Mulberry, Florida (WTSP) – It’s the fist fight being watched around the world. By now most people know what sparked it. Trash talking supposedly posted on the victim’s MySpace page.
But who are the six girls and two guys accused in the beating? Brittni Hardcastle is the one in the white tank top and pink sweats. Her grandfather told us by phone “We support her.”
The video is all the buzz at Mulberry High School where many of the suspects attend classes. Tuesday students say teachers had to tell classes to stop talking about the video.
But one student says not only are many people shocked about the video they’re also shocked about the main person throwing punches in it saying Brittni Hardcastle is one of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet.
Kathy Morrisroe is a student at Mulberry high school student and says “I couldn’t believe it. I was watching it and I saw that it was Brittni and I went to church with the girl. She doesn’t strike me at all like that.” In fact Kathy says Brittni befriended her and was very nice to her.
Miles Fass is also a Mulberry high school student who says the suspects in the video are not known as being bullies. “They’re known to be pretty cool actually to tell you the truth I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it on the internet.”
We called the parents of the other students accused in the beating. The mother of Brittany Mayes says her daughter is “A good girl.”

LOUISVILLE (WAVE) — WAVE 3 is investigating shocking and disturbing video that has been posted on the internet. We all know kids get into fights, but WAVE 3's Maira Ansari reports that recording the fight and displaying it for all to see is something police are worried about in southern Indiana.
It's video that is all over the internet for everyone to see. Residents in Scott County say it's disturbing.
“It looked awful. It looked absolutely awful. I was shocked. The poor kids just laying there on the ground and he's just being hit repeatedly,” said Scott County resident Jill Smeadley.
It happened near Lake Iola in Scottsburg, Indiana. Families like Smeadley and her kids often come to the lake to walk. Surprisingly, she says seeing fights in the area aren't uncommon.
“I saw kids just driving by the other day and they were younger children they had sticks,” said Smeadley.
But seeing these fights popping up on the internet isn't something she says you see every day. She's not the only one concerned.
“You can see it's a pretty brutal fight. The small kid got whipped up pretty good,” said Scott County Sheriff John Lizenby.
“This is entertainment to them now. This is fun. They can put it on the internet and they can get more attention for it,” said Smeadley.
The Scott County Sheriff's office says two fights within the past ten days between the same 17-year-old and 14-year-old have been posted on the internet on sites like YouTube and MySpace.
Lizenby says he probably would have never known about the fight had it not been posted on the internet.
“We watched both videos on the internet. Started our investigation Monday morning. We found out who the kids were. We interviewed them. Talked to them about how serious this could have been. Neither of the kids understood the seriousness of it,” said Lizenby.
