St. Petersburg, Florida - The video is hard to watch and it's littered with profanity and racial slurs.
For nearly two minutes, adults, possibly even parents, cheer on two young boys to duke it out.
It was posted on the popular website, MySpace.com by a teen claiming to be from St. Petersburg.
Trenia Byrd Cox, President of the St. Petersburg chapter of the NAACP calls the clip shocking and disturbing. Titled "Jr. Ghetto Street Fights," the clip has gotten more than 8,000 hits. It's listed as a comedy, but Cox sees it as anything but laughable.

I just watched it. I have to fight the urge to want to whip out my checkbook and write that big fat reparations check I bet they so richly feel they deserve...

It's good to see that there's some testosterone left in the kids today. A brutal fist fight is something a kids never forgets; it helps build strong bones and character.

All the adults shown in this video should be tracked down and prosecuted for child abuse.

Out of control. A state investigation needs to be launched, these kids removed from their "guardians" and eveyone there arrested and imprisoned for 5 years.

Subjective, relative terms are standard for MSM. "Disturbing".
Almost like....
"TROUBLING"
To: FFIGHTER
Can't kids find other places to fight than on MySpace?

It is an odd headline.
As if people can't decide for themselves whether it is troubling or not.

Well, I'm SURE the child protective authorities in Florida are on this case. It looks like two little boys need to be removed from their homes.
Maybe Madonna or Angelina Jolie would want to adopt one?

I paid my reparations three years ago when I got mugged at an ATM.
