Tony and Bernardo fought one-on-one. Sure, it was right after Bernardo offed Riff, but it wasn't a gang-up.

we all have our e-penises these days, so people don't fight in order to prove themselves, they fight in order to beat the crap out of whoever they are fighting. and when the whole proving yourself bullshit is out of the way, there's really no advantage that isn't fair game.

There were some incidents similar to this one where school students would record other students being beaten up and then put it up on youtube.

The solution ended up being that if kids were seen in these sorts of video's, whether they were the attackers or just bystanders, were expelled. There haven't been any more recently.

That's not to say it's not still happening, but just out of school uniforms, although i think the incidence has really dropped after a huge amount of publicity in the media about it.

I really believe there should be (if there isn't already) some kind of task force in the police to deal with this kind of behaviour. It's just disgusting.

idiots, what where they thinking? ganging up on him was one thing but recording it?

there's really no shock value here, find a boy hasn't gone through highschool without getting bullied and/or bullling? chances are that he was extremely lucky to slip between the cracks and chances are it means he saw a lot without getting involved. with the rare exceptions,this is just part of highschool life: girls give each other eating disorders and boys beat the crap out of each other, not always but for the most part these stereotypes exist because every highschool in the history of public education has strenghened them.

They just need some redirection, like towards Wall Street.
