This is disgusting and very difficult to watch.In Missouri, law requires our office to @stlcopa No jurisdiction. This is a juvenile court matter unless certified…and by law, certification is not our decision either. We hope the victim makes a full recovery. This is truly heartbreaking. https://t.co/Tn1mfUwOnb

One Twitter user said the video shows people “just standing there watching, filming, or both” while the girl “jerks on the floor.” was called a “dystopia”.
It’s a dystopia.
There are a lot of people standing around, either watching, filming, or both.
The girl is jerking off on the floor.
The thugs wearing shorts must be held accountable. At best, this is attempted murder…and possibly murder. I hope she gets the appropriate punishment.
