Texas Teenagers Arrange Street Fight on Internet
DALLAS (Reuters) - Teenage street fighting entered the digital age in a Dallas suburb where 33 people have been arrested for slugging it out in a massive melee arranged on the Internet and videotaped by participants, police said on Wednesday.

Police in Garland said several people were injured in the fight and those arrested included 27 high school students. Police were able to make arrests in this case earlier this week after reviewing a videotape of the brawl.

The date and time of the meeting of rivals from two high schools' car clubs had been arranged over the Internet, said Joe Harn, an officer with the Garland police department.

Harn said that as a police gangs unit investigated the case, the group discovered the Internet communication and the existence of videotapes.

2. This is what I thought when I saw "Fight Club"
What kind of spoiled society has so little in the way of opposition in their lives that they seek to have the shit beat out of them as entertainment?

Most of us, growing up, spent a lot of time trying to AVOID having the shit beat out of us. But now, life is so easy, and entertainment so violent, that this has become some kind of NEED for our young people.

WEIRDNESS.
