Video shows the vicious beating of two sisters by a crowd in Trenton's Greg Grant Park.

The video of the brutal assaults on Destiny Cooke, 16, and Lajahia Cooke, 17, has been shared on several Facebook pages.

The sisters were allegedly “play fighting” with friends.

People nearby misinterpreted the fight, left the scene, and came back with a crowd of people to join in.

The riot ended up including adults.

Those damn Amish and Mennonites fighting again.

That's what I always do when I'm a witness to a dispute among others. You have to pass the time somehow.

Probably relatives of the Hatfields and the McCoys.

Derbyshire Rules

You do bring a ball bat with you, don’t you? It’s rude to show up to a street fight empty-handed, sort of like a wedding.

Tupac Shakur rules.

“Lajahia”

La-Ja-Hi-Yah???

[Ken H]

Same here. Problem is, by the time I’be assembled my mob, the dispute is over.

[skimbell]

Yeah, and "black lives matter" and all that stuff.

[Tax-chick]

Oh, dear ... I was bringing a cat. No wonder I get so battered.

It’s hard to resist a bongo party, even a fake one.

[lee martell]

Wow. Those are some stupid neighbors the sisters have. Stupid and primitive in their mob actions. That’s the kind of person who will get into a knock down drag out public fight down a staircase all over a ‘mean look’ from somebody else. Shopping for trouble. When in doubt, shoot it out.

[Tax-chick]

That happens to me on FR sometimes, too.

[Tax-chick]

Excellent point.

[oh8eleven]

Feckin' animals, all of 'em ... the young, the old, the sick, lame and lazy, blind, crippled, crazy. Whatever.
Can you imagine an America without ... oh, nevermind.

[tumblindice]

Hi-a-lay-ah? Somebody bet on the bay. Dayum!

[SkyDancer]

Should have sold popcorn and soda ....

The Mayor of Trenton, Eric Jackson, released a statement about the brawl.

It stated: “… and personally I grief about those individuals with the brutal attack on the two young ladies, the Cooke sisters, and I am angry by the lack of the Samaritans who should of stepped forward to come to the aid of these victims.”

Mayor Jackson appears to have attended the same Trenton public schools as Destiny Cooke, bless her heart, who earned a Like Density award with her statement: “I called my mom and I'm like well can you come get us because there's like grown women here and like they're waking up to us and as I'm talking to her got hit and like my phone fell and I just had to defend myself."

Oh of course, they weren't really fighting.

I highly suspect some girls were being picked on within the sister's group, and others didn't like it.

You don't want a fight, then don't start one.

Prolly more drugs available in that area than soda and popcorn.
