I think this whole this is truly disgusting! My heart goes out to the girl who is being hit as she obviously took the higher ground. It's heart wrenching to watch anyone get hurt and I just hope that the girls who did the "beating" get serious jail time!

God is in control, but He has allowed Satan to dominate humanity for two basic reasons. First, Adam and Eve, our first parents, chose Satan's domination over them.
