I think the story that they wanted her to help them is bull. I think she was the target all along. White girl, black gang. Race crime.
I agree with you people are starting to call acts of violence like this what it is. seven years ago you would of been told that it could not be a race crime when a black gang went after some one white. it has become so common that these kids that do this sort of crime no that they are being called out on it so they claim they were trying to get her to beat up another kid to get rid of racial component to what happen.
