well and they get arrested.

Boys beating up girls. Their Mothers must be so very proud. They must be so very proud of themselves that they AS A GROUP can attack a girl on her own. Bet you a thousand dollars EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM will be in jail and will be a girlfriend to a man named "Bubba" before five years is up. Obviously these BOYS are afraid of men. These BOYS will never be men...they obviously just don't have what it takes. This just disgusts me ... as I'm sure the sight of these BOYS would do the same!!
