Violent Motive =/= external provoking

Exactly
Now, I could see something like she's a sister of a rival gang-member or something.
The worst-case scenario I can see here is that she maybe beat-up or even merely "dissed" a girlfirend of one of theirs or something.. but certainly nothing justifying this level of aggression.
boot camp would be better than beating by parents. I agree!

AND getting robbed/shoes taken. It's a horrific video!! Started with a few boys then more just ran up and joined. I've never seen anything like this..
I hope these kids sent to a boot camp and punished to the full extent possible for their age.

That obviously wasn't my point... my point is you don't need to be externally provoked by the victim to result in something like this.
Having watched the video, I agree that they clearly were targeting her for a reason - but that reason doesn't only have to be something she herself directly did to them - let alone resulting in this level of violence.

Looks like 5 turned themselves in so far. Police believe it was retaliation for a fight earlier that day that the victim was involved in.
As to charges so far..
All five boys — ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old — were charged with robbery and gang assault, cops said.
"It doesn't matter if you believe me or not but common sense doesn't really work here. You're mad, I'm mad. We're all MAD here."
That's most likely the story..or something similar. They could have been tipped off about where she would be or the general area. For all we know, they planned this and were looking for her. Then pounced on her en masse after knowing where she was. I also don't see this as some random beating. Some gangs take things seriously, leaving..stealing..etc There is more to the story but that girl didn't deserve anything near what happened. T.T

Sure there is. She wasn't jumped by a dozen all at once. Once the others realized she was prepared to defend herself, the situation can change rapidly. No tool however, is 100% effective. But in this case, it is mute, as she was under the legal limit for some tools.
And it happening where it did, even if she was the legal age, means unless she broke the law, odds are, she wouldn't be able to be prepared if she wanted to.

Beating up someone and stealing their shoes isn't that rare. Even in places like North Chicago *a suburb about an hour away from Chicago* If you're walking around in a pair of Jordans or any high name brand shoes, there is a chance you'll get beat up and have them taken from you. That's been happening for a LONG time.

Thanks for this btw. I knew there had to be something tied to this beating.

It's an upsetting thing to see, but I don't really focus on the elated feelings they may have had since that isn't a very unbiased way to view things. Especially when you know the issues surrounding mob mentality. People lose themselves and greatly increase their capacity for evil.
I'm for justice, not revenge.
Aww, its just teens being teens. We get told repeatedly that youth aren’t responsible for their own actions. Just ask them to say theyre sorry and everything will be fine.
