Women get vicious if they think you are flirting with their man.

Every time I see people with gauges like hers I have to fight the urge to go buy a combination lock and snap it shut in one.

I have no idea of the ‘race’ of any of the three. But it was the apparently White goofy looking guy who assumed the girl was flirting with him, and egged the female on.
I bet she wasn’t flirting with him at all; he just wanted to stir up some trouble.

The female did the beating and the male who was 17 is facing the longer prison term.

I could buy that the girlfriend was jealous over attempted flirting, real or imagined. But what guy beats up a girl for attempting to flirt with him? The narrative makes no sense.
To: Chewbarkah
"The girl told police that Hainsworth accused her of flirting with him, and then he allegedly told Morgan that she should beat the girl up for doing so. She said Morgan then began to yell and threaten to hurt her, the charges state, and she said she reacted by walking away.
"As she left, the 16-year-old told police that Morgan came up from behind, pushed her to the ground and got on top of her. She said she kept her hands up to prevent Morgan from hitting her, but told police Morgan did land a few punches to her face.
Charges say the girl also told police that Morgan grabbed her hair and slammed her face to the ground a number of times. She said she couldn’t recall what else occurred because she thought she may have passed out.'.

Doesn’t seem possible that anyone would “flirt” with either of them.
