Fight filmed on phone posted to MySpace
Cell phone captures fight at local school; video posted on MySpace:
Nothing says back to school quite a like a high school brawl that gets recorded and posted to MySpace. That’s exactly what happened at Shawnee High School in Louisville , Kentucky.
Policy keeps students from using school technology to get to websites like MySpace, but it doesn’t stop access on their cell phones. That’s why fights like the one Shawnee are causing concern.
“I got a knot on the side of my head and then this, this right here is from her ring hitting me because she had rings on all her fingers,” said Brooke Lindsay.
Brooke can watch the fight that got her forehead bruised, eye scratched and three days suspension for herself and another girl. That’s because a classmate caught the incident on camera phone.
“It wasn’t but like a four second fight. It wasn’t long,” Brooke said.
But long enough to get the video on MySpace. While officials still don’t know who shot the video, Jefferson County Public Schools policy doesn’t allow students to use school technology to access websites like MySpace. The rules aren’t so clear, when it comes to cell phones.
15-year-old Brooke Pollard is also in the video. She didn’t want to talk on camera, but admits to starting the fight after she claims words were exchanged in person and on MySpace earlier this week. She says she didn’t know about a video until school officials broke up the fight and classmates began to talk about it.
The marvels of modern technology. I’m glad to see they’re being put to such productive use.
